gatsby-plugin-slug-field

Create slugs from node data, using specific fields to generate a source string.

# Using default options, with source parameter set to 'title'

{
  allPostsYaml {
    edges {
      node {
        id # 1234
        title # 'Blog Post Title'
        content # ...
        fields {
          slug # blog-post-title
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Install

$ npm install gatsby-plugin-slug-field

Configure

// gatsby-config.js

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: 'gatsby-plugin-slug-field',
      options: {
        filter: { internal: { type: 'Yaml' } },
        source: 'field-name',
        fieldName: 'slug',
      },
    }
  ],
}

Options

filter

Default: true. Type: Object, function or boolean.

Determines which nodes will be processed. It can be set to an object for simple matching (e.g.: { author: 'John Q.' }) or a function, useful in complex cases. The function will receive the current node as parameter (e.g.: node => node.field ? true : false) and must return true if the node should be processed or false to ignore it. Set filter to true if every node should be processed or false to ignore all nodes.

source

Default: undefined. Type: string, Array or function.

Defines the fields used to generate the slug. If set to a string or array, the matching fields will be used to generate the slug — if a field is null or undefined, it will be included as an empty string. For complex cases, you can use a function with this option. It will receive the current node as parameter (e.g.: node => node.field + '-slug'), and must return a string that will be processed by url-slug.

fieldName

Default: 'slug'. Type: string.

The field name to be used by createNodeField, it will contain the generated slug.

urlSlugOptions

Default: {}. Type: Object.

The options object to be passed to url-slug. More info about it can be found on url-slug documentation.

Usage

// gatsby-config.js

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: 'gatsby-plugin-slug-field',
      options: {
        filter: { internal: { type: 'PostsYaml' } },
        source: ['author', 'title', 'id'],
        fieldName: 'postSlug',
        urlSlugOptions: {
          separator: '_'
        }
      },
    }
  ],
}

# The options set above will enable the following query

{
  allPostsYaml {
    edges {
      node {
        id # 1234
        title # 'Blog Post Title'
        author # null
        fields {
          postSlug # blog_post_title_1234
        }
      }
