Gatsby JS, Contentful & Gatsby Cloud (Gatsby JS V3 2022)

Do you want to improve your React JS skills and increase your value as a front–end developer?

– Gatsby lets you build blazing fast sites with your data, whatever the source. Liberate your sites from legacy CMSs and fly into the future.

In this course we’ll be building a Gatsby site from a Contentful CMS data source, style our app using styled–components, and deploying to Gatsby Cloud!

Level–up your React skillset by learning Gatsby.js with a Contentful CMS backend! Gatsby JS uses React JS and GraphQL to generate and build static pages from a given dataset. This course will look at setting up Contentful as a headless CMS while using GatsbyJS to generate a blazing–fast server–rendered React website from Contentful data, such as pages, menus, media, (and more!) using GraphQL to query that data.

We’ll be creating a landing page website with a paginated blog section and contact page in this course, looking at initial setup and development of Gatsby JS and Contentful locally, creating React components in Gatsby based on Contentful data, and querying Contentful data with GraphQL to automatically generate our static pages.

No landing page is complete without a contact form so we’ll be creating a contact page in Gatsby where we can update our form fields within Contentful and use Formspree to capture our user’s email address and various other details.
