Subject: [PATCH] Image Tutorial (#5236)
* Image Tutorial
Would be nice to add a screenshot of the finished result.
Eventually, a really cool image tutorial could include GIFs.
* Remove unneeded backticks around code
* Add example gif
* Fix image links
* added Gatsbygram link, fixed assumption spelling
* we --> you
* Added some more edits of my own
wasn't sure whether you wanted lines 153-155 to stay the same
* Changed back to previous lines 149-159
I accidentally deleted necessary stuff in my previous commit, so I'm just starting over
* Edited comments per Mike's suggestions
* Small tweaks

+## The Gatsby Way™ of rendering images
+
+Using images pulled from a WordPress demo CMS
+
+### What this tutorial covers:
+
+In this tutorial, you will install the several image plugins and components in order to pull image data from a WordPress account into your Gatsby site and render that data. This [Gatsby + Wordpress demo site]{https://using-wordpress.gatsbyjs.org/sample-post-1) shows you a sample of what you’re going to be building in this tutorial, although in this tutorial you’ll just focus on adding images.
+
+### Why go through this tutorial?
+
+Images are one of the most beautiful and striking ways to communicate to people, and are a key part of creating an effective and positive user experience; at the same time, high quality images can load slowly and cause text boxes to jump around, both of which make it difficult for people to be patient with visiting your website.
+
+The Gatsby Way™ of creating images is a phrase we made up to describe a set of best practices that help you optimize performance and responsiveness of images. This [Gatsbygram site](https://gatsbygram.gatsbyjs.org/) (an Instagram feed fed through Gatsby) shows off the svg image tracing effect. Here’s an [image processing demo site](https://image-processing.gatsbyjs.org/) exploring how to have fun with images in your Gatsby site.
+
+### Installing the `gatsby-source-wordpress` plugin
+
+First you’ll need to install the `gatsby-source-wordpress` plugin that has images ready for you to pull into your site.
+
+Create a new Gatsby project and change directories into the new project you just created:
+```shell
+gatsby new images-tutorial-site
+cd images-tutorial-site
+```
+
+Install the `gatsby-source-wordpress` plugin. For extra reading on the plugin’s features and examples of GraphQL queries not included in this tutorial, see the [`gatsby-source-wordpress` plugin’s READme file](https://www.gatsbyjs.org/packages/gatsby-source-wordpress/?=wordpress).
+
+```shell
+npm install --save gatsby-source-wordpress
+```
+
+Add the `gatsby-source-wordpress` plugin to `gatsby-config.js` using the following code, which you can also find in the [demo site’s source code](https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/blob/master/examples/using-wordpress/gatsby-config.js).
+
+```javascript{32-58}
+ module.exports = {
+ siteMetadata: {
+ title: 'Gatsby Wordpress Tutorial',
+ },
+ plugins: [
+ // https://public-api.wordpress.com/wp/v2/sites/gatsbyjsexamplewordpress.wordpress.com/pages/
+ /*
+ * Gatsby's data processing layer begins with “source”
+ * plugins. Here the site sources its data from Wordpress.
+ */
+ {
+ resolve: `gatsby-source-wordpress`,
+ options: {
+ /*
+ * The base URL of the Wordpress site without the trailingslash and the protocol. This is required.
+ * Example : 'gatsbyjswpexample.wordpress.com' or 'www.example-site.com'
+ */
+ baseUrl: `dev-gatbsyjswp.pantheonsite.io`,
+ // The protocol. This can be http or https.
+ protocol: `http`,
+ // Indicates whether the site is hosted on wordpress.com.
+ // If false, then the assumption is made that the site is self hosted.
+ // If true, then the plugin will source its content on wordpress.com using the JSON REST API V2.
+ // If your site is hosted on wordpress.org, then set this to false.
+ hostingWPCOM: false,
+ // If useACF is true, then the source plugin will try to import the Wordpress ACF Plugin contents.
+ // This feature is untested for sites hosted on Wordpress.com
+ useACF: true,
+ },
+ },
+ ],
+}
+```
+
+### Installing plugins to help with images
+Now you’ll configure gatsby-source-filesystem to load the image directory, add a GraphQL query to a page, add an image to the page, and then view the result in the browser.
