@react95/gatsby-theme v2.2.1

Installation

For a new site

If you're creating a new site and want to use the React95 theme, you can use the Gatsby CLI (make sure to select styled-components as your styling system)

gatsby new my-nostalgic-blog

Follow the CLI and when you've finished, go to the next step

For an existing site

If you already have a site you'd like to add the React95 theme to, you can manually configure it.

1. Install the React95 theme

npm install @react95/core @react95/gatsby-theme styled-components

# or

yarn add @react95/core @react95/gatsby-theme styled-components

2. Add the configuration to your gatsby-config.js file

// gatsby-config.js
module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: `@react95/gatsby-theme`,
      options: {
        // basePath defaults to `/`
        basePath: `/site`,
      },
    },
  ],
};

3. Add content to your site by creating md or mdx files inside /content folder.

React95 theme will create everything for you so you might not need src/pages.

Note that if you've changed the default contentPath in the configuration, you'll want to add your markdown files in the directory specified by that path.

4. Run your site using gatsby develop and see your content in the TaskBar. If you used the above configuration, your URL will be http://localhost:8000/site

If you have no content in the beginning, React95 theme will generate a starter for you.

Additional configuration

In addition to the theme options, there are a handful of items you can customize via the siteMetadata object in your site's gatsby-config.js

// gatsby-config.js
module.exports = {
  siteMetadata: {
    // Used for the site title and SEO
    title: `Gatsby - Powered By React95`,
    // Used for SEO
    description: `This is a Gatsby website that uses React95`,
    // Used for resolving images in social cards
    siteUrl: `https://example.com`,
