[Tutorial] Quickstart a React Site and Blog with GatsbyJS

New features in the Gatsby starter! :rocket:

  • Sourcemaps are removed in production by default. That keeps the public from reading your code comments that you thought were private. :unamused:
  • You can now deploy with npm commands:
    • Preview: npm run stage
    • Production: npm run deploy
  • Testing frameworks are installed by default, so just write some tests without spending too much time on boilerplate setup:
    • Jest
    • Cypress

I’m thinking about switching to TypeScript when upgrading to Gatsby 3, but I’m not sure.
