🚀 Getting Started

Install theme & dependencies

mkdir my-site
cd my-site
yarn init -2
yarn add gatsby react react-dom @arene/gatsby-theme-intro

Enable theme

Then add the theme to your gatsby-config.js.

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: "@arene/gatsby-theme-intro",
      options: {
        theme: "classic",
        darktheme: "dark-blue",
      },
    },
  ],
}

Run your site

That’s it, you can now run your site using

gatsby develop

This process will create content/ directory within your site with a sample data.

Edit content

You can change the website’s content by editing .yaml files in content/ directory:

`profile.yaml`

Follow existing convention to provide your profile information, skills & tools.

Do not remove existing parameters from the file, as it may break the website.

`projects.yaml`

For each project you can provide:

Parameter	Value	Is required?
name	Name of the project	yes
url	URL of the project	no
description	Project’s description	no
status	Either `in progress` or `live`	no
tags	List of tags	no
icon	Either `github` or `website`	no
image	Path to the image	no

`work-history.yaml`

For each entry you can provide:

Parameter	Value	Is required?
company	Name of the company	yes
period	Start / End date	no
position	Your position at the company	no
url	URL of the company	no

`social.yaml`

List of your social media accounts. Please just fill the url parameter or leave it empty.

Do not add custom items to the list.

Enable email notifications

Contact form is integrated with Formspree. To enable form submissions to your e-mail, please sign up for a Formspree account and create a new form in your dashboard.

Once you do it, you’ll get your unique endpoint - please add it to gatsby-config.js, within a siteMetadata object.

Configuration

Here is the list of configuration options you can set in gatsby-config.js:

module.exports = {
  siteMetadata: {
    description: "Personal page of John Doe",
    title: "John Doe",
    formspreeEndpoint: "https://formspree.io/f/{your-id}",
  },
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: "@arene/gatsby-theme-intro",
      options: {
        basePath: "/",
        contentPath: "content/",
        showThemeLogo: true,
        theme: "classic",
        darktheme: "dark-blue",
        lang: null,
        tailwindConfig: null
      },
    },
  ],
}

After modyfying gatsby-config.js it may be required to restart gatsby develop process.

The siteMetadata section is responsible for SEO settings.
By modifying basePath parameter you can run the website on different URL (e.g. https://mydomain.com/profile). It may be useful when integrating with existing Gatsby site.
By setting showThemeLogo to false you can hide the Intro logo in the footer area.
If provided, the value of lang is added to the <body> element.
Change the theme parameter to load different color variant. Please refer to the list below for available values.
darktheme is an alternative theme, defined in the same way as theme. It is activited using Tailwind CSS’s dark mode machinery.
If provided, tailwindConfig should be an object. Any field it provides will completely overwrite the correspond field in gatsy-theme-intro’s default Tailwind configuration.

Available color variants

Name	Preview
`blue`	click here
`bright-green`	click here
`bright-orange`	click here
`bright-red`	click here
`classic` (default)	click here
`dark-blue`	click here
`dark-green`	click here
`dark-pink`	click here
`gh-inspired`	click here
`warm-red`	click here

Dark mode

By default, TailwindCSS uses its "media" mode for activating dark mode, which on modern OSes should toggle dark mode automatically according to OS preference. To toggle dark mode manually, add the following to your configuration:

  ...
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: "@arene/gatsby-theme-intro",
      options: {
        ...
        tailwindConfig: {
          darkMode: "class",
          content: ...
          ...
        }
      }
    }
  ]

Then add the necessary UI to add/remove the "dark" class to the <html> element. Remember to update the content field so that the files used to define this UI are scanned by Tailwind CSS.

Customization

Component shadowing

You can use Gatsby component shadowing technique to customize the theme.

All components are located in src/components directory.
All parameters accepted by components are defined using PropTypes. You can find types definitions in one centeral src/types location.
Code you want to overwrite should be placed within src/@arene/gatsby-theme-intro/ directory.
Important In order to use TailwindCSS classes in your new files, they must be be listed in the the content field of tailwindConfig, as in the example above.

Please refer to the official documentation to learn more.

Custom color variant

As theme parameter in theme configuration (gatsby-config.js) you can pass either the name of the existing theme or an object of colors.

Example:

module.exports = {
  (...)
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: "@arene/gatsby-theme-intro",
      options: {
        (...)
        theme: {
          'back': '#edf0f3',
          'front': '#2b3137',
          'lead': '#2781ed',
          'lead-text': '#ffffff',
          'line': '#ced9e3',
          'skill-1': '#405060',
          'skill-2': '#fc8732',
          'skill-3': '#2ebc50',
        },
      },
    },
  ],
  (...)
}

Please remember, that after modyfying gatsby-config.js file it may be required to restart gatsby develop process.
