Getting Started

Check your development environment! You'll need Node.js, the Gatsby CLI and node-gyp installed. The official Gatsby website also lists two articles regarding this topic:

To copy and install this starter run this command (with "project-name" being the name of your folder you wish to install it in):

gatsby new project-name https://github.com/LekoArts/gatsby-starter-portfolio-jodie
cd project-name
npm run develop

Configuring the Instagram source plugin

You need to have a Facebook page (I know... :/)
Go to your site settings -> Instagram -> Login into your Instagram account
Create a app
Go to the Graph API Explorer
1. Select your App from the top right dropdown menu
2. Select "Get User Access Token" from dropdown (right of access token field) and select needed permissions (manage_pages, pages_show_list, instagram_basic)
3. Copy user access token
Access Token Debugger:
1. Paste copied token and press "Debug"
2. Press "Extend Access Token" and copy the generated long-lived user access token
Graph API Explorer:
1. Paste copied token into the "Access Token" field
2. Make a GET request with "PAGE_ID?fields=access_token"
3. Find the permanent page access token in the response (node "access_token")
Access Token Debugger:
1. Paste the permanent token and press "Debug"
2. "Expires" should be "Never"
3. Copy the access token
Graph API Explorer:
1. Make a GET request with "PAGE_ID?fields=instagram_business_account" to get your Business ID

Now create a .env file at the root of the project with the following content:

BUSINESS_ID=YOUR_ID
ACCESS_TOKEN=YOUR_TOKEN

You can paste your access token and Business ID there.

Adding a new project

Create a new folder in content/projects and place your images there
Add your project to the content/projects/projects.yaml file

Adding a new page

Create a new .tsx file in the src/pages directory

Adding new features/plugins

You can add other features by having a look at the official plugins page

Building your site

npm run build

Copy the content of the public folder to your webhost or use a website like Netlify which automates that for you.
