gatsby-source-bgg

Source plugin for pulling game collections from BoardGameGeek into Gatsby.
It creates links between entry types and assets (e.g. cover images) so they can be queried in Gatsby using GraphQL.

At a glance

Getting started

First, install the package

# npm install gatsby-source-bgg
yarn add gatsby-source-bgg

Then, in your gatsby-config.js add the plugin and configure it with all the filters and options you like.
The only required field is username. Here you can find a complete list of options.

The options are a 1:1 mapping of the API options you can find on BoardGameGeek’s documentation.

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: "gatsby-source-bgg",
      options: {
        username: "tommasoamici",
        own: 1,
      },
    },
  ],
};

You will then be able to query the games as usual with GraphQL queries, e.g.

query GamesList {
  games: allBggGame {
    edges {
      node {
        name
        numPlays
        coverImage {
          childImageSharp {
            gatsbyImageData(height: 256, width: 256, formats: [AUTO, WEBP])
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Example output:

{
  "data": {
    "games": {
      "edges": [
        {
          "node": {
            "name": "7 Wonders Duel",
