module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    `gatsby-plugin-dynamic-routes`
  ]
}

Create your's Routes.js inside your src/ folder

project/
├── src/
  └── Routes.js

Routes.js

  home: {
    path: `/casa`,
    component: `src/pages/Home.js`
  }
}

}

Dynamic routes

Routes.js

module.exports = {
  development: {
    two: {
      path: `/2`,
      component: `src/pages/Two.js`
    }
  },
  staging: {
    two: {
      path: `/dois`,
      component: `src/pages/Two.js`
    }
  },
  home: {
    path: `/casa`,
    component: `src/pages/Home.js`
  }
}

Run with your BUILD_ENV environment

BUILD_ENV=staging yarn start

If you are using the plugin Dynamic Environment Variables, what will happen is that your environments inside your .env and .env.staging will be loaded, and your routes inside staging key will go to root of the object that is exported of Routes and will be available in yours global environment variables.

component/Example.js

import { Link } from "gatsby"
/* globals ROUTES */

function Example() {
  return <Link href={ROUTES.two.path} />
}

Note that you need to put eslint globals comment in each file that will use ROUTES global variable.

You need to create an empty .eslintrc in root of your folder to remove this comments.

If you are using eslint in your project, just update this key to your config:

{
  "rules": {
    "no-undef": "off"
  }
}

You can pass more than path or component keys, these keys will be available in your component later

Variations

If you want to made variations of the same environment, but whit different routes, you can use ROUTE_ENV variable to chose your dynamic routes

example

ROUTE_ENV=organic BUILD_ENV=production yarn build

Options

routeFilePath

This options allows you to specify what's the path to your file with your Routes object

Example:

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: `gatsby-plugin-dynamic-routes`,
      options: {
        routeFilePath: `config/Routes.js`
      }
    }
  ]
}
project/
├── config/
  └── Routes.js

If you want to put in root of your project, simply put the name of your file

Ignoring gatsby default page creator

By default, gatsby generates one route to each file inside pages/ folder, to disable this feature, put in you gatsby-config.js:

{
  resolve: `gatsby-plugin-page-creator`,
  options: {
    path: `${__dirname}/src/pages`,
    ignore: {
      patterns: [`**/*`],
    },
  },
},
