Hey y’all!
I’m investigating GatsbyJS and I’m having a little bit of a hard time understanding a couple of things.
1: Does GatsbyJS always produce a site that uses the React framework? (I know it uses React in the process of building the site). I’m just talking about the resulting static files that Gatsby produces.
2: Is it possible for GatsbyJS to produce a site that does not have any JS? A simple one page site without interactivity would not need JS for example. Is it possible to create such a one-page-website with GatsbyJS?
3: I ran the example code from here (https://www.gatsbyjs.org/tutorial/part-zero/#create-a-site) and did gatsby build
. That hello world example ends up being 704KB (!) of code, just for a “hello world”. A lot of it is source maps, that the browser only requests when debugging (right). But there’s still quite a lot in that page. What is all that stuff?
Thanks!
