About The Project
Built With
Getting Started
The GMCM is built as a Gatsby theme plugin. Your content will reside in .mdx
files inside src/content
that will autogenerate pages/content as you create them.
It’s simplest to use the GMCM as a localhost tool, but even if you plan to host an instance of your GMCM, it’s important to get your local environment set up first.
To get a local copy up and running, follow these simple steps.
Prerequisites
Make sure that your terminal accepts yarn/npm
and gatsby
commands.
- yarn/npm
npm -v yarn -v
- Gatsby CLI
gatsby -v
Install these if they are not already.
Installation
- Create the folder where your new gatsby site will live locally
mkdir my-gmcm cd my-gmcm
- Create a
package.json
yarn init -y
- Install your packages
yarn add react react-dom gatsby @iamgarrett/gatsby-theme-gmcm
- Inside
my-gmcm/
create a file calledgatsby-config.js
and add:module.exports = { plugins: ['@iamgarrett/gatsby-theme-gmcm'], };
- Run
gatsby develop
When the process is complete, your GMCM will be live at
http://localhost:8000/
Usage
When you first run gatsby develop
you’ll find your local site at http://localhost:8000/
. It will be filled with example content that is housed within the plugin. To begin adding your own content, go to your project’s root directory and you’ll see that gatsby-theme-gmcm
has created a src/content
directory. This is where all your content will live.
There are four directories you can add to begin adding content:
/src/content/adventures
/src/content/references
/src/content/spells
/src/content/monsters
In order, these will be used to contain your campaigns/adventures, any rule references you wish to document, spell documentation, monster documentation.
