+# API specification
+
+Gatsby's APIs are tailored conceptually to some extent after React.js which
+makes sense as users of Gatsby will necessarily also be users of React.js. I
+think there's a lot of wins to making Gatsby feel as familiar as possible as
+that'll ease adoption.
+
+The two top priorities of the API are a) enable a broad and robust plugin
+ecosystem and b) on top of that a broad and robust theme ecosystem (themes
+are on the back burner btw until after v1 comes out).
+
+## Plugins
+
+Plugins can extend Gatsby in many ways:
+
+* Sourcing data (e.g from the filesystem or an API or a database)
+* Transforming data from one type to another (e.g. a markdown file to HTML)
+* Creating pages (e.g. a directory of markdown files all gets turned into
+* pages with URLs derived from their file names).  Modifying webpack config
+* (e.g. for styling options, adding support for other compile-to-js
+* languages) Adding things to the rendered HTML (e.g. meta tags, analytics JS
+* snippits like Google Analytics) Writing out things to build directory based
+* on site data (e.g. service worker, sitemap, RSS feed)
+
+A single plugin can use multiple APIs to accomplish its purpose. E.g. the
+plugin for the css-in-js library [Glamor
+](/docs/packages/gatsby-plugin-glamor/)
+
+1. modifies the webpack config to add its plugin
+2. adds a Babel plugin to replace React's default createElement
+3. modifies server rendering to extract
+out the critical CSS for each rendered page and inline the CSS in the
+`<head>` of that HTML page.
+
+Plugins can also depend on other plugins.
+[The Sharp plugin](/docs/packages/gatsby-plugin-sharp/)
+exposes a number of high-level APIs for transforming images that several
+other Gatsby image plugins depend on.
+[gatsby-transformer-remark](/docs/packages/gatsby-transformer-remark/)
+does basic markdown->html transformation but exposes an API to allow other
+plugins to intervene in the conversion process e.g.
+[gatsby-remark-prismjs](/docs/packages/gatsby-remark-prismjs/)
+which adds highlighting to code blocks.
+
+Transformer plugins are decoupled from source plugins. Transformer plugins
+simply look at the media type of new nodes created by source plugins to
+decide if they can transform it or not. Which means that a markdown
+transformer plugin can easily transform markdown from any source without any
+other configuration e.g. from file, a code comment, or external service like
+Trello which supports markdown in some of its data fields.
+
+See [the full list of (official only for now — adding support for community
+plugins later) plugins](/docs/plugins/). 
+
+# API
+
+## Concepts
+
+
+* *Page* — a site page with a pathname, a template component, and optional graphql query and layout component
+* *Layout Component* — surrounds a page and (eventually) can optionally have a parent layout component as well as a graphql query
+* *Template Component* — responsible for rendering N pages. Can optionally have a graphql query
+* *Component extensions* — extensions that are resolvable as components. `.js` and `.jsx` are supported by core. But plugins can add support for other compile-to-js languages.
+* *Dependency* — Gatsby tracks automatically dependencies between different objects e.g. a page can depend on certain nodes. This allows for hot reloading, caching, incremental rebuilds, etc.
+* *Node* — a data object
+* *Node Field* — a field added by a plugin to a node that it doesn't control
+* *Node Link* — a connection between nodes that gets converted to GraphQL relationships (is there a name for this?). Can be created in a variety of ways as well as automatically inferred. Parent/child links from nodes and their transformed derivative nodes are first class links.
+
+## Operators
+
+* *Create* — make a new thing
+* *Get* — get an existing thing
+* *Delete* — remove an existing thing
+* *Replace* — replace an existing thing
+* *Set* — merge into an existing thing
+
+## Extension APIs
+
+Gatsby has multiple processes. The most prominent is the "bootstrap" process.
+It has several subprocesses. One tricky part to their design is that they run
+both once during the initial bootstrap but also stay alive during development
+to continue to respond to changes. This is what drives hot reloading that all
+Gatsby data is "alive" and reacts to changes in the environment.
+
+The bootstrap process is as follows:
+
+load site config -> load plugins -> source nodes -> transform nodes -> create
+graphql schema -> create pages -> compile component queries -> run queries ->
+fin
+
+Once the initial bootstrap is finished, for the development server we start
+`webpack-dev-server` and a simple express server for serving files and for a
+production build, we start building the css then javascript then HTML with
+webpack.
+
+During these processes there are various extension points where plugins can
+intervene. All major processes have a `onPre` and `onPost` e.g.
+`onPreBootstrap` and `onPostBootstrap` or `onPreBuild` or `onPostBuild`.
+During bootstrap, plugins can respond at various stages to APIs like
+`onCreatePages`, `onCreateBabelConfig`, and `onSourceNodes`.
+
+At each extension point, Gatsby identifies the plugins which implement the
+API and calls them in serial following their order in the site's
+`gatsby-config.js`.
+
+In addition to extension APIs in node, plugins can also implement extension
+APIs in the server rendering process and the browser e.g. `onClientEntry` or
+`onRouteUpdate`
+
+The three main inspirations for this API and spec are React.js' API
+specifically @leebyron's email on the React API
+(https://gist.github.com/vjeux/f2b015d230cc1ab18ed1df30550495ed), this talk
+"How to Design a Good API and Why it Matters" by Joshua Bloch who designed
+many parts of Java. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heh4OeB9A-c&app=desktop,
+and [Hapi.js](https://hapijs.com/api)' plugin design.
