Add Site Metadata

PRO
Outline

Let's dip our toes into using GraphQL with Gatsby to get some site metadata.

In this video, we'll add a site-wide title, author, and description that we can use anywhere by querying for it.

First, open up gatsby-config.js. Above the plugins array, add a siteMetadata object:

siteMetadata: {
    title: "Gatsby Thinkster",
    description: "Gatsby is awesome!",
    author: "Sam Julien",
  },

Before we start using this data, let's learn about the GraphiQL explorer (your new best friend) in the next video.
