Gatsby: Adding Images to Posts

Intro​

We are currently working on the process of automatically creating pages for markdown files that are on the local directory. So far so good, but we still don’t have the ability to add images to the MD files. Currently the only thing that shows on the page is the alt tag. Let’s fix that.

Plugins​

We need to bridge the gap between gatsby-image and remark so that gatsby-image can identify and transform the images inside our markdown files.

  • gatsby-plugin-sharp
  • gatsby-remark-images
  • gatsby-remark-relative-images

Configuration​

Once those plugins are installed you just need to configure them. Check the plugin docs for instructions.

/**
* Configure your Gatsby site with this file.
*
* See: https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/gatsby-config/
*/

module.exports = {
siteMetadata: {
title: 'Gatsby Training',
author: 'Nick Coughlin'
},
plugins: [
'gatsby-plugin-sass',
'gatsby-plugin-sharp',
{
resolve: `gatsby-transformer-remark`,
options: {
// CommonMark mode (default: true)
commonmark: true,
// Footnotes mode (default: true)
footnotes: true,
// Pedantic mode (default: true)
pedantic: true,
// GitHub Flavored Markdown mode (default: true)
gfm: true,
// Plugins configs
plugins: [
'gatsby-remark-relative-images',
{
resolve: 'gatsby-remark-images',
options: {
maxWidth: 750,
linkImagesToOriginal: false
}
}
],
},
},
{
resolve: 'gatsby-source-filesystem',
options: {
name: 'src',
path: `${__dirname}/src/`
}
}
],
}

And we have working pictures.
