Gatsby: Demo with Graphcool

[sedubois]

As the Gatsby documentation mentioned how it can integrate with external CMSes, and considering its evolution towards a GraphQL data layer, I think it would be awesome to have a Gatsby + Graphcool demo 😄

@sedubois are you volunteering to make a plugin for it? 😁

There is one in process for contentful, but it would be awesome to see graphcool in the mix.

Would that be a source plugin like gatsby-source-drupal or something? Where can I find the contentful plugin source?

• Disclaimer: I like plugins :)

[KyleAMathews]

Yeah, it'd be a source plugin (need to write up docs on writing source plugins soon). You can find the source at https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/tree/1.0/packages

[kbrandwijk]

Cool, I'll try that... Thanks!

@kbrandwijk @KyleAMathews this is something I am interested in using at least, as I have an account on GraphCool and data I'd like to pull into a project of ours

[KyleAMathews]

@nickeblewis nice! Would love a graphcool plugin added. BTW, did get the source plugin docs up https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/create-source-plugin/

Would love to see this in Gatsby. Seems like the perfect combo.

@KyleAMathews - just getting acquainted with Gatsby - is there any reason that one cannot simply interact with graphcool from react components in Gatsby - is a plugin necessary given the Gatsby architecture?

[KyleAMathews]

To be able to query graphcool using gatsby's data layer and include as part of server rendering yes. But to use in client like normal no.

[spherop]

Thanks Kyle.

Planning on doing GraphQL stitching in the future https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/pull/2423#issuecomment-352535452

The GraphCMS Plugin actually works with Graphcool :+1:
