# Gatsby + Cosmic

![gatsby-blog-cosmicjs](https://cdn.cosmicjs.com/fe5196f0-42c2-11ea-8d10-df553329919a-gatsby-blog-cosmic.png "The index page of the starter blog")

> This repo contains an example blog website that is built with [Gatsby](https://www.gatsbyjs.org/), and [Cosmic](https://www.cosmicjs.com).

> [See live demo hosted on Netlify](https://gatsby-blog-cosmicjs.netlify.com/)

> Uses the [Cosmic Gatsby Source Plugin](https://www.npmjs.com/package/gatsby-source-cosmicjs)

## Prerequisites

- Node (I recommend using v8.2.0 or higher)
- [Gatsby CLI](https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/)

## Install

``` bash
# Make sure that you have the Gatsby CLI program installed
npm install --global gatsby-cli

# run from your CLI
gatsby new gatsby-example-blog https://github.com/cosmicjs/gatsby-blog-cosmicjs
```
In `gatsby-config.js` you need to add configuration for your Cosmic Bucket

``` javascript
{
resolve: 'gatsby-source-cosmicjs',
options: {
bucketSlug: '', /* Find this in Your Bucket > Settings > Basic Settings after logging in at https://app.cosmicjs.com/login */
objectTypes: ['posts', 'settings'], /* Object types to fetch */
apiAccess: {
read_key: '', /* Find this in Your Bucket > Settings > API Access after logging in at https://app.cosmicjs.com/login */
},
localMedia: true /* Optional. If you want to enable local image for Gatsby Image */
}
},
```

Then

``` bash
# Then you can run it by
cd gatsby-example-blog
npm run develop
```

## Enable content auto refresh
To enable content auto refresh, open another terminal window and run the following command:
```
npm run poll-content
```
This will poll the content in your Bucket for any updates and automatically refresh it in your blog during development. Learn more about refreshing content in the [Gatsby docs](https://www.gatsbyjs.com/docs/refreshing-content/).

## Deploy to Netlify
You can deploy to Netlify in a few steps using their CLI. Run the following commands from the root folder.
```
npm i -g netlify-cli
netlify deploy
```

#### Set your Environment Variables in Netlify
In the Netlify dashboard, set your environment variables located in Site Settings > Build and Deploy > Environment. Find your Cosmic Bucket keys located in Bucket > Basic Settings after logging in.
```
COSMIC_BUCKET=
COSMIC_READ_KEY=
```
