I am developping a static blog using Gatsby.
It use gatsby-transformer-remark
and gatsby-plugin-i18n
plugin to support multiple languages.
I am managing the articles in the GitHub repository as follows.
And links between the articles is necessary. Therefore, in order not to become a dead link when looking at GitHub with a Web browser, we set up a link as follows.
[link](/blog/2017/09/01-bar.en.md)
However, this has the problem of dead linking when displayed using Gatsby. Because the URL in the actually generated browser is as follows.
/[gatsby-config.pathPrefix]/en/blog/2017/09/01-bar
So, when I run gatsby build
or gatsby develop
, I want to replace links between articles using regular-expressions, as preprocessing to analyze Markdown by gatsby-transformer-remark
.
How can I do the above?
Added: Feb, 2
I also tried relative links.
[link](../09/01-bar)
But the URL is /[gatsby-config.pathPrefix]/en/blog/2017/06/09/01-bar
, which is dead link.
Because Gatsby makes HTML place to /[gatsby-config.pathPrefix]/en/blog/2017/06/09/01-bar/index.html
.
So I added ../
once more. And it worked. However, this has some problems.
01-bar.en.md
), but when I add it, Gatsby cannot be recognized this time and 404 or raw Markdown are displayed.You can create a plugin for gatsby-transformer-remark
plugins/gatsby-remark-relative-linker/index.js
:
const visit = require('unist-util-visit');
module.exports = ({ markdownAST }) => {
visit(markdownAST, 'link', node => {
if (
node.url &&
!node.url.startsWith('//') &&
!node.url.startsWith('http') &&
node.url.startsWith('/')
) {
node.url = node.url.replace(/(.*)\.(\w{2}).md(#.*)?$/, (match, base, language, hash) => {
return `/${language}${base}${hash}`
})
}
});
return markdownAST;
};
plugins/gatsby-remark-relative-linker/package.json
:
{}
./gatsby-config.js
:
{
...
plugins: [
{
resolve: 'gatsby-transformer-remark',
options: {
plugins: [
...
'gatsby-remark-relative-linker',
],
}
}
},
Here I am removing the .md
from the urls and prefixing the language.
Keep your urls as in markdown starting with /
like [text](/blog/2017/09/01-bar.en.md)
