Blazing fast development with Gatsby and Sanity.io
Blog post from Sanity
The Gatsby Source Plugin for Sanity enhances the integration of Sanity.io with Gatsby.js, providing a seamless way to create dynamic, real-time JAMstack websites. By utilizing the Sanity real-time API, the plugin enables instant content updates without requiring rebuilds, facilitating collaborative development across content models, UI design, and more. It supports "watch mode" for live content previews and ensures all fields and types are present by fetching schema definitions, thus preventing accidental site breakages. The plugin also leverages Sanity's Portable Text for rich text management, allowing for customizable rendering without security risks. Additionally, it offers full support for gatsby-image, integrating smoothly with Sanity's image pipeline to handle various image sources and metadata. This combination allows developers to build websites with minimal configuration, fast build times, and a robust GraphQL API, making Sanity.io and Gatsby.js perfect companions for JAMstack projects.
