• A Gatsby plugin adds additional features to a Gatsby site. It is a standalone npm package.
• Gatsby plugin library https://www.gatsbyjs.com/plugins

Data Layer

• Source plugins pull data from their original location into the Gatsby GraphQL data layer.
• Use the GraphiQL endpoint (localhost:8000/___graphql) to explore data in the data layer and design GraphQL queries.
• Write GraphQL queries to pull data out of the data layer and into React components.
• To pull data into a “building block” component, use the useStaticQuery hook.
• To pull data into a page component, use a page query.
