Gatsby: Using StaticQuery in html.js

[iamtraction]

Summary

I'm overriding html.js to add some data dynamically which I'm trying to get using GraphQL (using StaticQuery). Turns out it doesn't work, it compiles successfully and website opens up, but all it shows is this: Loading (StaticQuery). Is this a bug or html.js doesn't support StaticQuery?

Since StaticQuery is (or rather, should be) supported by any component (as mentioned here) and as html.js is a React component after all, can I know why html.js doesn't support it?

Relevant information

If you need any more relevant details, lemme know and I'll add them.

Why are you modifying the file?
And no, I most certainly think that GraphQL in general doesn’t work there. You can do everything with Gatsby’s APIs, there should be no need to modify this file.

[iamtraction]

Yeah. I'm just experimenting with it, to find its limits. Like, StaticQuery, does it not support it or is it a bug that's preventing it from working?

@k3rn31p4nic html.js doesn't support StaticQuery. Check the documentation for customizing html.js, it only does things mentioned there.

[LekoArts]

I'd just advise not to modify this file unless you absolutely have to.

[iamtraction]

@kakadiadarpan The docs doesn't say anywhere that the html.js doesn't support StaticQuery. Since the html.js is a React Component after all, it should be supporting StaticQuery as stated here:

Therefore, my original question still stands and I'd like this issue to be reopened.
