So many files? #483

Just starting Gatsby today and did gatsby new my-test-gatsby-site and was wondering:
Has anyone written a script to remove unwanted files from the install? (i.e. .cjsx, .less, etc.)

If not, I might jump on that.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

Yeah, agree it can be kind of excessive.

With 1.0 and the new "theme" system, one thought is that themes could explicitly provide "example" content that you could a) install without it or b) remove it after installing once you're done playing around with content and you want to add your own content.

The idea of themes is interest, is this sort of like the Hugo does their themes? Is this also being actively developed on a branch?

I would love to take a look and see if there is anything I can assist with.

Update: I found what I was looking for. Going familiarize myself with the Roadmap to 1.0 and read up on the Todos in the project board.

Nice to see the use of GitHub projects in this project, super awesome feature.

@bdougie themes are probably a post 1.0 feature or will be one of the last features added. They're not necessary to actually build a site — more of an optimization to make it easier for people to adopt Gatsby. But like all optimizations, they should be the last thing you add to ensure all the foundational pieces are really good first.

But yeah, they'll work really similar to theme systems. I really like Jekyll's https://jekyllrb.com/docs/themes/

@KyleAMathews I'm having a bit of trouble with npm link. How do I link the Gatsby project to run locally?

KyleAMathews · 2016-10-11T03:06:17Z

Have you followed the steps here? https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

brianstone · 2016-10-13T03:09:42Z

@KyleAMathews I got npm link to work, thank you!

"gatsby": "^0.12.14"
node: v6.8.1
macOS Sierra

Hey @KyleAMathews. I thought I had npm link figured out, but unfortunately it's still not working. My goal is to add a flag to the cli that will run a clean version of gatsby pointing to my repo.

I have followed the directions in CONTRIBUTING.md as well and even tried it with a fresh install of my OS and a new user.

I am continuing to get the following error:

Gatsby: Local install exists but failed to load it. Continuing with global install: { Error: /Users/brianstone/code/gatsby/dist/bin/cli.js: Cannot find module

I believe that my problem is stemming from a misunderstanding of where my npm packages are located. I was originally linking to usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules, but after some looking, it appeared that it was actually pointing to a bin or lib folder located in specific versions of node (brianstone/.nvm/versions/node/v6.8.1/). Here is what my ~/.bash_profile looks like:

[[ -s "$HOME/.profile" ]] && source "$HOME/.profile" # Load the default .profile

[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM into a shell session *as a function*

if [ -f ~/.git-completion.bash ]; then
     . ~/.git-completion.bash
fi

export NVM_DIR="/Users/brianstone/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"  # This loads nvm

export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.rvm/bin" # Add RVM to PATH for scripting

As well, here is what my steps for linking look like:

cd into my fork of gatsby
npm install
npm uninstall -g gatsby && npm link
npm run build
cd into usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules
npm link gatsby
cd to a folder to test the cli
npm link gatsby
gatsby new test-fork

And then it throws the error.

Any ideas to help point me in the right direction?

I don't have experience with NVM, perhaps that is causing trouble.

Also — you don't need steps 5 & 6.

bdougie · 2016-10-22T19:25:51Z

I think you might be on to something there @KyleAMathews. NVM is a tool to manage multiple versions of node and npm link stores symlink globally to a local repo (as I understand it). NVM might be getting in the way per the first link below, though it seems resolved per the conversation.

nvm-sh/nvm#1118
nvm-sh/nvm#668

+1, I'd love to see gatsby boiled down to just a pages/ and templates/, where pages are just data and templates are the views. all other configuration goes into the package.json and dependencies.
