The new Gatsby website for thecodingtrain.com

Coding Train Website

This repo holds the website for thecodingtrain.com. The website is built with:

• Gatsby to perform the static site rendering
• React as the general JavaScript framework

Table of Contents

• Content Structure Guide. This guide walk you through the process of adding content to the website.

Development info

When updating the website, it is helpful to run the website locally in order to quickly see the changes made. Make sure you have Node.js version 16.x installed and then perform the following steps:

1. Clone down the repo to your computer and cd into the folder
2. Run npm install
3. Run npm run dev

This will start a local server and the website will now be accessible on localhost:8000. Changes to most files will be auto-updated in the browser while the website is running.

Note: In some cases, specially when updating loaded content, you need to restart the local server with npm run dev. And in some cases that may fail because of Gatsby's cache usage. If you run npm run clean before npm run dev, that should fix it.
