🚀 Getting Started

Install theme & dependencies

mkdir my-site
cd my-site
yarn init -y
yarn add gatsby react react-dom @wkocjan/gatsby-theme-intro

Enable theme

Then add the theme to your gatsby-config.js.

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: "@wkocjan/gatsby-theme-intro",
      options: {
        theme: "classic",
      },
    },
  ],
}

Run your site

That's it, you can now run your site using

gatsby develop

This process will create content/ directory within your site with a sample data.

Edit content

You can change the website's content by editing .yaml files in content/ directory:

profile.yaml

Follow existing convention to provide your profile information, skills & tools.

Do not remove existing parameters from the file, as it may break the website.

projects.yaml

For each project you can provide:

Parameter	Value	Is required?
name	Name of the project	yes
url	URL of the project	no
description	Project's description	no
status	Either in progress or live	no
tags	List of tags	no
icon	Either github or website	no
image	Path to the image	no

work-history.yaml

For each entry you can provide:

Parameter	Value	Is required?
company	Name of the company	yes
period	Start / End date	no
position	Your position at the company	no
url	URL of the company	no

social.yaml

List of your social media accounts. Please just fill the url parameter or leave it empty.

Do not add custom items to the list.

Enable email notifications

Contact form is integrated with Formspree. To enable form submissions to your e-mail, please sign up for a Formspree account and create a new form in your dashboard.

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

Configuration

Here is the list of configuration options you can set in gatsby-config.js:

module.exports = {
  siteMetadata: {
    description: "Personal page of John Doe",
    locale: "en",
    title: "John Doe",
    formspreeEndpoint: "https://formspree.io/f/{your-id}",
  },
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: "@wkocjan/gatsby-theme-intro",
      options: {
        basePath: "/",
        contentPath: "content/",
        showThemeLogo: true,
        theme: "classic",
      },
    },
  ],
}

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 to false you can hide the Intro logo in the footer area.
• Change the theme parameter to load different color variant. Please refer to the list below for available values.

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/@wkocjan/gatsby-theme-intro/ directory.

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: "@wkocjan/gatsby-theme-intro",
      options: {
        (...)
        theme: {
          'back': '#edf0f3',
          'front': '#2b3137',
          'lead': '#2781ed',
          'lead-text': '#ffffff',
          'line': '#ced9e3',
          'skill-1': '#405060',

          'skill-3': '#2ebc50',
        },
