Not clear how to display markdown that is not coming from a file

I have a graphql API for a blog that contains fields that have formatting with markdown/mdx. I’d like to render that markdown using Gatsby. The docs of gatsby-transformer-markdown only show how to do this when the markdown is coming from static files. However I’d like to know how to do this with plain strings in gatsby-node.js and createPage.

@jfrolich Yes, an alternative is to define custom resolvers for such fields (using createResolvers API) and parse markdown in those resolvers. In fact, our example for gatsby-source-graphql does something similar.

See post field resolver for inspiration:

Looks like this is resolved with help from @vladar and @LekoArts (thanks folks)

Let’s go ahead and close this. Thanks!
