Gatsby FuncJam '21 - Project Bunting

A Gatsby #FuncJam submission, created by Nicholas Martin - an A/B testing / feature flag platform made with ☕ and FaunaDB! You can find most details on the demo site

1. Start developing.

   To get started clone this repo locally and run yarn install to add all necessary packages.

   You will also need to set up the FaunaDB environment variables in .env.development. Notably, you will need to set FAUNADB_SECRET.

   yarn install
   yarn develop

2. Open the code and start customizing!

   Your site is now running at http://localhost:8000! You can use the UI on the index page to test the functions or directly access them at http://localhost:8000/api/form

   Try editing the function in src/api/form.ts or form at src/pages/index.js

3. Deploy

You can deploy this example on Gatsby Cloud by copying the example into a new repo and connecting that to Gatsby Cloud.

Dynamic API routing?

I misread the documentation (https://www.gatsbyjs.com/docs/reference/functions/routing/) as I thought I could use dynamic routes using square brackets, eg. /api/[userId], similar syntax to client-only routes. Oddly enough, it works locally, even when serving a build, but doesn't work in Gatsby Cloud... sad face emoji

res.params.userId is undefined, but oddly the path is still correctly routed...

For now, I switched to using query, but left in the original dynamic path for visibility.

Submission Checklist

• Add installation documentation to the README
