gatsby-source-parse

npm version

Gatsby source plugin for building websites using Parse as a data source

Usage

  1. Add gatsby-source-parse as a dependency by running using npm or yarn:

    npm i gatsby-source-parse
    # or
    yarn add gatsby-source-parse
  2. Configure settings at gatsby-config.js, for example (please note that parseConfig settings are only placeholder/dummy values):

    module.exports = {
      plugins: [
        {
          resolve: `gatsby-source-parse`,
          options: {
            parseConfig: {
              apiKey: 'api-key',
              appId: 'my-parse-app-id',
              jsKey: 'my-parse-app-js-key',
              serverURL: 'https://myserveraddress.com/parse',
            },
            types: [
              {
                type: `Book`,
                map: doc => ({
                  title: doc.title,
                  isbn: doc.isbn,
                }),
              },
              {
                type: `Author`,
                map: doc => ({
                  name: doc.name,
                  country: doc.country,
                }),
              },
            ],
          },
        },
      ],
    };

    Note that you will need to have books and authors in Parse matching this schema before Gatsby can query correctly.

  3. Test GraphQL query:

    {
      allBooks {
        edges {
          node {
            title
            isbn
            author {
              name
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }

Configurations
