dato.config.js

// Arguments that will receive the mapping function:
//
// * dato: lets you easily access any content stored in your DatoCMS
//   administrative area;
//
// * root: represents the root of your project, and exposes commands to
//   easily create local files/directories;
//
// * i18n: allows to switch the current locale to get back content in
//   alternative locales from the first argument.
//
// Read all the details here:
// https://github.com/datocms/js-datocms-client/blob/master/docs/dato-cli.md
