Using Gatsby File System Route API

Technologies Gatsby
#1

I'm having difficulty setting up dynamic pages with the Gatsby File System Route API and Prismic. I created a document called ~/src/pages/{PrismicPage.url}.js. In my Prismic repo, I have 2 'page' types, one called home and one called faq. I also have a link resolver setup up as:

exports.linkResolver = (doc) => {
  // URL for a page type
  if (doc.type === "page") {
    return `/${doc.uid}`;
  }

  // Backup for all other types
  return "/";
};

and in my Gatsby config as:

{
      resolve: "gatsby-source-prismic",
      options: {
        repositoryName: process.env.GATSBY_PRISMIC_REPO_NAME,
        accessToken: process.env.PRISMIC_ACCESS_TOKEN,
        customTypesApiToken: process.env.PRISMIC_CUSTOM_TYPES_API_TOKEN,
        linkResolver: require("./src/LinkResolver").linkResolver,
      },
    },

When I run gatsby develop, the route that is create is listed as /url}/{PrismicPage/

Not sure what I am doing wrong here.

Hey @mitchelsarauer, thanks for reaching out!

So the URL that gets created is /url}/{PrismicPage/?
Can you show me an example of the entire route?

Your setup seems fine.

#4

The entire route in the browser is http://localhost:8000/url}/{PrismicPage/

#5
  • What's the name of the file inside the /pages folder?
  • Also, does your Page type have a UID field?
#6

The name of the file is {PrismicPage.url}.js.

Ya it has a uid. Here is the JSON of the page type:

{
  "Main" : {
    "uid" : {
      "type" : "UID",
      "config" : {
        "label" : "UID"

    },
    "title" : {
      "type" : "StructuredText",
      "config" : {
        "single" : "heading2",
        "label" : "Title"
      }
    },
    "page_description" : {
      "type" : "StructuredText",
      "config" : {
        "multi" : "paragraph",
        "label" : "Page Description"
      }
    },

That's very odd. If you want you can send me the URL of your project (GitHub repo) and I can try and run the project on my machine to see if I can catch the error.
