I have a wordpress website using Elementor plugin. There is a plan to move towards a more dynamic interactive frontend using React/Vue. Although I have a decent grasp on the frontend frameworks, I don’t have the same experience dealing with WordPress stuffs.
- What are the ways to pull UI related data (not posts or pages information only, need interface design/structure/style etc. information) that will allow us to switch to React/Vue without breaking the site?
- If we don’t change the plugin/theme, would it be possible to keep both the WordPress UI and React/Vue UI in sync?
- Am I correct in insinuating that if we were to change/add themes/plugins, synchronizing with React/Vue becomes impossible (or near impossible) to attain (unless we revamp the code)?
I have tried to research on WordPress REST APIs as I continued to get more acquainted with the wordpress themes and plugins. I also attempted to search the answers to my questions exploring stackoverflow as well, but I think I need a more specific answer without investing severe amount of time!
