Is Strapi Ready? is a community status website that tracks the development progress of the newest Strapi version (currently v4) and catalogs whether the ecosystem's plugins are compatible with it. The site displays an advancement percentage and a plugin compatibility list, each plugin tagged with a status: UNKNOWN, WIP, READY, or UNSUPPORTED. It runs on Nuxt and is open source under the MIT license, with the repository hosted on GitHub and deployed on Netlify.
What is Is Strapi Ready?
Is Strapi Ready? is a web tool that reports how far along the next major Strapi release is and which community plugins already support it. It takes plugin compatibility statuses — which the Strapi team and project contributors review — and presents them in a single public list. The project is built with Nuxt, styled with SCSS, and hosted at isstrapiready.com, with source code available under an MIT license.
Key Features
- Advancement percentage — A prominent percentage shows the completion level of the newest Strapi version, giving users a quick read on release readiness.
- Plugin compatibility list — Every submitted plugin gets a status label (UNKNOWN, WIP, READY, UNSUPPORTED) so developers know at a glance whether they can use it.
- Community submissions — Plugin authors can add their plugin to the list by opening a GitHub issue using the dedicated plugin-request template linked from the readme.
- Strapi team involvement — Status reviews involve the Strapi Team and project contributors, adding credibility to the compatibility data.
- Open source and MIT licensed — The project's source is available on GitHub, so anyone can inspect the code or deploy their own instance.
Who is it for?
- Strapi developers — Check whether a plugin they depend on is READY for the new Strapi version before upgrading their projects.
- Plugin authors — Use the status system to signal when their plugin is in progress (WIP) or fully compatible (READY), and accept community testing feedback.
- Technical decision-makers — Monitor the advancement percentage and compatibility list to decide when to plan a migration to Strapi v4.
What can you do with Is Strapi Ready?
- Assess upgrade risk — Search the plugin list to see if critical plugins have UNSUPPORTED or UNKNOWN status before adopting the new Strapi version.
- Track release progress — Watch the advancement percentage over time to estimate when Strapi v4 becomes stable enough for production use.
- Contribute to the ecosystem — Submit your own plugin or update an existing plugin's status by opening an issue on the project's GitHub repo.
FAQ
Is Is Strapi Ready? free to use?
Yes. The website is publicly accessible without payment, and the source code is released under the MIT License, so you can even self-host it if you need your own instance.
How can I add my plugin to the compatibility list?
Open a new issue on the isstrapiready GitHub repository using the plugin-request template. Provide your plugin's details, and the maintainers or Strapi team will review and assign a status (UNKNOWN, WIP, READY, or UNSUPPORTED).
What does the UNKNOWN status mean?
UNKNOWN means the maintainers don't yet know whether the plugin is compatible with the new Strapi version. The status becomes WIP when the author starts migrating and READY once it's confirmed working.
Who reviews the plugin statuses?
The Strapi Team and the project's contributors are involved in reviewing plugin compatibility. This means the statuses are not purely community-driven but are intentionally checked.
What happens if a plugin is marked UNSUPPORTED?
UNSUPPORTED means the plugin will not be updated for the new Strapi version, so you should look for an alternative or plan to build your own replacement before migrating.
