3. Open the code and start customizing!

Start the site by running npm run develop.

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

If you want to learn more about how you can use a Gatsby starter that is configured with a Gatsby theme, you can check out this shorter or longer tutorial. The tutorials don't exactly apply to this starter however the concepts are the same.

📝 Using and modifying this starter

Important Note: Please read the guide Shadowing in Gatsby Themes to understand how to customize the underlying theme!

This starter creates a new Gatsby site that installs and configures the theme @lekoarts/gatsby-theme-jodie.

Have a look at the theme's README and files to see what options are available and how you can shadow the various components including Theme UI. Generally speaking you will want to place your files into src/@lekoarts/gatsby-theme-jodie/ to shadow/override files. The Theme UI config can be configured by shadowing its files in src/gatsby-plugin-theme-ui/.

Customizing the homepage

Both your projects and pages are displayed on the homepage (located at / in the live project and src/components/homepage.tsx in the theme itself). Of course, you can always shadow this and other files to customize the theme to your liking.

However, before completely overriding the homepage you should consider the three available options:

1. homepagePageLimit
2. homepageProjectLimit
3. Shadowing modify-grid.ts

The options 1) and 2) are explained in the theme options -- they limit the number of projects and pages that will randomly be distributed on the page.

Option 3) is a really powerful one! The modifyGrid function is wrapping the entire array of projects & pages before passing it to the render function of the React component. Or in other words: As the name suggests you can modify the items that are passed to the grid on the homepage.

You can achieve this by shadowing modify-grid.ts: Create a file at src/@lekoarts/gatsby-theme-jodie/utils/modify-grid.js and define a default export for modifyGrid.

modifyGrid examples

All code snippets are placed inside src/@lekoarts/gatsby-theme-jodie/utils/modify-grid.js

Default behavior:

const modifyGrid = (data) => data;

export default modifyGrid;

I've also created some resolver templates that you can use. They are exported in resolver-templates.ts. They cover the most common use cases and can give you an idea on what to do with the resolver.

Only pages / Only projects:

import {
  onlyPages,
  onlyProjects,
} from "@lekoarts/gatsby-theme-jodie/src/utils/resolver-templates";

const modifyGrid = (data) => onlyPages(data);
// const modifyGrid = (data) => onlyProjects(data)

export default modifyGrid;

Filter by slug:

import { filterBySlug } from "@lekoarts/gatsby-theme-jodie/src/utils/resolver-templates";

const modifyGrid = (data) => filterBySlug(data, ["/about"]);

export default modifyGrid;

Shuffle:

import { shuffle } from "@lekoarts/gatsby-theme-jodie/src/utils/resolver-templates";

const modifyGrid = (data) => shuffle(data);

export default modifyGrid;

Change your static folder

The static folder contains the icons, social media images and robots.txt. Don't forget to change these files, too! You can use Real Favicon Generator to generate the image files inside static.
