gatsby-theme-purist v1.3.2

Purist – A Gatsby theme

A clean, full-featured theme with built-in dark mode, and social sharing – all for creating content with Gatsby.

Features

Why you should use Purist:

Dark mode

A toggable light and dark theme are available out of the box using the prefers-color-scheme media query to determine the default theme.

Social Sharing

You can select text within an article to easily copy or share directly with Twitter and LinkedIn.

Getting Started

A guide on how to get started with Purist.

Installation

Using the gatsby-cli:

gatsby new my-site https://github.com/sebsojeda/gatsby-starter-purist

Using git:

git clone https://github.com/sebsojeda/gatsby-starter-purist my-site

cd my-site

yarn

Development & Build

Once the starter has been downloaded, you can begin development.

# Run localhost
yarn dev

# Production build
yarn build

# Clear all caches
yarn clean

Creating an article

To create an article, create a new folder in /content/articles/. You can name it anything you'd like, but the folder name will determine the slug for the page. Then you can add an index.mdx file for your content. Any media files for your article can also go in this folder.

/content/articles/my-first-article/index.mdx

# Create your awesome MDX content here

Configuring site metadata

Add a site configuration to customize the theme to your liking.

/gatsby-config.js

module.exports = {
  siteMetadata: {
    name: 'Purist',
    defaultTitle: 'Purist: Creating content',
    titleTemplate: '%s • Purist: Creating content',
    description:
      'This is my description that will be used in the meta tags and important for search results',
    hero: {
      heading: 'Welcome to Purist.',
      subheading: 'A clean way to create content with Gatsby',
    },
    social: [
      {
        name: 'Twitter',
        url: 'https://twitter.com/sebsojeda',
      },
      {
        name: 'GitHub',
        url: 'https://github.com/sebsojeda',
      },
    ],
  },
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: 'gatsby-theme-purist',
      options: {
        contentBase: 'content',
        basePath: '/',
        featuredArticleLimit: 2,
      },
    },
  ],
};

Customization

Adding your logo

Your logo must be in SVG (vector) format in order to add it to the theme. This is required because we will be making a React component containing your SVG Logo.

Start by creating the component file at:

  gatsby-site
  └── src
    └── gatsby-theme-purity
      └── components
        └── Logo
          └── index.js

Once the file is created you can create your Logo component.

import React from 'react';

/**
 * Paste in your SVG logo and return it from this component.
 * Make sure you have a height set for your logo.
 * It is recommended to keep the height within 24-34px.
 * Make sure you set any 'fill' and 'stroke' attributes
 * to "currentColor" if you would like the hover effect.
 */
export default function Logo() {
  return (
    <svg viewBox="0 0 28 28" height="24px" fill="currentColor">
      <circle
        cx="14"
        cy="14"
        r="12"
        stroke="currentColor"
        stroke-width="2"
        fill="none"
      />
    </svg>
  );
}

Changing styles

Create a theme file and then you can override it with custom values.

/src/gatsby-theme-purity/theme/index.js

export default {
  fonts: {
    sans:
      'ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"',
