Gatsby: [feat]: add gatsby-transformer-asciidoc

[DSchau]

Summary

Gatsby is all about "bring your own content," and PDF is certainly a means of embedding useful data and content. Let's create a gatsby-transformer-asciidoc transformer plugin to enable usage of asciidoc files as a content source, and make them queryable with Gatsby's GraphQL layer.

Motivation

• Lots of people like Markdown, but lots of people also like asciidoc, so let's make Gatsby as flexible as possible!
• We'll want to transform Asciidoc to something that GraphQL can query against (e.g. HTML) so a package like asciidoctor will be _really_ helpful!

Further Detail

Consider looking at existing transformer plugins for inspiration, e.g. gatsby-transformer-json, gatsby-transformer-csv, gatsby-transformer-remark etc.

Is it cool if I claim this? Not sure if I'll have time today to work on it, but I can definitely get it knocked out before the weekend.

[DSchau]

@garetmckinley of course! ~We can assign it to you for now, but if anything changes, feel free to remove yourself!~ Can't assign it to you for some reason, but hopefully these two comments are enough to illustrate that you'd like to do it :)

[garetmckinley]

So I just found out that I'm starting a new job tomorrow, so I'm not sure how much time I'll have to work on this. If somebody else wants to take this issue, have at it. I'll have some time to work on it next weekend, so if nobody else claims it, I'll try and get it done then

[DSchau]

@garetmckinley not a problem at all. Congrats!

[derekkramer]

@DSchau Alright if I take this one?

[DSchau]

@derekkramer that'd be great!

[DSchau]

If it helps, looks like we already have the start of a plugin in this repo

[derekkramer]

@DSchau Excellent, thanks! I'll get working on it tonight.

[amberleyromo]

Hey @derekkramer! Still interested in working on this?

[derekkramer]

@amberleyromo Yes I'm actually finished, just testing the final plugin with NPM tonight then submitting my pull request

[derekkramer]

I've been running into some bizarre errors when trying to use my newly created gatsby-transformer-asciidoc plugin in a development environment. Been trying to debug for a couple days. If someone else wants to take a stab at it while I try to work out the compile error, I'd say go ahead.

[DSchau]

@derekkramer is the error anything we can help with? We'd love to assist while you're able! Feel free to open a PR and mark it WIP so we can collaborate on it, as well!

I would like to try to take a stab at this if it is still open.

You can finish the PR if you want 👍

The PR #8885 has been merged, I think this issue can be closed

[LekoArts]

Yeah!
