In this chapter, we will look at Gatsby's plugin ecosystem. We'll start by learning how to make our Gatsby site more modular as it grows. We will then create our first source plugin to fetch data from GitHub. We will also create our first theme plugin to create events pages for our website. Finally, we will learn how to share our plugins with the world via Gatsby's plugin ecosystem.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
