You might also be interested in the docs section on local plugins, or the source plugin tutorial.

Using Gatsby's GraphQL integration layer

This example site is also intended as a direct comparison to the using-unstructured-data example, which illustrates how to use an "unstructured data" approach (or, without making use of the GraphQL integration layer).

Sourcing data using a local plugin

This example uses a local plugin to:

1. Load data from the PokéAPI’s REST endpoints
2. Process that data into Gatsby's node format
3. Use the createNode action to add the data to Gatsby’s GraphQL layer

The gatsby-node.js file of the local plugin includes detailed comments on the process.
