Gatsby With NetlifyCMS Tutorial

In this tutorial we go through the netlify + gatsby guide to set everything up to add blog entries from the netlify cms. We then configure an admin settings controlled via netlify cms as well.

Leave any comments below with questions you may have, hope this helps!

Nailed this video. I've been slowly starting to learn Gatsby to build a new site for my company, definitely going to hook it up to Netlify after seeing this!

Hi, thanks for the video. Question: does the site/ file exist? I am able to see the changes in the admin, but using the collection in the admin does not work. I get this error:

./src/pages/index.js
Module not found: Can't resolve in

Do I need to create it first?

THANK YOU, im subscribing! Ive been making html css js websites, should I go for react before gatsby? Im not used to advanced js yet, and component layout

This was great man, very informative. I just wish it put the blog post in database instead of in a file structure.

Hey guys I have a question. If I am trying to design a website BEFORE integrating a CMS. can i just query basic text from text fields on the CMS and inject them into specific pages? Or is my only option here to programmatically create separate new pages such as blog articles etc.

Hi, very helpful video, thanks! I usually create sites for my clients using Wordpress, but would this be a good alternative for making a site for client in Wordpress? Are there any downsides compared to WP?

Thanks for the vid - netlifyCMS documentation is a bit over the place.

Is there a gitless solution?
Because I don't understand why I would need to version control my personal blog website...
I want to use a static-site generator, but also want the rich-text editor to post new articles, so I don't have to deal with the markup.

Great video - loved the content with relevant examples. What font are you using in VS Code?

[Scottiex]

followed the steps all the way up to the git add .

its giving me the error

fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories: .git

any idea what I could have done wrong?

[fouflo]

hey mate thanks for this video very usefull. Another side question: what is this VS code theme? (pink and dark) love it! any chance to share that?

[danielmethner]

Thanks for the video!
It would really help though, if you posted the npm commands either in the description of the video or if You moved the screen to a position where they are readable. Right now they end up right under the red loading bar in the youtube video, making it virtually impossible to read them.

EDIT: Also the command "npm i netlify-cms-app gatsby-plugin-netlify-cms" throws an error:
"Unexpected end of JSON input while parsing near '...T6T+1E6q7/vZO8FnXTbp0'"
