Adds support for deploying Gatsby to IPFS by ensuring that assets are relative
Gatsby Plugin IPFS is an innovative solution designed to facilitate the deployment of Gatsby websites to the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS). This plugin enhances the development process by ensuring that assets within your site are referenced with relative paths, a significant boost for developers looking to leverage the decentralized nature of IPFS. The plugin tackles the challenge presented by Gatsby’s default path handling, making it easier than ever to build and deploy projects in a decentralized manner.
With its simple setup and effective approach, Gatsby Plugin IPFS highlights the growing trend towards decentralized web technologies. It’s perfect for developers who want to explore the potential of IPFS while maintaining the ease of use that Gatsby is known for.
Relative Path Support: Automatically transforms asset paths to be relative, ensuring your Gatsby site functions seamlessly on IPFS.
Post-build Processing: Adds a post-build step that iterates over files to transform all occurrences of __GATSBY_IPFS_PATH_PREFIX__, enhancing path definition.
Easy Integration: Just include the plugin in your gatsby-config.js and set the prefixPath; installation is straightforward and hassle-free.
Dynamic Global Definition: Adds a small JavaScript snippet to every HTML page to dynamically define the __GATSBY_IPFS_PATH_PREFIX__ based on the browser’s location.
NPM Friendly: Supports installation via NPM, making it easy to integrate into existing projects while following best practices in dependency management.
MIT License: The plugin is open source under the MIT license, promoting community collaboration and transparency.
