Gatsby + Prime CMS

Note: This starter uses The default Gatsby starter.

This repo contains an example website built with Gatsby, and Prime CMS: Demo Link.

What is Prime?

Prime is a standalone, self-hosted, headless CMS with a GraphQL interface powered by TypeScript.

Why Prime?

There are a lot of headless SaaS solutions out there, and many of them better than Prime, but sometimes there is a need to host the CMS locally and while most open source projects work well for that, they are missing key features.

Setting up Prime CMS

This example uses a apollo-link-prime to fetch posts from an instance of Prime CMS (which is running a Graphql server) you can add your own deploy of Prime CMS in utils/prime.js

export const client = new ApolloClient({
  link: PrimeLink({
    url: "https://example-prime.herokuapp.com"
  }),
  cache: new InMemoryCache()
});
