Use with Advanced Custom Fields

Install the ACF to REST API plugin to make ACF fields available in the GraphQL schema.

Tips

Exclude unnecessary data from ACF fields

Gridsome needs the Return format set to Post Object for Post Object relations in order to resolve references automatically. But Gridsome only need the post_type and id to set up a working GraphQL reference. Use the filter below to exclude all other fields.

add_filter( 'acf/format_value', function ( $value ) {
  if ( $value instanceof WP_Post ) {
    return [
      'post_type' => $value->post_type,
      'id'        => $value->ID,
    ];
  }

  return $value;
}, 100 );

Use Custom REST Endpoints

To use REST endpoints from plugins or defined in your theme add a customEndpoints array to source-wordpress options.

  use: '@gridsome/source-wordpress',
  options: {
    ... // other source-wordpress options
    customEndpoints: [
      {
        typeName: "WPMenu",
        route: 'myApi/v1/menus',
      }
    ]
  }

If you are trying to query posts, you will need to add the normalize: true option to make sure the data is properly added:

    customEndpoints: [
        {
            typeName: "Posts",
            route: "/wp/v2/posts",
            normalize: true,
        },
    ]

Create Collections based on REST Endpoints

customEndpoints allow you to neatly create separate Collections by querying different REST endpoints.

    customEndpoints: [
        {
            typeName: "Collection1",
            route: "/wp/v2/posts?categories=<category_id>",
            normalize: true,
        },
        {
            typeName: "Collection2",
            route: "/wp/v2/posts?tags=<tag_id>",
            normalize: true,
        },
    ]
