Gatsby Bootstrap Netlify Starter

Bootstrap 4, bootswatch and netlify CMS starter for Gatsby

This repo contains an example blog that is built with Gatsby, and Netlify CMS: demo

It follows the JAMstack architecture by using Git as a single source of truth, and Netlify for continuous deployment, and CDN distribution.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Node (I recommend using v8.2.0 or higher)
Gatsby CLI

Run Locally

gatsby new [SITE_DIRECTORY_NAME] https://github.com/konsumer/gatsby-starter-bootstrap-netlify/
cd [SITE_DIRECTORY_NAME]
npm start

Accessing the CMS

Follow the Netlify CMS Quick Start Guide to set up authentication, and hosting.

Configuration

Set your site's title in gatsby-config.js. If you set disqus to your ID, it will be used for your comments, set it to false and it will be left out. It's currently set to gatsby-starter-blog, for the demo, but you can set it to your disqus ID. author and authorLink aren't currently used for anything, but maybe later.

Theming

You can quickly load any theme from bootswatch by editing src/layouts/index.scss, and switching out cosmo for one of these:

cosmo
cerulean
cyborg
darkly
flatly
journal
litera
lumen
lux
materia
minty
pulse
sandstone
simplex
sketchy
slate
solar
spacelab
superhero
united
yeti

There's 2 lines to change.

You can also comment/uncomment lines in that file to customize exactly what parts of bootstrap are loaded.
