Gatsby & WordPress - 5.1. - WPGraphQL isFrontPage

by Jack Pritchard

Hey! Just so you know, this article is over 2 years old. Some of the information in it might be outdated, so take it with a grain of salt. I'm not saying it's not worth a read, but don't take everything in it as gospel. If you're curious about something, it never hurts to double-check with a more up-to-date source!

In this video, we explore the new isFrontPage field available in our GraphQL schema as of WPGraphQL version 0.4.1.

Thanks to Zac Gordon and Jason Bahl for implementing this feature on a live stream (with no audio) that they shared to document their process of implementing new fields.

Jason has made it clear he's exercising his quality assurance to make sure any fields available to the plugin are essential to reduce bloat, and isFrontPage definitely meets that criteria as a must-have for those using WordPress in their JAMStack setups.
