I've got a couple of existing sites that I'm considering using headlessly:
I would use the existing wp instance as a CMS, and pull data into a static site.
I would like to pull the data using graphql

As far as I can tell, Toolset doesn't support graphql, but I thought I'd check to see if that is the case.

If I'm right: are there plans for Toolset to allow for graphql support?

Thanks.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

Your understanding is correct and out-of-the-box, Toolset doesn't directly offer integration with graphQL. It does support integration with the WordPress REST API, though:
https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/toolset-integration-with-the-rest-api/

However, since the custom post types, custom fields, and custom taxonomies registered through Toolset Types are in fact saved in the WordPress standard structure in the database, in theory, you should still be able to access that data through graphQL layer, too.

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.

regards,
Waqar
