Local Development

Developers have a wide variety of toolchains, from operating systems to code quality standards. This section walks you through modifying your setup to create your preferred development environment.

It includes instructions for Windows and Linux machines, environment variables, Javascript setup (webpack, Babel, browser support), and code quality standards (formatting, linting, typing).

 Main Guides 4

Create project from starter→

Starters are boilerplate Gatsby sites maintained by the community and intended for jump-starting development quickly.

Environment variables→

Run Gatsby's develop or build processes with different options, or use secrets you don't want to check into your version control.

Debug development errors→

Some common errors come from gatsby-image, GraphQL, and plugin installation

Javascript tooling→

Gatsby offers support for the standard Javascript toolchain, like Typescript, webpack, Babel, ESLint, and Prettier
