@maiertech/gatsby-theme-pages-core

A Gatsby theme to add a Page type to Gatsby sites.

Options

Option	Default	Description
`basePath`	`/`	Basepath for deployments at locations other than root.
`contentPath`	`content/pages`	Location of MDX files with pages. If pages use images, pages can be placed in a sub-directory as `index.mdx` together with its assets.
`fullRelativePath`	`false`	Set to `true` to include full path relative to `contentPath` in path of generated pages.
`mdxOtherwiseConfigured`	`false`	Set this flag true if `gatsby-plugin-mdx` is already configured for your site.

Frontmatter

Key	Required	Description
title	✓	Post title, which will be slugified.
slug		Override slugified title.
description	✓	Description for SEO and previews.
images		Array of images with `src` (relative path to image), optional `title` and mandatory `alt` text. Images can be embedded into MDX.
canonical_url		Canonical URL for SEO.

Schema customization

`Page` interface

Field	Type	Description
id	`ID!`	Gatsby node GUID.
title	`String!`	From frontmatter.
description	`String!`	From frontmatter.
images	`[PageImage!]`	Images that can be embedded into a page.
body	`String!`	MDX body.
path	`String!`	Page path.
canonicalUrl	`String`	Canonical URL for SEO.

Type MdxPage implements Page. If you prefer to use a data source other than MDX files, you can write a child theme that uses the Page interface.

`PageImage` type

Field	Type	Description
src	File!	Relative path to image.
title	String	Image title.
alt	String!	Image alt text.

Images in pages

This theme assumes that you will use gatsby-plugin-image to render images in MDX files. Since StaticImage does not work inside MDX files, you have to declare images in the frontmatter with the images prop.

When you shadow page.js, you need to create an images array with gatsbyImageData objects and provide the images array as prop to MDXRenderer. You can then access and render these images with GatsbyImage inside MDX files. This is not ideal and it is intended as workaround until StaticImage can be used inside MDX files.

The downside of dynamic images is that fragment page-fragment.js contains a hard-wired query for dynamic images as constrained images. Therefore, you cannot modify image options and have to go with what the fragment gives you.
