Watch the video from the live stream Gatsby.js’s Jason Lengstorf did with Espen Hovlandsdal, our developer behind the gatsby-source-sanity plugin. They walk you through getting started with Sanity.io and Gatsby.js, set up a project, and how to string it all together.

You can find and clone the repos for Jason’s code on GitHub:
