gatsby-remark-normalize-paths

gatsby-remark-normalize-paths normalize your paths to be gatsby compliant.

It find absolute paths deeply in the frontmatter and the body of your markdown files and transform them to relative paths. If you have empty fields, it delete them (optional).

Usecase

You use a CMS (eg: Netlify-cms) to manage your markdown files but it do not format paths like gatsby want to.
You use gatsby-transformer-sharp and your images fields should not be empty to avoid the error GraphQL Error Field must not have a selection since type "String" has no subfields when you build,

Let's imagine your gatsby data structure is the following:

/
  ↳ content
    ↳ posts
      ↳ post-1.md
    ↳ images
      ↳ image-1.jpeg
      ↳ image-2.jpeg
      ↳ image-3.jpeg
      ↳ image-4.jpeg
      ↳ image-5.jpeg
  ↳ src
  ↳ public
  ↳ static

And your markdown files containing absolute paths:

---
title: "Post 1"
cover: "/content/images/image-1.jpg"
images:
    - "/content/images/image-2.jpg"
    - "/content/images/image-3.jpg"
    - "/content/images/image-4.jpg"
---

Lorem ipsum ![](/content/images/image-5.jpg) Lorem ipsum

In your markdown frontmatter or body, you can use absolute paths (/content/images/image-1.jpg) and it will be convert to relative paths (../images/image-1.jpg)

                    // without options
                    "gatsby-remark-normalize-paths"
                    // or
                    // with options
                    {
                        resolve: "gatsby-remark-normalize-paths",
                        options: {
                            pathFields: ["image", "cover"],
                        },
                    },
                ],
            },
        },
    ],
