Unable to make optional fileds.

[everythinginjs]

Hey @zhesha , I have encountered the same problem. This is the problem that can NOT be handled by gatsby source strapi but the solution that worked for me is here.

1. do not leave optional fields and fill out all of them on your local strapi.
2. yarn add gatsby-plugin-schema-snapshot on your gatsby project. docs.
3. add this object into your gatsby-config file

{
  // Path where the type definitions will be saved to
  path: `schema.gql`,
  update: true,
}

4. now try to build your project with yarn build after that you would see schema.gql in the root of your gatsby project.
5. change update: true, to update: false, in the gatsby-plugin-schema-snapsho config.
6. go ahead and make what ever you would like to be optional.

NOTE: never switch to update: true with empty fields because schema.gql would not create with all fields.

hope it works for you.

assuming your component is named elements-background, change to this:

createTypes(`
    type STRAPI__COMPONENT_ELEMENTS_BACKGROUND implements Node {
        color: String
    }
    type STRAPI_TOP_BAR implements Node {
        background: STRAPI__COMPONENT_ELEMENTS_BACKGROUND @link(from: "id", by: "background___NODE")
    }
`)

because the component is a relation, you need to link it

The solution with gatsby-plugin-schema-snapshot works fine. Thanks, @everythinginjs. But I have a bunch of problems so I decided not to update, and stay in the previous version.
