React Bridge

Headless WordPress for any React or JavaScript frontend. One REST namespace (rb/v1) delivers posts, pages, taxonomies, menus, per-post SEO (meta, Open Graph, JSON-LD), crawler-ready HTML, a sitemap, server-side caching with ETags, and a signed revalidation webhook.

Features

  • Content API: /posts (paginated, filterable), /posts/{slug}, /pages/{slug}, /taxonomies, /manifest, /health.
  • SEO built in: every post ships a ready seo object and head_html; reads overrides from the plugin metabox, Yoast or Rank Math.
  • Crawler rendering: /render?path= returns full HTML for bots; drop-in nginx sample in the admin guide.
  • Sitemap with frontend URLs, capped at 50,000 entries, noindex-aware.
  • Cache: transient cache keyed by generation, Cache-Control and ETag/304 handling, flushed only on relevant content changes.
  • Webhook: publish, update, unpublish, delete events, HMAC-SHA256 signed, sent once per post per request.
  • Admin panel contract: GET/PATCH /blog-settings for an external admin panel (Application Password auth), plus one-click copy/paste of settings between WordPress and your panel.
  • Quick-start wizard: enter the frontend URL and the plugin allows its origin, probes it, and checks the connection.
  • Universal: translatable (English source, Persian translation included), follows the site text direction, no vendor-specific assumptions.
