Gatsby starter with Ant Design

It's a clone of the default gatsby starter but utilizing ant design (antd) components.

Ant design makes it easy to design a much more professional website with ease. (Seriously it's real gud m8 :D)

Sadly at the moment my starter doesn't include hot reloading for changes in src/theme/vars.less

Developing has to be restarted manualy for the changes on ant design's theme to become visible in the browser.

A full list of ant design components can be found here

The starter also has a much cooler header and footer!

Demo

Check it out here

Getting Started

Install this starter by running

gatsby new my_site https://github.com/alienCY/gatsby-antd-starter

Then just

cd my_site
gatsby develop

Site can be found running at http://localhost:8000/

Tips on importing ant design components

Highly recomended to import the components as said in their site from antd.

For example to import a button with an icon:

import { Button } from 'antd';
import { SearchOutlined } from '@ant-design/icons';

<Button type="primary" icon={<SearchOutlined />}>
   Search
</Button>

🧐 What's inside?

A quick look at the top-level files and directories you'll see in a Gatsby project.

.
├── node_modules
├── src
├── .gitignore
├── .prettierrc
├── gatsby-browser.js
├── gatsby-config.js
├── gatsby-node.js
├── gatsby-ssr.js
├── LICENSE

└── README.md

/node_modules: This directory contains all of the modules of code that your project depends on (npm packages) are automatically installed.
/src: This directory will contain all of the code related to what you will see on the front-end of your site (what you see in the browser) such as your site header or a page template. src is a convention for “source code”.
.gitignore: This file tells git which files it should not track / not maintain a version history for.
.prettierrc: This is a configuration file for Prettier. Prettier is a tool to help keep the formatting of your code consistent.
gatsby-browser.js: This file is where Gatsby expects to find any usage of the Gatsby browser APIs (if any). These allow customization/extension of default Gatsby settings affecting the browser.
gatsby-config.js: This is the main configuration file for a Gatsby site. This is where you can specify information about your site (metadata) like the site title and description, which Gatsby plugins you’d like to include, etc. (Check out the config docs for more detail).
gatsby-node.js: This file is where Gatsby expects to find any usage of the Gatsby Node APIs (if any). These allow customization/extension of default Gatsby settings affecting pieces of the site build process.
gatsby-ssr.js: This file is where Gatsby expects to find any usage of the Gatsby server-side rendering APIs (if any). These allow customization of default Gatsby settings affecting server-side rendering.
LICENSE: gatsby-antd-starter is licensed under the MIT license.
package-lock.json (See package.json below, first). This is an automatically generated file based on the exact versions of your npm dependencies that were installed for your project. (You won’t change this file directly).
package.json: A manifest file for Node.js projects, which includes things like metadata (the project’s name, author, etc). This manifest is how npm knows which packages to install for your project.
README.md: A text file containing useful reference information about your project.
