A prototype theme that uses React and WP-API

Picard

Picard is an experimental prototype WordPress theme that makes use of React and the new WP-API.

Please note, it is STRONGLY recommended that this theme is not used in any production environment. It is purely for educational and testing purposes. This theme is under development so it is not recommended that you rely on any aspect of it.

Installation

1. Install and activate the WP REST API plugin (make sure that you are using the master branch – the default is currently develop).
2. Clone this repo to your computer in the wp-content/themes directory of your WordPress installation (e.g. git clone [e-mail]:Automattic/Picard.git).
3. Run npm install to install the node dependencies.
4. Run gulp build to compile the JavaScript and Sass.
5. Run gulp watch to actively develop the theme and have the styles and JS files automatically update.
6. Set your permlink structure to /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/.

Todos

A not exhaustive list of all things Picard still needs to do:

1. Work with different permalink structures.
2. Allow user to set a static front page.
3. Allow user to use sidebars and widgets.
4. Support all permalinks (archives, search etc)
