This project is a robust, dynamic web application specifically designed to demonstrate skills and projects proficiently. It is developed using Gatsby, a contemporary static site generator synergistically integrated with Contentful CMS, ensuring efficient and seamless content management workflows.
Gatsby: A static site generator that builds fast and modern web applications, providing a smooth user experience.
Contentful CMS: A headless CMS known for its efficient content management capabilities, ensuring seamless handling of the project's content needs.
GraphQL: A powerful tool for querying and managing data, providing the project with high flexibility and adaptability.
TypeScript: Type-safe preprocessor for writing locally scoped classes, variables, and themes, generating static CSS files at build time.
Predefined Breakpoints: Designed for small, medium, and large screens.
Style Variants: Enables creation of variations (e.g., button types, flex behaviors) using style variants.
Theme Integration: Centralized theme file (theme.css) for consistent spacing, colors, and typography.
Scalability: Easy addition of new variants and utilities without disrupting existing styles.
Vanilla Extract: Utilized for writing type-safe CSS with excellent developer ergonomics (
Definition of Interfaces: Interfaces define a standard contract for GraphQL types, ensuring consistency, reusability, and flexibility.
Example: The HomepageBlock interface specifies the required fields, such as ID and blocktype.
Implementation by Types: Concrete types (e.g., ContentfulHomepageHero, ContentfulHomepageFeature) implement these interfaces to align with the defined structure.
Abstract Querying: Enables querying at the abstract level, simplifying the process.
Interfaces such as HomepageBlock, HomepageHero, and HomepageImage streamline schema organization for Contentful data representation.
Dynamic Pages with Advanced SEO Metadata:
Dynamic pages have advanced SEO features, ensuring maximum visibility and reach.
Canonical URLs: You can prevent duplicate content issues by specifying primary URLs.
Dynamically constructed using the page slug and site’s base URL from site metadata.
Open Graph and Twitter Metadata:
Open Graph tags enhance social media link previews.
Twitter card tags optimize previews for Twitter.
Implemented in the SEOHead component with fallbacks for missing fields.
Default Metadata Fallbacks:
Sourced from gatsby-config.js for global metadata defaults.
Dynamic Web Application: Built with Gatsby and Contentful CMS.
Responsive and Scalable Design: Breakpoints, style variants, and scalable CSS-in-JS.
GraphQL Schema Customization: Abstract interfaces for consistent and flexible CMS data querying.
Advanced SEO Features: Canonical URLs, Open Graph, Twitter Metadata, and default fallbacks.
An online photography booking store with dynamic product management and SCSS design system for branding.
Global Tokens:
The foundational "layer" of tokens.
High-level variables that propagate changes wherever they are used.
Contextual Tokens (Alias Tokens):
Add context to how tokens are used, such as "primary" or "secondary" colors.
Variable names reflect usage rather than the color itself.
Implementing a seven-in-one folder pattern to organize SCSS for a cohesive design system.
Component-Specific Tokens:
The most detailed "layer" of tokens.
Define styles specific to individual components or elements.
Provide precise context for usage, such as button background color or card border color.
Allow for granular control and customization within the design system.
Feature: Dynamic CSS Variable Generation
Purpose: Automates the creation of CSS variables for a structured color palette.
How it Works: Uses Sass loops to iterate through a map of colors and shades, dynamically generating variable names and assigning corresponding color values.
