enhancement(gatsby-source-contentful) publishedAt and firstPublishedAt fields

[thijs-van-der-velden]

Summary

Currently content nodes only pick up the updatedAt and createdAt fields from the contentful API response. I would like to suggest a change to also include the publishedAt and firstPublishedAt fields.

Motivation

I am working on a project that requires us to sort a list of entries by their publish date.

Hello @thijs-van-der-velden!

That would indeed be a nice feature. Would you be interested in creating a PR that would add that functionality? You would likely need to modify this file in contentful source.

Also pinging @axe312ger.

The gatsby source plugin uses the sync api. The delivery/sync api does not have access to this attribute:

https://www.contentful.com/developers/docs/references/content-delivery-api/#/introduction/common-resource-attributes

But the new Contentful graphql api does support this attribute:

https://www.contentful.com/developers/docs/references/graphql/#/reference/schema-generation/sys-field

As soon the gatsby source plugin supports the contentful graphql api, this tickets should be solved automatically. (See disclaimer: https://www.contentful.com/developers/docs/references/graphql/#/introduction/basic-api-information)

I'll readd it to the GitHub project so we can keep track of this :)

Is this information available now? Having trouble locating it (7.6.1).

In the interim, I am able to derive this information from sys.revision, but ideally the date would be provided as well

@chawes13 no, you only have available what you see in GraphQL

The new version will contain the (first) publish date. see #31385
