Hey there! This is a blog I made for an article in progress to be published on the 1st of September 2019 titled "Gatsby+Contentful = Smarter content management". The article explains how to build this blog using Gatsby and Contentful (CMS) so that everytime you want to add an articl to id, you wont have to add a single line of code to your codebase. Check it out! and let me know what you think :D
Say you want to build a blog, or a personal portfolio. Your blog will contain the articles that you continuously publish.
This means that every time you want to add a new article to your blog, you have to get your hands dirty again with the code base. This kind of project is different from the others, since it's a project that never ends, as you have to constantly update it with your newest publications…
Is there a better way to manage the content of your blog without having to code every time?
Content Management Systems (CMS) seemed like the right answer to this question. "Gatsby+Contentful = Smarter content management" will help you, a reader who has a blog or a portfolio or any kind of website, to maintain your app in a smart and easy way forever 🤓
The article explains how to integrate Contentful, a CMS with a blog built with Gatsby, a fast framework based on React. The blog also uses GraphQL to manage the data flow within in.
