# Faust.js Headless WordPress Toolkit for Next.js

Faust.js by WP Engine is a JavaScript framework and WordPress plugin that streamlines building headless WordPress sites with Next.js. It handles data fetching via WPGraphQL, authentication, content previews, and server-side rendering, providing a production-ready bridge between WordPress as a CMS and React-based frontends.

## Installation

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- Node.js v18 or newer. npm v8 or newer.

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- [Getting started with Next.js](https://faustjs.org/docs/getting-started)
- There are two key parts to Faust.js: the NPM packages and the WordPress plugin. To take full advantage of headless, you will need to install the plugin in addition to the npm packages.
