Research: Next Generation of a Headless Client - Working Prototype , Conceptual Architecture, cli considerations

[josephfusco]

Research and prototype a headless http client. The goal is to find a solution that fits with multiple headless architectures.

Okay, notes on what a headless client could need to do.

1. This is fundamentally a GraphQL client.
   1. Make GraphQL Queries
   2. Support for Persisted Queries
      • Persisted queries at build (webpack/vite integration) vs runtime persisted queries are more straight forward
   3. Extensible to support things like https://www.leefroese.com/blog/headless-wordpress-gravity-forms-uploads
2. Support TS for writing queries and typing responses (possibly highly dependent on meta-framework)
3. Support Authentication (multiple types)
   • Oauth
   • Token
   • Basic Auth
   • etc...
4. support muliple endpoints for multisite and other GraphQL APIs
