Faust.js is a TypeScript toolkit of npm packages for building Next.js applications on top of headless WordPress. It provides data fetching, authentication, post previews, a WordPress-style template hierarchy, and block editor component mapping for decoupled frontends.

Use cases

• build a headless WordPress site with Next.js
• authenticate WordPress users in a decoupled React app
• preview WordPress posts before publishing in a Next.js frontend
• render WordPress Gutenberg blocks as React components
• resolve WordPress content to Next.js templates automatically
• fetch WordPress data via WPGraphQL in a React app

When to choose

• you want a decoupled WordPress frontend built on Next.js and React
• you need WordPress authentication, previews, and template hierarchy out of the box
• your team wants block editor content rendered in a React app

When to avoid

• your site is a traditional PHP WordPress theme
• you use a different frontend stack than Next.js/React
• you need a headless CMS other than WordPress
