Getting Started (Recommended)

Netlify CMS can run in any frontend web environment, but the quickest way to try it out is by running it on a pre-configured starter site with Netlify. The example here is the Kaldi coffee company template (adapted from One Click Hugo CMS). Use the button below to build and deploy your own copy of the repository:

After clicking that button, you’ll authenticate with GitHub and choose a repository name. Netlify will then automatically create a repository in your GitHub account with a copy of the files from the template. Next, it will build and deploy the new site on Netlify, bringing you to the site dashboard when the build is complete. Next, you’ll need to set up Netlify’s Identity service to authorize users to log in to the CMS.

Access Locally

Pulldown a local copy of the Github repository Netlify created for you, with the name you specified in the previous step

$ git clone https://github.com/[GITHUB_USERNAME]/[REPO_NAME].git
$ cd [REPO_NAME]
$ yarn
$ netlify dev # or ntl dev

This uses the new Netlify Dev CLI feature to serve any functions you have in the lambda folder.

To test the CMS locally, you'll need to run a production build of the site:

$ npm run build
$ netlify dev # or ntl dev

Getting Started (Without Netlify)

$ gatsby new [SITE_DIRECTORY_NAME] https://github.com/netlify-templates/gatsby-starter-netlify-cms/
$ cd [SITE_DIRECTORY_NAME]
$ npm run build
$ npm run serve

Setting up the CMS

Follow the Netlify CMS Quick Start Guide to set up authentication, and hosting.

Debugging

Windows users might encounter node-gyp errors when trying to npm install. To resolve, make sure that you have both Python 2.7 and the Visual C++ build environment installed.

npm config set python python2.7
npm install --global --production windows-build-tools

Full details here

MacOS users might also encounter some errors, for more info check node-gyp. We recommend using the latest stable node version.

Purgecss

This plugin uses gatsby-plugin-purgecss and bulma. The bulma builds are usually ~170K but reduced 90% by purgecss.

Animation wrappers

import { FadeIn, TrailsWrapper } from '/Utilities'

Both TrailsWrapper and FadeIn use react-spring in conjunction with the Intersection Observer api to trigger animations when the wrapper enters the viewport.

<TrailsWrapper gate={0.5} configuration={config}>
 /*Any number of elements*/
</TrailsWrapper>

The gate prop sets the threshold for the intersection observer hook. A gate={1} will make the animation trigger upon 100% of the wrapped element entering the viewport. A gate={0} will make the animation trigger upon the 1st pixel entering the viewport.
