Summary

Gatsby has introduced a new set of homepage starters designed to simplify the process of creating websites using Gatsby in combination with various CMS platforms. These starters, unveiled at GatsbyConf 2022, aim to bridge the gap between developers and content editors by providing flexible, real-world use cases beyond traditional blog and portfolio templates. The starters support five CMSs—Contentful, WordPress, Drupal, DatoCMS, and Sanity—and offer both JavaScript and TypeScript options, all stemming from a single development repository. This setup allows for consistent data handling and feature parity through the use of plugins and themes, leveraging Gatsby's Schema Customization API to create a unified data interface. The modular architecture of React components, styled with vanilla-extract, facilitates easy customization and scalability, empowering developers and designers to make site-wide changes efficiently. The initiative also promotes community involvement to expand CMS compatibility, with resources available for users to contribute by developing new homepage starters.
