      resolve: `gatsby-source-cloudinary`,
      options: {
        cloudName: process.env.CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME,
        apiKey: process.env.CLOUDINARY_API_KEY,
        apiSecret: process.env.CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET,
        // resourceType: `image`,

        // Add the `gatsbyImageData` resolver to `CloudinaryMedia`
        transformTypes: [`CloudinaryMedia`],
      },
    },
    `gatsby-plugin-image`,
  ],
};

⚠️ Gotchas

Gatsby pulls the data from Cloudinary when it builds; you need to trigger a rebuild whenever new media files are added to the Cloudinary account.
f_auto and q_auto Cloudinary transformations are applied automatically to the secure_url and url value optimizing the delivered media quality and format.
If you use this plugin together with gatsby-transformer-cloudinary the secureDistribution, cname and privateCdn options do not carry over, and there is no way to set them in that plugin.
