gatsby-theme-byfolio
Initially this was a personal portfolio made in GatsbyJs, now it's a Gatsby theme available to anyone who wants to tell their work history focusing only on the content.
Installation
mkdir portfolio && cd portfolio yarn init -y yarn add react react-dom gatsby @christiandavid/gatsby-theme-byfolio
Create gatsby-config.js file and load the plugin
// gatsby-config.js module.exports = { plugins: [ { resolve: `@christiandavid/gatsby-theme-byfolio`, }, ], }
gatsby develop
In your brower load localhost:8000
Configuration
After each modification in gatsby-config.js it is necessary to restart the site from the terminal.
// gatsby-config.js module.exports = { plugins: [ { resolve: `@christiandavid/gatsby-theme-byfolio`, options: { basePath: ``, path: `src/`, imagesPath: `src/images/`, siteTitle: `Portfolio`, siteUrl: `https://www.christianibarguen.com`, siteName: `Christian David Ibarguen`, siteShortName: `CD`, siteDescription: `This cool App contains information about my work experience as a software developer.`, siteKeywords: `Software developer, Full Stack Developer`, useMozJpeg: true, menuLinks: [ // title = Link text // color = Animation background color on click { name: `home`, title: `Home`, color: `#000`, link: `` }, { name: `experience`, title: `Experience`, color: `#3a3d98`, link: ``, }, { name: `skills`, title: `Skills`, color: `#d52d43`, link: `` }, { name: `aboutMe`, title: `About Me`, color: `#fff`, link: `` }, ], email: `[email protected]`, social: { // Usernames twitter: `ichristiandavid`, gitHub: `christiandavid`, stackOverflow: `967956/christian-david`, linkedIn: `in/christianibarguen/`, resumeInPdf: `/CV-19.pdf`, // url or local link }, homePage: { availableToHire: true, dotColors: ["#0e3e1e", "#6CC551"], h1Text: `Hi!, I'm Christian David Ibarguen`, h2Text: `I'm a Full Stack Developer who loves working in Backend, I have worked as a software developer since 2006.`, typewriter: [ `Coding is my passion :sunglasses:`, `I'm a :pizza: lover`, `I'm a pretty fast learner and always interested in learning new technologies `, `I think one of my values is the <strong>ability to resolve problems<strong>`, `I like to share what I know :man::school:`, `In my non-coding hours, I'm at the `, `I also do design and UX work <span style='color: #27ae60;'>occasionally</span>`, ], }, // Color for menu background shapeColor: { link: { color: "#171616", hover: "#fff" }, shape1: { color: `#413f46`, opacity: `0.7`, }, shape2: { color: `#e6e5ea`, opacity: `0.7`, }, shape3: { color: `#fff`, opacity: `0.7`, }, }, footer: `heart`, }, }, ], }Option name Type Description basePath string Where should the site be served from? /porfolio will change all paths to start with /porfolio path string Place where the files are stored, for example:

Adding experience and skills
This theme generates pages based on Markdown files in the path
/experience directory. Your Markdown files should contain some frontmatter defining their company, logo, etc. All company logos must be relative to imagesPath
/companies directory. All Skills logos must be relative to imagesPath
/skills directory. All layout images must be relative to company directory, for example: imagesPath
/companies/vlooping
Important
For each Skill you must add the logo of the Framework, library or program, with a resolution of width: 500px, height: 500px , in the src/images/skills/ directory I leave several logos, only Skills logos that I own are present, if the logo you need does not appear you must create it .
