Sourcebit helps developers build data-driven JAMstack sites by pulling data from any third-party resource

Overview:

Sourcebit is a tool that helps developers build data-driven JAMstack sites by pulling data from any third-party resource. It connects to multiple data sources, such as headless CMS like Contentful or Sanity, and delivers the data to destinations like JAMstack sites built using Jekyll or Hugo. Sourcebit works through the use of two types of plugins: source plugins and target plugins. Source plugins fetch and normalize data, while target plugins write data into a format and location that other programs expect. Sourcebit can be configured through a command-line tool or through manual installation and configuration.

Features:

  • Connects to multiple data sources
  • Fetches and normalizes data from third-party resources
  • Allows customization and configuration through plugins
  • Works with popular JAMstack site builders like Jekyll and Hugo

Command-line tool installation:

  1. In your project directory, run npx create-sourcebit to start the interactive setup process.
  2. Answer the plugin-specific questions to customize the setup.
  3. The necessary configuration file (sourcebit.js) will be generated.
  4. Start using Sourcebit in your project.
