• Fill the document (or folder) description field in Google Drive with a YAML object

locale: fr
template: post
category: Category Name
tags: [tag1, tag2]
slug: /custom-slug
date: 2019-01-01

• Spread metadata into the tree using folders metadata.

> ⬆️ For the tree example above: > > - Every node will have template: page defined as default excepts if you redefine it later. > - You need to create 3 different templates: page (default), home, post. Checkout the example template

• Exclude folders and documents using exclude: true. Perfect to keep drafts documents. One you want to publish a page, juste move the document one level up.

> ⬆️ For the tree example above: > > - Documents under Drafts will be exclude because of exclude: true.

• Every metadata will be available in GoogleDocs nodes and you can use everywhere in you Gatsby site

Add an image in your Google Document first page header

slug and breadcrumb fields add automatically generated using the folders tree structure and transformed using kebab-case.

> ⬆️ For the tree example above: > The GoogleDocs node for document My year 2020 > > js > { > path: "/en/posts/my-year-2020" // Original Google Drive path > slug: "/posts/my-year-2020" // `en` is out because of `skip: true` > breadcrumb: [ > {name: "Posts", slug: "/posts"}, > {name: "My year 2020", slug: "/posts/my-year-2020"}, > ], > template: "post" ,// src/templates/post.js > locale: "fr", > date: "2021-01-01" // Fixed date ! > } > > > The GoogleDocs node for document Post 2 will have a custom slug > > js > { > path: "/en/posts/post-2" > slug: "/custom/slug" > breadcrumb: [ > {name: "Posts", slug: "/posts"}, > {name: "Post 2", slug: "/custom/slug"}, > ], > template: "special-post", // src/templates/special-post.js > locale: "en", > date: "2020-09-12" // Google Drive document creation date > } >

You also can add metadata (locale, date, template, ...) to your documents.

gatsby-plugin-sharp, gatsby-transformer-sharp and gatsby-remark-images are required if you want to take advantage of gatsby-image blur-up technique.

yarn add gatsby-plugin-sharp gatsby-transformer-sharp gatsby-remark-images

module.exports = {
    plugins: [
        "gatsby-source-google-docs",
        "gatsby-plugin-sharp",
        "gatsby-transformer-sharp",
        {
            resolve: "gatsby-transformer-remark",
            options: {
                plugins: ["gatsby-remark-images"],
            },
        },
    ],
}

Use Code Blocks Google Docs extension to format your code blocks.

To specify the lang, you need to add a fist line in your code block following the format lang:javascript.

To get Syntax highlighting, I recommend using prismjs but it's not mandatory.

yarn add gatsby-remark-prismjs prismjs

Add the gatsby-remark-prismjs plugin to your gatsby-config.js

module.exports = {
    plugins: [
        "gatsby-source-google-docs",
        {
            resolve: "gatsby-transformer-remark",
            options: {
                plugins: ["gatsby-remark-prismjs"],
            },
        },
    ],
}

Import a prismjs theme in your gatsby-browser.js

require("prismjs/themes/prism.css")

If you prefer to create pages manualy, checkout the createPages API et adapt it to your needs.
