An extension of the gatsby-starter-default repository, made to get up and running quicker with standard marketing microsites.

💫 Deploy

🚀 Quick start

Create a Gatsby site.

Use the Gatsby CLI to create a new site, specifying the emotion starter.

# create a new Gatsby site using this starter
gatsby new my-default-starter https://github.com/jackoliver/gatsby-starter-emotion-theme

Start developing.

Navigate into your new site’s directory and start it up.
```
cd my-default-starter/
gatsby develop
```
Open the source code and start editing!

Your site is now running at http://localhost:8000!

Note: You'll also see a second link: http://localhost:8000/___graphql. This is a tool you can use to experiment with querying your data. Learn more about using this tool in the Gatsby tutorial.

Open the my-default-starter directory in your code editor of choice and edit src/pages/index.js. Save your changes and the browser will update in real time!

📂 Folder structure

By using gatsby-alias-imports, we can define alias paths to the modules and components we require, making it easier to import and re-use code across multiple pages and layouts.

For example, this:

import Layout from "../components/layout"
import Image from "../components/image"
import SEO from "../components/seo"

turns into:

import { Default as Layout } from 'layouts'
import { Image, SEO } from 'components'

Benefits

Multiple layouts can be created very easily on a per-page level.
Components can be imported in one line.
Modules can also be imported in one line.

The full folder structure looks like this:
