Gatsby Philipps Foam Theme

My customized Gatsby theme specifically for Foam.

Forked from mathieudutour/gatsby-digital-garden who did all the major work.

Changes made to original:

• Codeblocks with Codemirror 6
• Upped deps (Gatsby 3)
• Adopted Tailwind for styles
• Support for more themes
• Dropped roam support (check mathieudutour/gatsby-digital-garden if you need it)
• Reworked search UI
• Change graph diagram (redo with @antv/g6)
• Small table of contents at frame header (like GitHub has now)
• Sidbar with pages as folder structure

Install

npm install gatsby-philipps-foam-theme

Setup

Take a look into the _layouts folder in the example directory

Manually add to your site

Example Repository

1. Install the theme

   npm install gatsby-philipps-foam-theme autoprefixer gatsby gatsby-plugin-postcss postcss react react-dom

2. Add the configuration to your gatsby-config.js file

Config options explained

// gatsby-config.js
module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: `gatsby-philipps-foam-theme`,
      options: {
        // basePath defaults to `/`
        basePath: `/garden`,
        rootNote: `/garden/About-these-notes`,
        contentPath: `/content/garden`,
      },
    },
  ],
};

You can ignore certain folders by adding an “ignore” array to the options:

plugins: [
 {
   resolve: `gatsby-philipps-foam-theme`,
   options: {
     rootNote: "/readme",
     contentPath: "/",
     ignore: [
       "**/_layouts/**",
       "**/private/**/*",
     ],
   },
 },
],

3. Add notes to your site by creating md or mdx files inside /content/garden.

4. Run your site using gatsby develop and navigate to your notes. If you used the above configuration, your URL will be http://localhost:8000/{basePath}

Development

This is a yarn workspace. Just run yarn in the root to install.

To develop run yarn start.

How to inject custom MDX Components?

1. Create a custom react component.

2. Shadow the component with the custom component created in step 1.

3. All the MDX components that are used within gatsby-theme-garden can be shadowed by placing the custom components under the following path ./src/gatsby-theme-garden/components/mdx-components/index.js

Example: Injecting a custom CodeBlock component to support Syntax Highlighting

1. Create a custom CodeBlock component as mentioned in the MDX Guides

2. Create a file named ./src/gatsby-theme-garden/components/mdx-components/index.js with the following content.

   // the components provided by the theme
   export { AnchorTag as a } from "gatsby-theme-garden/src/components/mdx-components/anchor-tag";
   
   // your own component to inject into mdx
   export code from "./your-component"; // any code block will use this component
