// gatsby-config.js
module.exports = {
  plugins: ["gatsby-gallery-auto"],
};

That’s it! Drop images into your content/gallery directory and we’ll serve up the gallery on basePath.

Theme options

<Gallery />

Don’t like the gallery page layout?

No problem! Just use the Gallery component.

import { Gallery } from "gatsby-gallery-auto";

const MyGallery = () => (
  <AwesomeLayout>
    <Gallery />
  </AwesomeLayout>
);

Shadowing

Gatsby Themes has a concept called Shadowing, which allows users to override a file in a gatsby theme. This allows the theme to be fully customizable.

To start shadowing, create a folder with the theme name gatsby-gallery-auto in your project’s src directory.

Now you’re able to override any file in the theme. For example, if you want to override the Footer component, create a file:

src/gatsby-gallery-auto/components/Footer.js

Here’s a demo of that demo/src/gatsby-gallery-auto/components/Footer.js
