How we built it 🧑‍💻

We used Gatsby as the framework of Javascript to work on. As, Gatsby provides the best in SEO and PWA we moved to it after starting the initial work in React. Different Components were built by both of us and were incorporated along as we went on with developing. But later we shifted into gatsby for better SEO and PWA.

Challenges we ran into 🥺

Gatsby was a completely new topic for us. That being said SEO and PWA were completely alien to us as we had no experience what so ever. So in order to optimise we had to learn form different websites and youtube channels along with looking into various documentations.

Accomplishments that we're proud of 😎

We were able to learn and implement our ideas in gatsby along with being able to learn and code the concepts of SEO and PWA as well. THis was a feat that seemed a bit far-fetched when we started but as we went along we conquered these on the way.

Gatsby's hello-world starter

Kick off your project with this hello-world boilerplate. This starter ships with the main Gatsby configuration files you might need to get up and running blazing fast with the blazing fast app generator for React.

🚀 Quick start

1. Create a Gatsby site.

   Use the Gatsby CLI (install instructions) to create a new site, specifying the hello-world starter.

   # create a new Gatsby site using the hello-world starter
   gatsby new my-hello-world-starter https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby-starter-hello-world

2. Start developing.

   Navigate into your new site’s directory and start it up.

   cd my-hello-world-starter/
   gatsby develop

3. Open the source code and start editing!

   Your site is now running at http://localhost:8000!

   Note: You'll also see a second link: http://localhost:8000/___graphql. This is a tool you can use to experiment with querying your data. Learn more about using this tool in the Gatsby tutorial.

   Open the my-hello-world-starter directory in your code editor of choice and edit src/pages/index.js. Save your changes and the browser will update in real time!

🧐 What's inside?

A quick look at the top-level files and directories you'll see in a Gatsby project.

.
├── node_modules
├── src
├── .gitignore
├── .prettierrc
├── gatsby-browser.js
├── gatsby-config.js
├── gatsby-node.js
├── gatsby-ssr.js
├── LICENSE
├── package-lock.json
├── package.json
└── README.md

1. /node_modules: This directory contains all of the modules of code that your project depends on (npm packages) are automatically installed.

2. /src: This directory will contain all of the code related to what you will see on the front-end of your site (what you see in the browser) such as your site header or a page template. src is a convention for “source code”.

3. .gitignore: This file tells git which files it should not track / not maintain a version history for.

4. .prettierrc: This is a configuration file for Prettier. Prettier is a tool to help keep the formatting of your code consistent.

5. gatsby-browser.js: This file is where Gatsby expects to find any usage of the Gatsby browser APIs (if any). These allow customization/extension of default Gatsby settings affecting the browser.

6. gatsby-config.js: This is the main configuration file for a Gatsby site. This is where you can specify information about your site (metadata) like the site title and description, which Gatsby plugins you’d like to include, etc. (Check out the config docs for more detail).

7. gatsby-node.js: This file is where Gatsby expects to find any usage of the Gatsby Node APIs (if any). These allow customization/extension of default Gatsby settings affecting pieces of the site build process.

8. gatsby-ssr.js: This file is where Gatsby expects to find any usage of the Gatsby server-side rendering APIs (if any). These allow customization of default Gatsby settings affecting server-side rendering.

9. LICENSE: This Gatsby starter is licensed under the 0BSD license. This means that you can see this file as a placeholder and replace it with your own license.

10. package-lock.json (See package.json below, first). This is an automatically generated file based on the exact versions of your npm dependencies that were installed for your project. (You won’t change this file directly).

11. package.json: A manifest file for Node.js projects, which includes things like metadata (the project’s name, author, etc). This manifest is how npm knows which packages to install for your project.

12. README.md: A text file containing useful reference information about your project.
