beleyBlog

The non-content portion for my blog at https://ChrisBeley.com

Instead of utilizing a Gatsby starter project, this blog was started from scratch. I may write a blog series on it one day, but you can see some the initial stages of implementing it at https://github.com/cbeley/gatsby-blog-from-scratch-stages.

A few random curiosities about how this blog is set-up:

• A custom, fully mobile-optimized design.
• CSS modules only.
• classnames library for joining CSS classes.
• MDX for posts.
• Dynamic category generation (See gatsby-node.js).
• Draft flag support (See gatsby-node.js).
• Separation of GraphQL fragments into src/gqlFragments.
• Dockerized deployment (See Dockerfile and package.json)
• Automatic code style enforcement/error checking:
  • eslint (with modified Airbnb rules)
  • prettier
• Content separated from this repo and pulled in at deploy time. (The content repo is private.)
• Fully automatic deployments upon new content merges. Unfortunately, I choose to not make this public, but maybe I'll write more about it later. Infrastructure is all self-hosted with the exception of Github actions.
