Gatsby Plugin blogmail

A plugin that simplifies adding blogmail newsletters to your Gatsby website

Description

The goal of this plugin is to allow users to bring their content to life and cultivate engaged communities by integrating blogmail newsletters into their blazing-fast Gatsby websites. After struggling to integrate different components into my Gatsby site, creating an easily-configured plugin for the Gatsby ecosystem felt like a no-brainer.

Install

yarn add gatsby-plugin-blogmail

or

npm install -S gatsby-plugin-blogmail

Configure

Add the plugin to your gatsby-config.js file with your blogmail newsletterId. You must (at a minimum) provide a newsletter ID, and you can get one by signing up at https://blogmail.co/.

// gatsby-config.js
module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: `gatsby-plugin-blogmail`,
      options: {
        newsletterId: `your-newsletterId`,
      },
    },
  ],
}

Usage

You can use the plugin as shown in this brief example:

import Blogmail from "gatsby-plugin-blogmail"

const PostTemplate = () => {
  let blogmailConfig = {}
  return (
    <>
      <h1>{post.title}</h1>
      /* Post Contents here */
      <div
        style={{
          padding: `0.5rem`,
          borderWidth: `1px`,
          borderRadius: `0.25rem`,
          borderColor: `#cbd5e0`,
          borderStyle: `solid`,
          marginBottom: `1rem`,
        }}
      >
        <Blogmail
          subscribedText="You're subscribed! 🎉"
          styles={{
            form: {
              marginBottom: `0px`,
            },
            formDiv: {

              flexWrap: `wrap`,
            },
