There is an example for using faust.js with nextjs, but the solution offered within that repo doesn't add up (and we can't get it to work).

Basically, it says these two things:

• Use an ENV var called FAUST_SECRET_KEY
• Preview links use client access to load preview data

These two things don't add up. The faust.js library seems to try to load data directly from the client package, but it would not have access to the value stored in FAUST_SECRET_KEY because that would be a server only ENV var.

And it doesn't work. Nothing loads through these requests (it does allow them, I guess WP is either not restricting cross site requests, or it properly sets CORS).

Anyone know how this is supposed to work?

Alternatively: If someone can point me at how I might just use the getWordPressProps function or similar to load preview data (I tried doing it in getServerSideProps, but it only seems to load the published version), I could then implement nextjs's preview mode directly, instead of using this one off route. I'd be happy to submit that implementation back to the faust.js repo through a PR - as far as I can tell, the only thing I need is to be able to load a preview document.
