Install

To install the package simply run the following command

npm install gatsby-source-dataverse

After that include the plugin in your gatsby-config.js file and make sure to add the options needed for it to work.

Basic usage

The plugin at this point will just source the entities (with the specific fields) to the graphql server for you to then decide how to use that data. Use with simple templates, query the data from the pages, whatever you prefer.

Options

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: require.resolve(`../gatsby-source-dataverse`),
