ReactPress headless REST API — NestJS backend for the publishing platform.

Deprecated — from ReactPress 3.1 onward, the API ships inside @fecommunity/reactpress (CLI). New projects should run npx @fecommunity/reactpress init instead of installing this package standalone.

This package remains available for legacy deployments and direct API integration. It powers themes, Admin, and desktop clients through @fecommunity/reactpress-toolkit.

npx @fecommunity/reactpress-server
# production with PM2
npx @fecommunity/reactpress-server --pm2

On first run, the install wizard opens in your browser, creates configuration, and starts the API at http://localhost:3002 (Swagger: /api).

• REST API for content, media, comments, search, and site settings
• Plugin hook runtime and theme catalog integration (ReactPress 4.0)
• JWT auth, rate limiting, validation, and Swagger documentation
• MySQL (default) or SQLite (desktop / local mode)
• PM2 support for production

• Node.js >= 20
• MySQL 8.0+ (production) or SQLite (local/desktop)
• npm or pnpm

git clone https://github.com/fecommunity/reactpress.git
cd reactpress
pnpm install
pnpm run --dir server dev

The install wizard generates .env. Key variables:

import { api } from '@fecommunity/reactpress-toolkit';

const articles = await api.article.findAll();

OpenAPI spec from this server drives toolkit code generation (pnpm run --dir toolkit generate).
