When do I use this plugin?

As discussed in ticket #1878, configurable output folder function will not be implemented in Gatsby@v2.

But sometimes changing output dir is necessary like build Gatsby with pathPrefix and deploy it to Netlify's subdirectory. This plugin is trying to move the compiled files from ./public to your target folder.

IMPORTANT: In usual case, you'd better put this plugin in the end of the gatsby-config.js as other plugins like gatsby-plugin-offline is hard-coding public folder.

Examples of usage

1. Clean the cache and Define the output dir by environment parameter.

   "build": "OUTPUT_DIR=public/blog gatsby build"
   
   # in Windows:
   
   "build": "cross-env OUTPUT_DIR=public/blog gatsby build"
   

2. In gatsby-config.js plugins array:

   `gatsby-plugin-prettier-build`;
   

   And with custom options (See options detail):

   {
     resolve: `gatsby-plugin-output`,
     options: {
       // default values
       publicPath: 'public',
       rmPublicFolder: false
     }
   }
