Apollo Client Basics

Faust.js uses @apollo/client under the hood to perform GraphQL operations against your WordPress backend. Having a solid understanding of Apollo Client queries, fragments, and mutations will help you get the most out of Faust.js.

Apollo Client GraphQL Concepts

Below are core concepts for Apollo and GraphQL with links to the docs for your reference.

• Queries – Retrieve data from your WordPress site.
• Fragments – Modularize your queries to make them more maintainable.
• Mutations – Update data in your WordPress backend.
• Apollo Client Cache – Cache responses to minimize network usage.

Faust.js-Specific Notes

• You don’t need to create or configure the client object yourself; Faust handles that for you.
• You can still customize the underlying Apollo Client via plugin filters if you need advanced configuration.
