Here's a description of all the changes.

Added several predefined Persisted Queries

The following Persisted Queries, to execute common admin tasks, are now provided:

Translate content from URL

Given a URL as input, its language, and what language to translate it to, this query fetches the content from the URL and performs the translation using Google Translate:

query TranslateContent(
  $url: URL!
  $fromLang: String!
  $toLang: String!
) {
  _sendHTTPRequest(input: {
    url: $url,
    method: GET
  }) {
    body
    translated: body @strTranslate(
      from: $fromLang
      to: $toLang
    )
  }
}

For instance, passing the URL of some Markdown file in a GitHub repo, and language code "es":

{
  "url": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GatoGraphQL/GatoGraphQL/c870d8906ae1aec3c81acc039c53acc7aab5dff0/layers/GatoGraphQLForWP/plugins/gatographql/docs/modules/single-endpoint/en.md",
  "fromLang": "en",
  "toLang": "es"
}

...will translate the Markdown content to Spanish:

{
  "data": {
    "_sendHTTPRequest": {
      "body": "# Single Endpoint\n\nExecute queries against the GraphQL server through the public single endpoint.\n\nBy default the endpoint is `/graphql/`, and the path can be configured through the Settings.\n\n![Single endpoint in Settings](/assets/guides/upstream/settings-single-endpoint.png \"Single endpoint in Settings\")\n\nThe GraphQL single endpoint can be configured by assigning a Schema Configuration to it.

      "translated": "# Punto final único\n\nEjecute consultas en el servidor GraphQL a través del punto final único público.\n\nDe forma predeterminada, el punto final es `/graphql/` y la ruta se puede configurar a través de Configuración.\n\n![Punto final único en Configuración](/assets/guides/upstream/settings-single-endpoint.png \"Punto final único en Configuración\")\n\nEl punto final único GraphQL se puede configurar asignándole una configuración de esquema.

    }
  }
}

It has been added to the Recipes section too, under "Translating content from URL".

Translate post (Classic editor), and Translate posts (Classic editor)

There already were persisted queries "Translate post" and "Translate posts" (in bulk), which deal with translating all the properties inside the Gutenberg blocks in the post.

These have been duly renamed as "Translate post (Gutenberg)" and "Translate posts (Gutenberg)", and new persisted queries have been added to translate content for the Classic editor:

  • Translate post (Classic editor): Translate a single post
  • Translate posts (Classic editor): Translate multiple posts, in bulk

All these queries translate content by calling the Google Translate API, sending all the data within a single request.

Then, if using query "Translate posts (Classic editor)" to translate 5 posts, all data (title, content and excerpt) for all 5 posts is sent all together, providing a rich context that produces a greater accuracy in the translation.

For instance, after translating this post from English to Chinese:

Post in English
Post in English

...it became this:

Post translated to Chinese
Post translated to Chinese

Import post from WordPress RSS feed

Point to the WordPress RSS feed for a post, and create a new post with its data.

For instance, the query will parse the following RSS feed for a single post (normally accessible under https://mysite.com/post-slug/feed/rss/?withoutcomments=1):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rss version="2.0"
  xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"

Import posts from CSV

Provide a CSV to creates posts with the corresponding data for each entry (the title, excerpt, content, and author).

For instance, the CSV below will create 3 posts:

Title,Excerpt,Content,Author
Multi-channelled optimal interface,Inventore iste velit et expedita ipsa dolor,"<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Inventore iste velit et expedita ipsa dolor. Optio suscipit qui id harum corporis dignissimos.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Et aut fuga aliquam consequuntur dolore sunt ut ut. Quibusdam in voluptas vitae quia eaque. Eligendi dolorum dolorem vitae et vitae et ut.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->",admin

After executing the query, we get the results:

Fetch post links

Find all links in all posts (by searching for all <a href="(...)">(...)</a> strings), and list them down in the response as a JSON object, with properties { href: (...), text: (...) }.

For instance, it may produce this response:

{
  "data": {
    "posts": [
      {
        "id": 1435,
        "title": "Citations from famous authors",
        "links": [
          {
            "href": "https://www.azquotes.com/author/4085-Fyodor_Dostoevsky",
            "text": "Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky"
          },
          {
            "href": "https://www.azquotes.com/author/14706-Leo_Tolstoy",
            "text": "Quote by Leon Tolstoi"
          },
          {
            "href": "https://www.azquotes.com/author/15138-Voltaire",
            "text": "Quote by Voltaire"
          }
        ]
      },
      {
        "id": 1,
        "title": "Hello world!",
        "links": []
      }
    ]
  }
}

Added XML scalar type

We can now input XML strings via the new XML scalar type, which will validate the correctness of the XML string.

For instance, this query:

{
  _strDecodeXMLAsJSON(xml: """<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <body>
    <message>Hello world!</message>
  </body>
  """)
}

...will produce:

{
  "data": {
    "_strDecodeXMLAsJSON": {
      "message": "Hello world!"
    }
  }
}

Whereas this query:

{
  _strDecodeXMLAsJSON(xml: """<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <body>
    <message>Hello world!</message>
  """)
}

...will produce:

{
  "errors": [
    {
      "message": "Cannot cast value '<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n  <body>\n  <message>Hello world!<\/message>\n  ' for type 'XML'",
      "locations": [
        {
          "line": 2,
          "column": 31
        }
      ],
      "extensions": {
        "field": "_strDecodeXMLAsJSON(xml: \"<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n  <body>\n  <message>Hello world!<\/message>\n  \")",
        "problems": [
          "Premature end of data in tag body line 2\n"
        ]
      }
    }
  ],
  "data": {
    "_strDecodeXMLAsJSON": null
  }
}

Improved documentation

Fixed

  • In predefined persisted queries "Translate post" and "Translate posts", added failIfNonExistingKeyOrPath: false when selecting a block's attributes.{something} property (as it may sometimes not be defined)
  • In predefined persisted query "Import post from WordPress site", added status any to select the post
  • Renamed persisted query "Translate post" to "Translate post (Gutenberg)", and "Translate posts" to "Translate posts (Gutenberg)"
