    /*
     * Gatsby's data processing layer begins with “source”
     * plugins. Here the site sources its data from mongoDB collection documents.
     */
    {
      resolve: `gatsby-source-mongodb`,
      options: { dbName: `local`, collection: `documents` },
    }
  ],

Plugin options

• dbName: indicates the database name that you want to use
• collection: the collection name within Mongodb
• server: contains the server info, with sub properties address and port ex. server: { address: ds143532.mlab.com, port: 43532 },
• auth: the authentication data to login a Mongodb collection, with sub properties user and password. ex. auth: { user: admin, password: 12345 }

How to query : GraphQL

Find below a global pageQuery to query all MongoDB document nodes. All the documents in Mongodb of a certain collection will be pulled into Gatsby.

query PageQuery {
    allMongoDbDocField {
      edges {
        node {
           id
           url
           name
        }
      }
