The smallest possible Gatsby theme
Quick Start
mkdir my-sitecd my-siteyarn init# install gatsby-theme-minimal and it's dependencies yarn add gatsby react react-dom gatsby-theme-minimal
Then add the theme to your gatsby-config.js
. We'll use the long form
here for education purposes.
moduleexports = __experimentalThemes: resolve: "gatsby-theme-minimal" options: {} ;
That's it, you can now run your gatsby site using
yarn gatsby develop
Note that this site doesn't do anything, so you're see a missing
resources error. Create a simple page in src/pages/index.js
to see a
page on the root url.
; <div>My Site!</div>;
Doing more with themes
You can use this as a place to start when developing themes. I
generally suggest using yarn
workspaces like the
gatsby-theme-examples repo
does,
but using yarn link
or npm link
is a viable alternative if you're
not familiar with workspaces.