Layout number is for image animation you can select from 1 to 5, please do not forget to add the images "images/companies/vlooping.png, images/skills/html5.png, images/skills/react.png, images/companies/vlooping/vlooping.png" to run the following example
--- title: "" company: "Company Name" logo: ../images/companies/vlooping.png jobTitle: "My job position" skills: [ { title: "HTML 5", image: ../images/skills/html5.png }, { title: "HTML 5", image: ../images/skills/react.png }, ] images: [ { title: "Layout 4", description: "Description text for layout 4.", layout: "4", files: [ { image: ../images/companies/vlooping/vlooping.png }, { image: ../images/companies/vlooping/vlooping.png }, { image: ../images/companies/vlooping/vlooping.png }, ], }, { title: "Layout 1", description: "Description text for layout 1.", layout: "1", files: [ { image: ../images/companies/vlooping/vlooping.png }, { image: ../images/companies/vlooping/vlooping.png }, { image: ../images/companies/vlooping/vlooping.png }, ], }, { title: "Layout 2", description: "Description text for layout 2.", layout: "2", files: [ { image: ../images/companies/vlooping/vlooping.png }, { image: ../images/companies/vlooping/vlooping.png }, { image: ../images/companies/vlooping/vlooping.png }, { image: ../images/companies/vlooping/vlooping.png }, { image: ../images/companies/vlooping/vlooping.png }, ], caption: "New Message", }, { title: "Layout 3", description: "Description text for layout 1.", layout: "3", files: [ { image: ../images/companies/vlooping/vlooping.png }, { image: ../images/companies/vlooping/vlooping.png }, { image: ../images/companies/vlooping/vlooping.png }, { image: ../images/companies/vlooping/vlooping.png }, ], }, { title: "Layout 5", description: "Description text for layout 5.", layout: "5", files: [ { image: ../images/companies/vlooping/vlooping.png }, { image: ../images/companies/vlooping/vlooping.png }, { image: ../images/companies/vlooping/vlooping.png }, ], }, ] dateFrom: "2015-12-01" dateTo: "2019-12-01" --- - Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum - Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text - It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page - There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available - The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested
Skills
The Skills are automatically selected from experience, in case some skill you acquired does not correspond to a company you can add it in path
/experience/_additionalSkills.md
--- title: "" company: "" jobTitle: "" logo: skills: [ { title: "React", image: ../images/skills/react.png }, { title: "React Native", image: ../images/skills/react-native.png }, { title: "Gatsby", image: ../images/skills/gatsby.png }, { title: "GraphQL", image: ../images/skills/graphql.png }, { title: "Redux", image: ../images/skills/redux.png }, { title: "Apollo GraphQL", image: ../images/skills/apollo.png }, { title: "Socket.io", image: ../images/skills/socket-io.png }, ] images: [] dateFrom: "2019-09-01" dateTo: "2019-09-01" ---
Component shadowing
You can customize elements like the css style or about-me content by taking advantage of component shadowing .
I recommend using Coolors.co to select a color palette and adapt it to your new portfolio.
You can change the color of the text and the background of each page, for example:
// src/@christiandavid/gatsby-theme-byfolio/layout/layoutColors.css.js import { css } from "@emotion/core" import lineSvg from "../../../static/assets/line.svg" const styles = css` .e404.layout-wrapper .layout-inner { background: #fff; } .e404 .data-section { color: #000; } .aboutme.layout-wrapper .layout-inner { background: #fff; } .aboutme .data-section { color: #000; } .aboutme .hamburgercolr::before, .aboutme .hamburgercolr::after, .e404 .hamburgercolr::before, .e404 .hamburgercolr::after { background-color: #000; } .home.layout-wrapper .layout-inner { background: #0e0f11; background: #0e0f11 url(${lineSvg}) center center fixed; background-size: contain; } .home.layout-wrapper h1, .home.layout-wrapper h2 { color: #fff; } .skill.layout-wrapper .layout-inner { color: #fff; background: #9d316e; background: url(${lineSvg}) center center fixed, linear-gradient( 45deg, #9d316e, #de2d3e ); background-size: cover; } .experience.layout-wrapper .layout-inner { background: #3a3d98; background: url(${lineSvg}) center center fixed, linear-gradient( 45deg, #6f22b9, #3a3d98 ); background-size: cover; } .home .hamburgercolr::before, .home .hamburgercolr::after, .skill .hamburgercolr::before, .skill .hamburgercolr::after, .experience .hamburgercolr::before, .experience .hamburgercolr::after { background-color: #fff; } .home .btn-contact-color, .experience .btn-contact-color { color: #fff; } .aboutme .btn-contact-color, .e404 .btn-contact-color { color: #000; } ` export default styles
You can change the about-me text in the "src/@christiandavid/gatsby-theme-byfolio/contentJSON/about-me.json" file, for example:
[ { "subtitle": "About Me!", "content": "I'm a <strong>Software Developer</strong>" }, { "subtitle": "Experience!", "content": "I started developing software from <strong>2004</strong> working in several companies" } ]
