gatsby-theme-garden

A Gatsby theme for publishing a digital garden.

Installation

For a new site

If you're creating a new site and want to use the garden theme, you can use the garden theme starter. This will generate a new site that pre-configures use of the garden theme.

gatsby new my-digital-garden https://github.com/mathieudutour/gatsby-starter-digital-garden

Manually add to your site

  1. Install the theme

    npm install gatsby-theme-garden
  2. Add the configuration to your gatsby-config.js file

    // gatsby-config.js
    module.exports = {
      plugins: [
        {
          resolve: `gatsby-theme-garden`,
          options: {
            // basePath defaults to `/`
            basePath: `/garden`,
            rootNote: `/garden/About-these-notes`,
            contentPath: `/content/garden`,
          },
        },
      ],
    };
  3. Add notes to your site by creating md or mdx files inside /content/garden.

  4. Run your site using gatsby develop and navigate to your notes. If you used the above configuration, your URL will be http://localhost:8000/garden

You can also use a Roam Research database to source your notes. Specify the roamUrl, roamEmail and roamPassword options to do so. More information on gatsby-source-roamresearch

How to inject custom MDX Components?

  1. Create a custom react component.

  2. Shadow the component with the custom component created in step 1.

  3. All the MDX components that are used within gatsby-theme-garden can be shadowed by placing the custom components under the following path ./src/gatsby-theme-garden/components/mdx-components/index.js

Example: Injecting a custom CodeBlock component to support Syntax Highlighting

  1. Create a custom CodeBlock component as mentioned in the MDX Guides

  2. Create a file named ./src/gatsby-theme-garden/components/mdx-components/index.js with the following content.

    // the components provided by the theme
    export { AnchorTag as a } from "gatsby-theme-garden/src/components/mdx-components/anchor-tag";
    
    // your own component to inject into mdx
    export code from "./your-component"; // any code block will use this component
