ESLint helps find and fix code style issues and force developers to follow same rules. Current configuration is based on Airbnb style guide.

Additional commands:

npm run lint

Run it to check the current status of eslint issues across project.

npm run lint:fix

Run it to fix all possible issues.

Prettier helps to format code based on defined rules. Difference between Prettier and ESLint.

Additional commands:

npm run format

Run it to format all files across the project.

Following extensions required to simplify the process of keeping the same code style across the project:

• ESLint
• Prettier

After installation enable "ESLint on save" by adding to your VS Code settings.json the following line:

"editor.codeActionsOnSave": {
    "source.fixAll.eslint": true
}

You can navigate to settings.json by using Command Pallete (CMD+Shift+P) and then type "Open settings.json".

To enable Prettier go to Preferences -> Settings -> type "Format". Then check that you have esbenp.prettier-vscode as default formatter, and also enable "Format On Save".

Reload VS Code and auto-format will work for you.

The blog is created using gatsby-source-filesystem plugin and gatsby-plugin-mdx along with the createPages Gatsby Node API. The blog is configured to dynamically create pages with .md files from src/posts/.

In .md files we can declare frontmatter at the beginning:

• path: the path of blog post;
• date: the publish date of blog post;
• title: the title of blog post;
• isPopular: the boolean value that defines posts in block Popular posts;
• isFeatured: the boolean value that defines the post in block Featured Story (NOTE: featured post can be only 1);
• draft: the boolean value that defines the post is still in the process of being written. (it's false by default, if it's true, the post will not be rendered on production, but only on localhost);
• categories: the categories of blog post;
• tags: the tags of blog post, which is displayed in Twitter share card;
• ogImage: the og:image in SEO metadata, also it is the cover image, which is displayed in the blog post card (featured story, popular posts);
• ogSummary: the og:description in SEO metadata, also it is the description text, which is displayed in the blog post card (featured story, popular posts).
• externalUrl: the external blog post url
• ogImageUrl: the image url for the og:image in SEO metadata (use for the external blog posts)

The preview tags in .md files (which is used in the old Cilium blog) are fully converted to ogImage and ogSummary in frontmatter.

![Cilium joins the CNCF](cilium-cncf-card.png)

I'm beyond thrilled that Cilium has joined the CNCF as an Incubation project!
I'm excited about it not just as an advocate for the Cilium project, but also as
an Isovalent team member, and in my role as Chair of the CNCF's Technical
Oversight Committee - and I'd like to share why.

In .md files, it's able to use the custom component Blog Author and pass header, bio as props to the component. For example:

<BlogAuthor
header="Thomas Graf"
bio={`Thomas Graf is a Co-Founder of Cilium and the CTO & Co-Founder of <a href="https://isovalent.com">Isovalent</a>, the company behind Cilium. Before that, Thomas spent 15 years as a kernel developer working on the <a href="https://kernel.org">Linux kernel</a> in networking, security and eventually eBPF.`}
/>

Or you can import the author data in .md files from src/utils/author-data.js:

import authors from 'utils/author-data';

<BlogAuthor {...authors.thomasGraf}/>

The default theme of Blog Author is primary.

If you want to use another theme, pass the prop theme with value secondary:

<BlogAuthor
theme="secondary"
header="Guest Blog Post:"
bio={`This is a guest blog by a Cilium user based on the <a href="https://davidlovezoe.club/wordpress/archives/851">the original blog post</a>. If you would like to publish a blog post as well, contact us on Slack.`}
