Local development

npm start

Deployment

Check your QA builds locally! (See Environments)

• Deploy to a Netlify draft URL for QA: npm run deploy
• Deploy to https://overture.bio: Merge a PR into the main branch.

Environments

Gatsby has two environments: development (runs a dev server with hot reloading) and production (creates a static build in the ~/public folder).

Gatsby development and production builds are significantly different, so consider running npm run qa (prod build) occasionally to check for issues, and before deploying to QA.

Local environments

• Development
  • Feature flags ON
  • Command: npm run dev
  • Secrets and settings file: .env.development
• QA (check your build before creating a Netlify link for QA)
  • Feature flags ON
  • Command: npm run qa
  • Secrets file: .env.production (overridden by netlify.toml) (ignored by git)
  • Settings file: netlify.toml, branch-deploy context
• Production (check your build before deploying to https://overture.bio)
  • Feature flags OFF
  • Command: npm run prod
  • Secrets file: .env.production (overridden by netlify.toml) (ignored by git)
  • Settings file: netlify.toml, production & deploy-preview contexts

Netlify contexts

These environments only apply when deploying to Netlify. The non-secret settings are stored in netlify.toml.

• production: The live site at https://overture.bio, deployed automatically by Netlify when a PR is merged into the main branch.
• deploy-preview: Netlify deploys that are automatically generated when there is a PR created/updated on the main branch.
• branch-deploy: Other branches and PRs, deployed manually.

Feature flags & environment variables

• Feature flags in Gatsby must be environment variables.
• Environment variables accessed in client-side code must be prefixed with GATSBY_.
• Example: Show something in development and hide it in production:
  • FLAG="true" in .env.development and Netlify branch-deploy context in netlify.toml.
  • FLAG="false" in Netlify production and deploy-preview contexts in netlify.toml.
