gatsby-strapi-example

This is an exploratory example of building a GatsbyJS site backed by a self-hosted Strapi CMS instance.

Setup

Backend

1. Navigate to backend directory
2. npm install
3. Launch Strap instance npm run develop
4. Browser should open to localhost:1337, setup an account as prompted (local only)
5. Feel free to poke around the default dataset

Frontend

1. Navigate to frontend directory
2. npm install
3. Ensure the backend is running, launch Gatsby npm run develop
4. Site should open at localhost:8000

Typescript

TS types are autogenerated for Gatsby & GraphQL queries. GraphQL schema is introspected from the running UI server by using .graphqlconfig - IDE can generate a GraphQL schema from that file which is used on UI startup to generate datatypes for Strapi assets.
