Gatsby Plugin Disqus

A plugin that simplifies the process of integrating Disqus comments within your Gatsby website.

Install

$ yarn add gatsby-plugin-disqus
or
$ npm install -S gatsby-plugin-disqus

Configure

Add the plugin to your gatsby-config.js file with your Disqus shortname

// gatsby-config.js
module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: `gatsby-plugin-disqus`,
      options: {
        shortname: `your-disqus-shortname`
      }
    },
  ]
}

Usage

The plugin can be used as shown in this brief example:

import Disqus from 'gatsby-plugin-disqus'

const PostTemplate = () => (
  <>
    /* Page Contents */
    <Disqus 
      identifier={post.id}
      title={post.title}
      url={`${config.siteUrl}${location.pathname}`}
    />
  </>
)

export default PostTemplate

While providing an identifier, title, and url are optional, it is recommended as it will ensure that threads won’t be lost in the case that the post is renamed or the domain changes.
