Example Projects

Here you'll find all the example projects that we've created to help you learn how to use Gatsby with Prismic. Feel free to explore how it all works or even use them as boilerplates for your own project if it fits your needs!

Now choose from one of the sample projects below. The command will clone the project locally, install any necessary dependencies, create a Prismic repo and populate it with demo content. Then it's up to you to run it and see your content.

Both of these sample projects use the Previews plugin (gatsby-plugin-prismic-previews) and the Gatsby source plugin (gatsby-source-prismic). This means that they already pull data from your newly created repositories and the preview configuration for the code is also ready to use.

The content modeling for this sample blog was built with two Custom Types, bloghome and post, which you'll be able to see in both your repository and your project code.

The homepage provides a small preview of the existing posts and has built-in pagination that you can customize to your needs.

The content modeling for this sample blog was built with three Custom Types, homepage, post, and menu. And two initial languages. You can add any additional languages to your repository, and your site will work using the built-in language switcher.

Navigate to the location you want to create your project and run the theme command in the terminal. It'll perform these processes:

1. It will install the Prismic CLI (command-line interface) if it's not yet installed in your machine. This tool will allow you to interact with Prismic from your local machine.
2. It will run the theme command, which will prompt you to name your Prismic repository and local folder. Then, it'll install the project code locally, download the project files to your machine and create a brand new repository with content.
3. If you're not logged in to Prismic yet, it'll prompt an option to enter the email and password for your Prismic account (or sign up for an account).

Select the command for the sample project of your choice:

Run your project with the following command and view your published content locally.

Your site is now running locally at http://localhost:8000. Now you can change the code to customize the website: edit the stylesheets, the templates, and the repository's content to fit your design.

Refer to the dedicated deployment guide and select the option that best fits your needs:

If you have another example project that you think would be helpful to others, we'd be happy to share them on this page as well. Feel free to reach out to us at the Prismic forum, and we'd love to talk to you about getting your project on this page.
