Gatsby
Up and Running with Gatsby: First Steps

Basic Project Structure

Outline

In this video, we check out the basic structure of our new Gatsby project.

We find there's a src folder that contains a pages folder with index.js. This folder is "magic" — Gatsby will turn any React component in the pages folder into its own route.

We also find a static folder where we can add assets that we want handled outside of the Gatsby build process.

There's also a file called gatsby-config.js. This file is empty at the moment, but is where we'll configure our Gatsby site with plugins and other metadata.

Lastly, we take a look at package.json. In package.json, we find there are some built-in scripts like gatsby serve and gatsby develop. We'll explore gatsby develop in the next video.
