DatoCmsTextNode AST structure? #84

Closed tbrannam closed 4 years ago

tbrannam commented 4 years ago

I'm comparing gatsby-source-contentful's LongText markdown to DatoCMSTextNode's markdown. The Contentful plugin appears to expose a parsed representation. Is that behavior somehow available, I've noticed that text definitions result in two fields being defined. (fieldName, and fieldNameNode, where fieldNameNode is an object without any apparent useful data).

@tbrannam sorry for the delay but I've added this to our backlog, we'll be in touch as soon as possible with all the details

@tbrannam read here! https://github.com/datocms/gatsby-source-datocms#multiple-paragraph-text-fields

"Fields of type Multiple-paragraph text will be available both as simple strings (ie. excerpt) and nodes (ie. excerptNode). You can use the latter if you want to apply further transformations, like converting markdown with gatsby-transformer-remark)."

So if you need your markdown to be transformed into html, just add gatsby-transformer-remark in your gatsby-config!
