External JSON endpoint

Great framework, exporting to static is brilliant. However, I have an use case here which I’m not sure is it covered by the documentation.

My JSON file is hosted in AWS S3, having that said, I’m not able to host put my files in src/data/

I tried to define an absolute path at gatsby-config.js:

{
  resolve: `gatsby-source-filesystem`,
  options: {
    name: `tnc`,
    path: `<absolutepath/>.json`
  }
},

Note: <absoultepath/> is just a reference placeholder.

this doesn’t work as it will prompt me this error. “The path passed to gatsby-source-filesystem does not exist on your file system:”

Is there any reference to my use case?

Hi, I may have use case where this error is a bit annoying: I am using netlify-cms to create my data store I then use this data for the build. When I delete all the data of a folder i configured with g-s-fs then of course after pull new data that folder is deleted.

Would you consider, instead of throwing an error, to allow a graceful info message of missing folders?
