Template Details
gatsby-blog-starter is a blog template built with Gatsby, positioned for blogs about programming and development topics. The repository separates content from site code: the content/ directory holds Markdown articles, while the src/ directory holds React pages and templates; style and view adjustments are made within src/.
Articles declare metadata through frontmatter, with available fields including title, date, description, category, tags, and collection. In the README, title is marked as required, and date and category are also marked as required, but it then states that only title is required; these two statements are inconsistent, so in practice it is advisable to rely on the project's actual behavior. collection is a special field: articles with the same collection name are grouped together, and a table of contents is generated for navigating between articles in the group.
The template includes category pages and tag pages, generated automatically based on the category and tags in articles; code blocks and code snippets support highlighting. Content management relies on GraphQL, plugins, and transformers. During local development, file watching is provided, and changes are detected automatically. Build output goes to the public/ directory, and the deployment script must be configured in package.json.
