Querying all images in folder using GraphQL

问题:

I am currently learning Gatsby.js and GraphQL as a supplementary technology and got stuck with querying. I want to query all images from a folder, map trough them and display them in a react component as a grid. I am using gatsby-source-filesystem but can't figure out, how to address specifically that folder and get all images from it.

My plugin set up for source-filesystem looks like this.

{
  resolve: `gatsby-source-filesystem`,
  options: {
    path: `${__dirname}/src/posts`,
    name: 'posts',
  },
},
{
  resolve: `gatsby-source-filesystem`,
  options: {
    name: `images`,
    path: `${__dirname}/src/assets/images`,
  },
},
{
  resolve: `gatsby-source-filesystem`,
  options: {
    name: `photos`,
    path: `${__dirname}/src/assets/photos`,
  },
},

I have my images in src/assets/photos

Thanks for any help!

You can select specific folders using filters in graphql.

Try something like this:

query AssetsPhotos {
  allFile(filter: {extension: {regex: "/(jpg)|(jpeg)|(png)/"}, relativeDirectory: {eq: "photos"}}) {
    edges {
      node {
        id
        name
      }
    }
  }
}

Where eq: photos should be changed to the relative directory result you get for the files you want to target when you go to GraphiQL and run a query on allFile.

I like to use sourceInstanceName when using gatsby-source-filesystem plugin as documented in the plugin docs.

Your gatsby-config.js

{
  resolve: "gatsby-source-filesystem",
  options: {
    path: `${__dirname}/content/legal`,
    name: "legal", // IMPORTANT: the name of your source instance
  },
}, {
  resolve: "gatsby-source-filesystem",
  options: {
    path: `${__dirname}/content/blog`,
    name: "blog",
  },
}

Then you can directly address them in your GraphQL query using filter and sourceInstanceName:

export const query = graphql`
{
  allFile(filter: {
      extension: {eq: "png"},
      sourceInstanceName: {eq: "blog"}
    })
  {
    edges {
      node {
      childImageSharp {
          fluid(maxWidth: 300, quality: 50) {
            originalName
            ...GatsbyImageSharpFluid
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

In contrast to relativeDirectory, this way you never have to deal with changing relative paths you might refactor your project or whatever. Just let GraphQL handle it for you!
