BDT Playground

A place for me to play around without having to worry about multiple repositories and versioning. If I get the urge to play with something new technically (or something not that new - WordPress, I'm looking at you 👀), it lives here until I get bored and delete it.

I try to build using decent (not best) practices - testing, not storing credentials, etc. Any artefacts it produces generally live at playground.breakfastdinnertea.co.uk.

Features/technology I've been playing with

• TypeScript - the predominant language I use.
• Wordpress - the main intermediary store for most of this data. bdt-customisations is where the tweaks I've made live.
• GraphQL - the main method of exposing wordpress data to the outside world.
• AWS CDK - for orchestrating quick/dirty serverless functions. The CDK CLI is a devDependency of bdt-cdk; run it via pnpm --filter @tdee/bdt-cdk exec cdk <command> (e.g. synth, deploy).
• AstroJS - powerful little static site generator to publish the main website.
