The initial integration for WPGraphQL has been merged into Pods 2.9 from the WPGraphQL Integration Add-On for Pods Pro by SKCDEV. The Add-On itself will continue to be developed with new features that are focused on Advanced Content Types and other enhancements in the future that will still remain outside of Pods core.

Requirements
Requires WPGraphQL 1.1.3+ in order to show any of the WPGraphQL settings for Pods, Fields, or the Pods Settings page.
Demo video
The below video provides a great overview of the WPGraphQL integration and what it does. It talks about the Add-On from Pods Pro by SKCDEV but the same thing applies to the integration now in Pods core (since Pods 2.9).
What does this integration do?
This integration provides context to the WPGraphQL plugin so that it can become aware of certain Pods-created Content Types and Custom Fields created with Pods.
Supported Content Types in Pods
- Post Types
- Taxonomies
- Users
- Media
- Comment
Getting started
Turn on the “Enable support in WPGraphQL” from the Edit Pod screen under the “WPGraphQL” tab.
Custom WPGraphQL names
You can define custom names to use in WPGraphQL instead of the plural/singular name you may already be using. It should be in the camelCase format with no special characters. These will be used to refer to the post type inside of GraphQL queries.
Relationship / File Formats
There are a few options available for each Relationship and File field. You can specify in the pod settings what to use for all of them or rely on per-field settings.
- Use per-field setting
- Connection (you can drill down through GraphQL to get whatever field(s) you would like!)
- ID only
- Title only
- View (or Asset) URL only
Field options
You can customize per-field how they will work with WPGraphQL.
