[gatsby-source-graphql] How to download images from remote schema?

[tomsseisums]

Summary

I am looking for a way to download images so that Sharp could take over, and have been following this issue to do so: #2902 (comment)

Apparently, onCreateNode doesn't give deep information when using gatsby-source-graphql, since only the "root" node is created. Also, the setFieldsOnGraphQLNodeType doesn't help.

The only relevant node being this:

onCreateNode
{ id: '0e63a2e0-c90e-55a2-995f-73b1a7959dd8',
  typeName: '<Project>',
  fieldName: '<project>',
  parent: null,
  children: [],
  internal:
   { type: 'GraphQLSource',
     contentDigest: 'f46f568173ddc3eb99427dad09a9c96d',
     ignoreType: true,
     owner: 'gatsby-source-graphql' } }

Where do I hook in to createRemoteFileNode?

Currently it's not possible to mix 3rd party schemas with goodies like sharp transformation from gatsby - we get 3rd party schema as-is. We do have plans to work on that - see gatsbyjs/rfcs#11 and issues linked there

Ouch, this hurts a lot. 😢

Great to hear there's future plans to add support for mixing 3rd party schemas. Definitely seems like it's better to write a custom source if you need these sorts of integration in the meantime.

We have a CMS with a GraphQL endpoint. I was beyond happy to see that you could use the GraphQL endpoint directly with v2 instead of querying all data manually in gatsby-node and then requerying that data within the pages and components.
It's unfortunate to see that this way you can't use the transformer plugins. I'm gonna check out gatsbyjs/rfcs#11 and see if I can contribute to support plugins.

Great solution here
