Gatsby + Netlify CMS Starter + Typescript + Styled Component

I found myself always adding this things so I forked this very good project and I will try to keep it up with the original

Todo

• Remove sass and bulma and go 100% styled components

Note: This starter uses Gatsby v2.

This repo contains an example business website that is built with Gatsby, and Netlify CMS: Demo Link.

It follows the JAMstack architecture by using Git as a single source of truth, and Netlify for continuous deployment, and CDN distribution.

Features

• A simple landing page with blog functionality built with Netlify CMS
• Editabe Pages: Landing, About, Product, Blog-Collection and Contact page with Netlify Form support
• Create Blog posts from Netlify CMS
• Tags: Separate page for posts under each tag
• Basic directory organization
• Uses Bulma for styling, but size is reduced by purge-css-plugin
• Blazing fast loading times thanks to pre-rendered HTML and automatic chunk loading of JS files
• Uses gatbsy-image with Netlify-CMS preview support
• Separate components for everything
• Netlify deploy configuration
• Netlify function support, see src/lambda folder
• Perfect score on Lighthouse for SEO, Accessibility and Performance (wip:PWA)
• ..and more

Prerequisites

• Node (I recommend using v8.2.0 or higher)
• Gatsby CLI

Getting Started (Recommended)

Netlify CMS can run in any frontend web environment, but the quickest way to try it out is by running it on a pre-configured starter site with Netlify. The example here is the Kaldi coffee company template (adapted from One Click Hugo CMS). Use the button below to build and deploy your own copy of the repository:

After clicking that button, you’ll authenticate with GitHub and choose a repository name. Netlify will then automatically create a repository in your GitHub account with a copy of the files from the template. Next, it will build and deploy the new site on Netlify, bringing you to the site dashboard when the build is complete. Next, you’ll need to set up Netlify’s Identity service to authorize users to log in to the CMS.

Access Locally

$ git clone https://github.com/[GITHUB_USERNAME]/[REPO_NAME].git
$ cd [REPO_NAME]
$ yarn
$ npm run start

To test the CMS locally, you'll need run a production build of the site:

$ npm run build
$ npm run serve

Getting Started (Without Netlify)

$ gatsby new [SITE_DIRECTORY_NAME] https://github.com/netlify-templates/gatsby-starter-netlify-cms/
$ cd [SITE_DIRECTORY_NAME]
$ npm run build
$ npm run serve

Setting up the CMS

Follow the Netlify CMS Quick Start Guide to set up authentication, and hosting.

Debugging

Windows users might encounter node-gyp errors when trying to npm install. To resolve, make sure that you have both Python 2.7 and the Visual C++ build environment installed.

npm config set python python2.7
npm install --global --production windows-build-tools

Purgecss

This plugin uses gatsby-plugin-purgecss and bulma. The bulma builds are usually ~170K but reduced 90% by purgecss.
