Slices API
We are adding a new API that we are calling “Slices”. By using a new <Slice />
React component in combination with a src/slices
directory or createSlice
API for common UI features, Gatsby will be able to build and deploy individual pieces of your site that had content changes, not entire pages.
To create a slice, simply:
Create the slice by adding a
slices/footer.js
file, or using thecreatePages
API action:Add a
<Slice />
component on your site, providing analias
string prop, wherealias
is either name of the file (in our case,footer
). Any additional props passed will be handed down to the underlying component.

).
Basic example of proposed change:
