@builder.io/gatsby

Plugin for integrating Builder.io to allow drag and drop page building with Gatsby. It puts the Builder.io schema under an allBuilderModels field of the Gatsby GraphQL query, If a templates map is passed as option, this plugin will create gatsby pages dynamically for each page entry in builder.io on the path specified.

example

Install

npm install @builder.io/gatsby

How to use

Make a free account over at Builder.io and grab your public API key from your organization page and:

// In your gatsby-config.js
const path = require('path');
module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: '@builder.io/gatsby',
      options: {
        // public API Key
        publicAPIKey: 'MY_PUBLIC_API_KEY',
        // OPTIONAL
        // Set this to `true` to rely on our cached content. Default value is `false`, always fetching the newest content from Builder.
        useCache: false,
        // OPTIONAL
        // mapping model names to template files, the plugin will create a page for each entry of the model at its specified url
        templates: {
          // `page` can be any model of choice, camelCased
          page: path.resolve('templates/my-page.tsx'),
        },
        // OPTIONAL
        mapEntryToContext: async ({ entry, graphql }) => {
          const result = await graphql('....');
          return {
            property: entry.data.property,
            anotherProperty: entry.data.whatever,
            dataFromQuery: result.data
            /* ... */
          };
        },
        // OPTIONAL
        // to resolve a single entry to multiple, for e.g in localization
        resolveDynamicEntries: async (entries) => {
          const entriesToBuild = []
          for entry of entries {
            if (entry.data.myprop.isDynamic){
               entriesToBuild.push(await myEntryResolver(entry))
            }
            else {
               entriesToBuild.push(entry)
            }
          }
          return entriesToBuild;
        },
      },
    },
  ],
};

Then start building pages in Builder.io, hit publish, and they will be incluced in your Gatsby site on each new build!

Using your components in the editor

See this design systems example for lots of examples using your deisgn system + custom components

👉Tip: want to limit page building to only your components? Try components only mode

Register a component

import { Builder } from '@builder.io/react';

class SimpleText extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return <h1>{this.props.text}</h1>;
  }
}

Builder.registerComponent(SimpleText, {
  name: 'Simple Text',
  inputs: [{ name: 'text', type: 'string' }],
});