+First, you’ll need to install a few plugins and their dependencies:
+
+```shell
+npm install --save gatsby-transformer-sharp gatsby-plugin-sharp gatsby-image gatsby-source-filesystem
+```
+
+Place these plugins in your `gatsby-config.js` like this:
+
+```javascript{112-121}
+module.exports = {
+ siteMetadata: {
+ title: 'Gatsby Wordpress Tutorial',
+ },
+ plugins: [
+ // https://public-api.wordpress.com/wp/v2/sites/gatsbyjsexamplewordpress.wordpress.com/pages/
+ /*
+ * Gatsby's data processing layer begins with “source”
+ * plugins. Here the site sources its data from Wordpress.
+ */
+ {
+ resolve: `gatsby-source-wordpress`,
+ options: {
+ /*
+ * The base URL of the Wordpress site without the trailing slash and the protocol. This is required.
+ * Example : 'gatsbyjswpexample.wordpress.com' or 'www.example-site.com'
+ */
+ baseUrl: `dev-gatbsyjswp.pantheonsite.io`,
+ // The protocol. This can be http or https.
+ protocol: `http`,
+ // Indicates whether the site is hosted on wordpress.com.
+ // If false, then the asumption is made that the site is self hosted.
+ // If true, then the plugin will source its content on wordpress.com using the JSON REST API V2.
+ // If your site is hosted on wordpress.org, then set this to false.
+ hostingWPCOM: false,
+ // If useACF is true, then the source plugin will try to import the Wordpress ACF Plugin contents.
+ // This feature is untested for sites hosted on Wordpress.com
+ useACF: true,
+ },
+ },
+ 'gatsby-plugin-react-helmet',
+ 'gatsby-transformer-sharp',
+ 'gatsby-plugin-sharp',
+ {
+ resolve: `gatsby-source-filesystem`,
+ options: {
+ name: `images`,
+ path: `${__dirname}/src/images/`,
+ },
+ },
+ ],
+}
+```
+
+### Creating GraphQL queries that pull in images from WordPress
+
+Now you are ready to create a GraphQL query to pull in some images from the WordPress site.
+
+Run:
+
+```shell
+gatsby develop
+```
+
+Open localhost:8000 and localhost:8000/__graphql.
+
+Here’s an example of creating specific widths and heights for images:
+
+```jsx
+{
+ allWordpressPost {
+ edges {
+ node {
+ childWordPressAcfPostPhoto {
+ photo {
+ localFile {
+ childImageSharp {
+ # Try editing the "width" and "height" values.
+ resolutions(width: 200, height: 200) {
+ # In the GraphQL explorer, use field names
+ # like "src". In your site's code, remove them
+ # and use the fragments provided by Gatsby.
+ src
+
+ # This fragment won't work in the GraphQL
+ # explorer, but you can use it in your site.
+ # ...GatsbyImageSharpResolutions_withWebp
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ }
+}
+```
+
+
+Here’s an example query for generating different sizes of an image:
+
+```jsx
+{
+ allWordpressPost {
+ edges {
+ node {
+ childWordPressAcfPostPhoto {
+ photo {
+ localFile {
+ childImageSharp {
+ # Try editing the "maxWidth" value to generate resized images.
+ sizes(maxWidth: 500) {
+ # In the GraphQL explorer, use field names
+ # like "src". In your site's code, remove them
+ # and use the fragments provided by Gatsby.
+ src
+
+ # This fragment won't work in the GraphQL
+ # explorer, but you can use it in your site
+ # ...GatsbyImageSharpSizes_withWebp
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ }
+}
+```
+
+In either case, you can add traced SVG support by adding `_tracedSVG` to the end of each fragment. _Note this won’t work in the GraphQL explorer._
+
+### Rendering the images to `index.js`
+
+Here is what your `index.js` should look like with the query added:
+
+```jsx
+import React from 'react'
+import Link from 'gatsby-link'
+import Img from 'gatsby-image'
+
+const IndexPage = ({ data }) => {
+ const imagesResolutions = data.allWordpressPost.edges.map(
+ edge =>
+ edge.node.childWordPressAcfPostPhoto.photo.localFile.childImageSharp
+ .resolutions
+ )
+ return (
+
+
Hi people
+
Welcome to your new Gatsby site.
+
Now go build something great.
+ {imagesResolutions.map(imageRes => (
+
+ ))}
+ Go to page 2
+
