Gatsby: Create Index.js from `createPages`

[isaac-martin]

I want to pass data from a markdown file called index.md (edited via NetlifyCMS) to the index page.
If i use createPages as per the documentation and define a template for that file to build from it builds fine and I get a page at siteurl.com/index but my browser shows my 404 error page when going to siteurl.com

Couldn't see documentation anywhere? Can't imagine this is too hard?

Figured a work around out for my use case

I have the same problem. I'd like to get an answer to this question. Could it be reopened please?

Okay, it's actually trivially possible by passing path: "/" to createPage.

createPage({
  path: `/`,
  component: path.resolve("./src/components/siteRoot.js"),
  context: {
    repo_a: data.github.repositoryOwner.repositories.nodes,
  }
})
