Gatsby Content Management

Assist with adding and managing content in this Gatsby art portfolio site.

Adding a New Painting

Step 1: Verify the Image

1. Confirm image file exists in content/paintings/images/
2. Filename is derived from painting title (e.g., "Night Hours" → night-hours.jpg)
3. Supported formats: JPG, PNG, WebP
4. Recommended: High resolution (at least 1200px on longest side)

Step 2: Determine Order Value

Check existing paintings in content/paintings/paintings.yaml and find the maximum order value. New paintings typically get order: <max + 1> unless specific placement is requested.

Step 3: Add YAML Entry

Add to content/paintings/paintings.yaml:

Copy- title: Painting Title
  description: >-
    A detailed description of the painting. Can span
    multiple lines using YAML block scalar.
  dimensions:
    width: 40.6
    height: 50.8
    unit: cm
  substrate: canvas
  substrateSize:
    width: 40.6
    height: 50.8
    unit: cm
  medium: acrylic
  year: '2024'
  alt: Descriptive alt text for screen readers
  order: 1

Note: The id and image filename are derived automatically from the title.

Required Fields

Step 4: Add Translations (Optional)

For non-English translations, add entries to content/paintings/locales/{lang}/painting-locales.yaml:

Copy# content/paintings/locales/zh/painting-locales.yaml
paintings:
  - id: painting-title # kebab-case of original title
    title: 中文标题
    description: 中文描述
    alt: 中文替代文本

Step 5: Validate

Copymake build  # Verify GraphQL picks up the new content
make test   # Ensure no regressions

Editing the About Page

About pages are internationalized. Edit the appropriate language file in content/about/:

• content/about/en.md - English
• content/about/zh.md - Chinese (Simplified)
• content/about/yue.md - Cantonese

Copy---
title: About
artistName: ';-)'
photo: about.jpeg
locale: en
---

Markdown content here...

• locale field must match the filename language code
• Photo path is relative to the about directory
• Body supports full Markdown syntax

Site Configuration

Invariant Data

Edit content/site/site.yaml for data that doesn't change by language:

Copysite:
  name: lulutracy
  author: Tracy Mah
  email: tracy@lulutracy.com
  url: https://our-nature.github.io/lulutracy.com

UI Translations

Edit locales/{lang}/common.json for navigation, buttons, and other UI text:

Copy{
  "nav": {
    "about": "about",
    "home": "lulutracy"
  },
  "theme": {
    "switchToDark": "Switch to dark mode",
    "switchToLight": "Switch to light mode"
  }
}

Translation files by namespace:

• common.json - Shared UI strings (nav, buttons)
• about.json - About page specific strings
• painting.json - Painting detail page strings
• 404.json - 404 page strings

Supported Languages

Common Issues

Painting not showing: Check that the image filename matches the kebab-case of the title.

Build fails: Verify YAML syntax (proper indentation, quoted strings where needed).

Image not processing: Ensure image is in content/paintings/images/ (not elsewhere).

Translation not appearing: Verify the locale field matches the filename and the language code is correct.
