Gatsby Starter with Stytch

Overview

This starter creates a simple site with passwordless authentication, provided by Stytch. Users can sign up and log in with just an email address - no password needed!

Note: this starter uses Gatsby Cloud for an easy backend function to call the Stytch API. This function could be moved to a custom backend if you have or need one. See src/api/authenticate.js.

🚀 Quick start

1. Create a Gatsby site.

   Use the Gatsby CLI to create a new site, specifying the minimal starter.

   # create a new Gatsby site using this starter
   gatsby new my-gatsby-site [https://github.com/kinsona/gatsby-starter-stytch]

2. Sign up for Stytch and configure your new project

   Create a .env.development file, using .env_sample as a template.

   Copy the variables for your project out of the API Keys section of the Stytch dashboard:

   • STYTCH_PROJECT_ID
   • STYTCH_PUBLIC_TOKEN
   • STYTCH_SECRET

3. Start developing.

   Navigate into your new site’s directory and start it up.

   cd my-gatsby-site/
   npm run develop

4. Open the code and start customizing!

   Your site is now running at http://localhost:8000!

   Edit files in src/pages to see your site update in real-time! Logged-in users will see src/pages/index.js, while guests will see src/pages/login.js.
