Authentication support #1100

Closed sedubois closed 7 years ago

sedubois commented 7 years ago

Hi! Gatsby looks super interesting, I first heard about it due to its support of GraphQL. (Any plans to demo integration with Graphcool?)

But I'm not familiar at all with static sites (both to generate them and to deploy them). My main concern is, how are authenticated pages handled if there is no custom server? Is it possible at all and is there an example? The readme states "Proper web apps should probably remain as normal web apps", but I'm not quite sure why that is. It sounds like static sites allow for the best performance (and easy worldwide deployment), so should be used if at all possible. Any clarification would be very appreciated.

My use-case is data which is stored behind a GraphQL API and does not change too frequently, however some pages do require the user to be logged in and to have a subscription. (Later, there might be more dynamic content.)

Thanks so much and keep up the good work!

@KyleAMathews Ok, I've opened an issue here for that (happy to add content / modify it): https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/issues/36427
