Gatsby-plugin-create-client-paths

Gatsby-plugin-create-client-paths is a plugin that enables you to create client-side routes for your Gatsby site. This means that you can create routes that don't exist on the server-side of your Gatsby site, but are handled entirely in the browser.

Prerequisites

To use this plugin, you need to have a basic understanding of Gatsby and how it works. You also need to have Node.js and NPM installed on your system.

Installation

To install Gatsby-plugin-create-client-paths, you need to run the following command:

npm install --save gatsby-plugin-create-client-paths

Usage

To use Gatsby-plugin-create-client-paths, you need to add it to your Gatsby configuration file. The configuration file is usually located at gatsby-config.js. Add the following code to your configuration file:

{
  resolve: "gatsby-plugin-create-client-paths",
  options: { prefixes: ["/app/*"] }
}

This will create a client-side route prefix for all routes that start with /app/. Any route that matches this prefix will be handled by the client-side router.

Example

Assuming you have a page in your Gatsby site called app.js. You can create a client-side route for this page by adding the following code to your Gatsby configuration file:

{
  resolve: "gatsby-plugin-create-client-paths",
  options: { prefixes: ["/app/*"] }
}

Now when you navigate to http://localhost:8000/app/, the app.js page will be loaded by the client-side router.

Conclusion

Gatsby-plugin-create-client-paths is a useful tool for creating client-side routes for your Gatsby site. It allows you to create routes that are handled entirely in the browser, without requiring a server-side route. This can be useful for creating dynamic, single-page applications with Gatsby.
