ReactJs + Wordpress?

Hey everyone,

As some of you may know Wordpress came out with an API not to long ago that you can make HTTP requests to and not really worry so much about the routes as they handle the backend for you.

Now the golden question is how can I mix ReactJs with Wordpress API?

This has been driving me insane because I cannot find any solid content online about this. Help is greatly appreciated, thank you!

I actually read a blog post today about making plugins using react. The idea still seems a bit hackish to me, but there seems to be some momentum gathering around the idea. Here's a link to a blog post discussing how to create it. Hope it helps. Note that a lot of topics discussed are considered "bleeding-edge" but then again, the article is a little dated. https://lamosty.com/2015/09/07/react-single-page-wordpress-rest-api-theme-tutorial/

Hey Michael thanks for the reply really appreciate that. Although that blog post is interesting it is out dated. Wordpress has already came out with their 2nd version of the Wordpress API late 2016. So any information before that regarding their API is outdated and not a valid source. Still really appreciate the blog post, was definitely a good read. Thanks!
