A fully-featured gatsby-based blog.
Get this blog running locally ASAP!
git clone git@github.com:scottnonnenberg/blog.git
cd blog
npm install -g yarn # if you don't already have it
yarn install --offline --pure-lockfile
yarn developNow you've got my blog running on http://localhost:8000!
I've decided to disable one of the key features of Gatsby for this blog: Javascript on the client side. It increases the download size for your site, but makes intra-site navigations faster. If you'd like your blog to have Javascript enabled, I have a js branch with all of that enabled: https://github.com/scottnonnenberg/blog/compare/main...js
You can also see for yourself what the experience is like with Javascript enabled here: https://blog-js.scottnonnenberg.com
gatsbyConfig.ts contains key data you'll want to change first. The location of the blog, author name and details, gatsby plugins, and so on.
mailchimp.ts is the next thing you'll want to change, since it's pointing at my mailing list. The simplest thing to do here is delete this file along with EmailSignup.* and re-add something like it when you're ready.
This runs gatsby's hot-reloading development server on http://localhost:8000:
yarn developTo cover more permutations of a given component, Storybook is a great tool. Start it up at https://localhost:6006 like this:
yarn storybookIf you're implementing deeper changes in gatsbyNode.ts, you might want to take a look at the GraphQL schema, or do some test querying. The excellent GraphiQL tool is available while the development-mode side is active at http://localhost:8000/__graphql.
Generate production-ready files to public/ folder:
yarn buildNote: this will generate rss.xml, atom.xml, all.json and recent.json to the root public/ directory along with the site.
Check types, run eslint, and the unit tests with yarn test.
You can use yarn serve to serve static files from public/ at http://localhost:8000 for manual and automated tests. tests/manual.txt has some weird tests you might consider doing if you make some larger changes.
Once you have the static server running you can check for broken links:
# quick run
yarn check-local-links
# these can take some time
yarn check-deep-links
yarn check-links http://localhost:8000/This project uses GitHub actions for CI. On every push, it will run tests, lint, check types, and check local and deep links: https://github.com/scottnonnenberg/blog/blob/main/.github/workflows/ci.yml
yarn make-post "The name of your post"Creates a new markdown file from the template at scripts/util/_postTemplate.md.
yarn clean-post
yarn clean-post 5By default processes the most recent file. If a number is provided, it will process that many most-recent posts. Removes smart quotes, duplicate links (same text as URL), and all mentions of the blog's domain (taken from gatsbyConfig.ts) to ensure that links are all of the relative form.
This blog is hosted on Vercel. It is deployed to production with every push to the main branch. You can see Vercel-specific configuration here, with redirects, cache settings, and forced trailing slashes: https://github.com/scottnonnenberg/blog/blob/main/vercel.json
yarn ready is the key thing to run to make sure things are in good shape. It checks types, runs tests, builds the site, and even checks for broken links.
But before you get there, you'll need to make some commits. And this project has some restrictions about how those commits need to be structured. This project uses standard-version to release new versions, automatically updating the version number and changelog based on commit messages in standard format. ghooks and validate-commit-msg are used to ensure all commit messages match the expected format (see package.json for the configuration details).
It takes some getting used to, but this configuration is absolutely worthwhile. A changelog is way easier to understand than the chaos of a raw commit stream, especially with standard-version providing direct links to bugs, commits and commit ranges.
