It's a customized version of gatsby-contentful-starter that is including the following changes:
- Gatsby v2 (base repo was at v1 - so I migrated it, would be not needed with contentful-userland starter)
- Modified routing to blog.alexanderwolf.tech/{$slug} from /blog/{$slug}
- Prettier with Husky in pre-commit hook
- Eslint
- Customized styling & changed everything to styled-components
- Deployed to Netlify with continous deployment (devel & master branch)
- Preview API for devServer
- Disqus for commenting
- React-Share for social sharing
- Syntax highlighting with gatsby-remark-prsimjs
- Reading time estimation with gatsby-remark-readingtime
You can find more details about how I created the setup in this post.
You can find a live version of the code on blog.alexanderwolf.tech
- Add a logo/header that's available on each post
- Use PreviewAPI on Netlify devel deployment - not working yet
- Check codesandbox embeds
- Check routing as static pages are difficult to add (e.g. /privacy)
Create a Gatsby blog powered by Contentful. This is a simplified version of the Gatsby Contentful Starter which is maintained by our Community.
Static sites are scalable, secure and have very little required maintenance. They come with a drawback though. Not everybody feels good editing files, building a project and uploading it somewhere. This is where Contentful comes into play.
With Contentful and Gatsby you can connect your favorite static site generator with an API that provides an easy to use interface for people writing content and automate the publishing using services like Travis CI or Netlify.
- Simple content model and structure. Easy to adjust to your needs.
- Use the synchronization feature of our Delivery API.
- Responsive/adaptive images via gatsby-image and our Images API.
See our official Contentful getting started guide.
Run the project locally with live reload in development mode.
Run a production build into ./public. The result is ready to be put on any static hosting you prefer.
Spin up a production-ready server with your blog. Don't forget to build your page beforehand.
See the official Contentful getting started guide.
