gatsby-source-parliament

Source plugin for pulling files into the Gatsby graph from local directory.

It sucks the files into the graph as File nodes based on defined patterns, as if you'd configured gatsby-source-filesystem on that directory. As such, all the tranformer plugins that operate on files should work exactly as they do with gatsby-source-filesystem eg with gatsby-transformer-remark, gatsby-transformer-json etc.

N.B. Although with respect to sourcing this works as a drop-in replacement for gatsby-source-filesystem, there are a number of helpers included in that module (createFilePath, createRemoteFileNode, createFileNodeFromBuffer) that are not duplicated here – but you can still import and use them from there as needed.

Install

npm install --save @adobe/gatsby-source-parliament

Configuration

Plugin options

• name: A machine name label for each plugin instance.
• path: The path to the local directory.
• patterns (optional): Passed to fast-glob to determine which files get sucked into the graph.

Example gatsby-config.js

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    // You can have multiple instances of this plugin to read source files from
    // different repositories or locations within a repository.
    {
      resolve: `@adobe/gatsby-source-parliament`,
      options: {
        name: `external`,
        path: `path/to/local/directory`,
        // Only import the docs folder from a codebase.
        patterns: `docs/**`
      }
    }
  ]
};

This will result in File nodes being put in your data graph, it's then up to you to do whatever it is you want to do with that data.

How to query

You can query file nodes exactly as you would node query for nodes created with gatsby-source-filesystem, eg:

{
  allFile {
    edges {
      node {
        extension
        dir
        modifiedTime
      }
    }
  }
}

Similarly, you can filter by the name you specified in the config by using sourceInstanceName:

{
  allFile(filter: { sourceInstanceName: { eq: "external" } }) {
    edges {
      node {
        extension
        dir
        modifiedTime
      }
    }
  }
}

Creating pages

If you want to programatically create pages on your site from the files in your git repo, you should be able to follow the standard examples, such as part 7 of the Gatsby tutorial or the standard docs page.
