Gatsby Source Datocms

Overview:

The Node.js CIgatsby-source-datocmsSource plugin is used to pull models and records into Gatsby from DatoCMS administrative areas. It allows for the creation of links between records so that they can be queried using GraphQL in Gatsby. It's important to note that when using this plugin, queries cannot be written as described in the DatoCMS Content Delivery API documentation.
