Template Details

This is a template repository for starting Gatsby projects, using Gatsby and React. The README states that it includes static tests, unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests, making it suitable for establishing a fairly complete testing structure early in a project. During development, you can run the main app with yarn start, or develop components in parallel with yarn storybook.

For deployment, the repository configures GitHub Actions workflows: triggered when commits are pushed to GitHub, the PR workflow runs tests to check changes, and after merging to the main branch it deploys to GitHub Pages. The repository uses the MIT license, allowing free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution of this version of the code, but third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons must be checked separately under their respective licenses.

How this score is calculated

Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.

A demo link is listed. Check it with your own content and viewport sizes; its presence does not confirm that forms, authentication or payments work.

The catalog identifies Gatsby as the primary stack. Check the actual dependency manifest and lockfile for versions and hosting requirements. These notes use recorded metadata, not a code audit or a deployment test.

# Gatsby Template

![GitHub Workflow Status](https://img.shields.io/github/workflow/status/corbpaul/gatsby-template/Deployment/main)
[![CodeFactor](https://www.codefactor.io/repository/github/corbpaul/gatsby-template/badge)](https://www.codefactor.io/repository/github/corbpaul/gatsby-template)

Starter template to start any Gatsby project. Includes static, unit, integration and e2e testing.

## Prerequisites

You'll need Node to run this application and I suggest using [NVM](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm). Once installed run `nvm use` to use the default version.

## Installation

```
yarn
```

that's it :)

## Development

To run the main application in dev mode

```
yarn start
```

and you can also run storybook alongside to develop components

```
yarn storybook
```

## Testing

This template comes built with a variety of tests. To run the entire suite

```
yarn test
```

see package.json for individual test runners.

## Deployment

When pushing commits to Github, the workflows kick in. The PR workflow will ruin tests to check everything is ok, whilst merges to main will deploy to Github Pages.
