gatsby-plugin-routes
Allows customized route configuration for Gatsby. Defining routes from configuration allows you to create pages from anywhere and with custom path.
Gives more control and helps with file structuring and naming because you don't need to follow Gatsby's default pages/
folder structure and naming convention to define new routes.
Install
npm install --save gatsby-plugin-routes
How to use
Add the plugin to the plugins array in your gatsby-config.js
. Then define path to your routes file with options.
options.path
(required)
String path to the routes configuration file.
// In your gatsby-config.js
plugins: [
...,
{
resolve: `gatsby-plugin-routes`,
options: {
// this is the path to your routes configuration file
path: `${__dirname}/src/routes.js`,
},
},
...
]
Routes -file
At routes configuration file you need to export an array of route
objects. Every object in the route -array needs to have path
and component
fields defined.
path
(required)
Path to the page where your defined view component is displayed.
component
(required)
React component to be displayed in defined path.
// In your routes configuration file
const path = require('path');
module.exports = [
{
path: '/',
component: path.resolve(`src/containers/Home.jsx`)
},
{
path: '/order',
component: path.resolve(`src/containers/Order.jsx`)
},
{
path: '/404/',
component: path.resolve(`src/containers/404.js`)
}
];
