Make Authenticated, Serverless, Dynamic Clientside JAMstack apps with Gatsby + Netlify Dev (Functions + Identity)!

This is a fork of https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby-starter-default which shows how to use Netlify Identity and Netlify Functions (via Netlify Dev) with Gatsby. Start here for your next JAMstack hackathon or use this as a reference implementation.

Features:

• 🚋Serverless Functions
• 🔏Authentication (with Netlify Identity)
• 🔐Authenticated Serverless Functions
• 😻External Provider login with GitHub, Bitbucket, Google, etc.
• 🏠Protected Routes
• 👋🏼Dynamic Clientside Pages in Gatsby (enabling all the above)
• 🕵🏼‍♂️Hide API Secrets from being exposed to Frontend

Make this yourself

You may not need this starter repo! Learn how to add Netlify Identity and Functions to your own existing Gatsby project.

How to start

You can clone and deploy this sample project with one click:

For development you can clone and open this project with another click:

Basically these are the extra dependencies it adds:

• netlify-lambda: For installing dependencies of Netlify Functions when deploying
• react-netlify-identity-widget: For adding Netlify Identity authentication easily on any React site

For local development, first make sure you have Netlify CLI:

npm i -g netlify-cli

## if you are totally new, you will probably need to log in, e.g.
netlify login

And then you can run this project with:

netlify dev # or ntl dev

This starts up both the Gatsby server (at port 8000) and a functions server (at a randomly selected port) and proxies them for you to a new port (usually port 8888). So make sure you go to http://localhost:8888 to have the project work

You can read the Netlify Dev docs for more info.

Enabling Netlify Identity

If you are not using the Deploy to Netlify button (which has the &stack=cms query param at the end that automatically sets Netlify Identity up for you), you will have to enable Netlify Identity manually yourself. Just head to https://app.netlify.com/sites/YOUR_SITE_HERE/identity and enable it, so that your netlify-identity-widget works.
