Once you do it, you'll get your unique endpoint - please add it to gatsby-config.js
, within a siteMetadata

Configuration
Here is the list of configuration options you can set in gatsby-config.js
:
module.exports = {
siteMetadata: {
description: "Personal page of John Doe",
title: "John Doe",
formspreeEndpoint: "https://formspree.io/f/{your-id}",
},
plugins: [
{
resolve: "@arene/gatsby-theme-intro",
options: {
basePath: "/",
contentPath: "content/",
showThemeLogo: true,
theme: "classic",
darktheme: "dark-blue",
lang: null,
tailwindConfig: null
},
},
],
}
After modyfying gatsby-config.js
it may be required to restart gatsby develop
process.
- The
siteMetadata
section is responsible for SEO settings. - By modifying
basePath
parameter you can run the website on different URL (e.g.https://mydomain.com/profile
). It may be useful when integrating with existing Gatsby site. - By setting
showThemeLogo
tofalse
you can hide the Intro logo in the footer area. - If provided, the value of
lang
is added to the<body>
element. - Change the
theme
parameter to load different color variant. Please refer to the list below for available values. -
darktheme
is an alternative theme, defined in the same way astheme
. It is activited using Tailwind CSS's dark mode machinery. - If provided,
tailwindConfig
should be an object. Any field it provides will completely overwrite the correspond field ingatsy-theme-intro
's default Tailwind configuration.

Dark mode
By default, TailwindCSS uses its "media"
mode for activating dark mode, which on modern OSes should toggle dark mode automatically according to OS preference. To toggle dark mode manually, add the following to your configuration:
...
plugins: [
{
resolve: "@arene/gatsby-theme-intro",
options: {
...
tailwindConfig: {
darkMode: "class",
content: ...
...
}
}
}
]
Then add the necessary UI to add/remove the "dark"
class to the <html>
element. Remember to update the content
field so that the files used to define this UI are scanned by Tailwind CSS.
Customization
Component shadowing
You can use Gatsby component shadowing technique to customize the theme.
- All components are located in
src/components
directory. - All parameters accepted by components are defined using PropTypes. You can find types definitions in one centeral
src/types
location. - Code you want to overwrite should be placed within
src/@arene/gatsby-theme-intro/
directory. -
Important In order to use TailwindCSS classes in your new files, they must be be listed in the the
content
field oftailwindConfig
, as in the example above.
Please refer to the official documentation to learn more.
Custom color variant
As theme
parameter in theme configuration (gatsby-config.js
) you can pass either the name of the existing theme or an object of colors.
Example:
module.exports = {
(...)
plugins: [
{
resolve: "@arene/gatsby-theme-intro",
options: {
(...)
theme: {
'back': '#edf0f3',
'front': '#2b3137',
'lead': '#2781ed',
'lead-text': '#ffffff',
'line': '#ced9e3',
'skill-1': '#405060',
'skill-2': '#fc8732',
'skill-3': '#2ebc50',
},
},
},
],
(...)
}
Please remember, that after modyfying gatsby-config.js
file it may be required to restart gatsby develop
process.
