Quick start

1. Start the project from template using Flotiq CLI 

npm install -g flotiq-cli 
flotiq start [projectName] https://github.com/flotiq/flotiq-gatsby-blog-2.git [flotiqApiKey]

• projectName - project name or project path (if you wish to start a project in or import data from the current directory - use .)
• flotiqApKey - Read and write API key to your Flotiq account

2. You can also start the project from template using Gatsby CLI 

gatsby new my-hello-world-starter https://github.com/flotiq/flotiq-gatsby-blog-2.git

3. Configure application 

The next step is to configure our application to know from where it has to fetch the data. 

You need to create a file called .env.development inside the root of the directory, with the following structure: 

GATSBY_FLOTIQ_API_KEY=YOUR FLOTIQ API KEY GA_TRACKING_ID=YOUR GA TRACKING KEY

4. Start developing. 

Navigate into your new site’s directory and start it up. 

cd flotiq-gatsby-blog-2/ gatsby develop 

This step is optional and is not necessary if you used flotiq-cli to start the project. 

If you wish to import example data to your account, before running gatsby develop run: 

flotiq import . [flotiqApiKey]

It will add two example objects to your Flotiq account. 

Note: You need to put your Read and write API key as the flotiqApiKey for import to work, You don't need any content types in your account.
