sn-blog-gatsby

This example demonstrates how to create an app with sensenet and Gatsby using sensenet source plugin. It's a good starter for building a blog sourcing data from sensenet.

Quick start

gatsby new sensenet-starter https://github.com/SenseNet/gatsby-starter-sensenet-blog

Start developing. Navigate into your new site’s directory and start it up.

cd sensenet-starter
gatsby develop

Features

• A simple blog built with sensenet
• Uses typescript
• Uses gatsby-plugin-material-ui for styling
• Uses prismjs for code highlighting
• Uses date-fns for date formatting
• Uses gatsby-plugin-mdx to process mdx
• Uses gatsby-plugin-image for image rendering

Configuration

You have to add urls of your sensenet repository and identity server to configuration.js:

exports.repositoryUrl = '<YOUR REPOSITORY URL>'

exports.configuration = {
  clientId: process.env.GATSBY_REACT_APP_CLIENT_ID || '',
  clientSecret: process.env.GATSBY_REACT_APP_CLIENT_SECRET || '',
  identityServerUrl: '<YOUR IDENTITY SERVER URL>',
}

GATSBY_REACT_APP_CLIENT_ID and GATSBY_REACT_APP_CLIENT_SECRET environmental variables should be defined.

You can easily store them in .env files by doing the following:

// In your .env file
GATSBY_REACT_APP_CLIENT_ID=<YOUR CLIENT ID>
GATSBY_REACT_APP_CLIENT_SECRET=<YOUR SECRET>

Where can you get the missing information?

There are two ways to get your client_id and client_secret: You can find them on your snaas user profile or on the admin-ui logged-in to the repository as well. Also here can be found the repository url and url of the identity server.

Deployment

See the official connecting to sensenet guide.
