[RFC] External Data (Graph) Sources

Type of Change

• New Feature Request
• Documentation / Website
• Improvement / Suggestion
• Bug
• Other (please clarify below)

Summary

Need to figure out a way to pull in external data at build time and pull it in a build time. First POC should likely be with Wordpress. (Greenwood blog?)

Details

I think it should be pretty straight forward, expose a "Graph" Plugin type that gets read on build to extract the metadata and then just serves the route as any other would?

From there, other plugins could be built around that in follow up PRs, like for WordPress or Sanity support.

I think if we were to get a working example, we could officially consider our project JAMStack friendly, and should probably add that to the README / website home page.

For incoming content / data, not sure if we would want to account for some sort of DOM validation / purification? ex.

Or at least make sure user's can apply it themselves through our plugins.
