Gatsby Theme Mercadolibre Store is a Gatsby theme that sources product listings from a Mercado Libre user and generates a static showcase site with a product listing page and a detail page for every item.
What is Gatsby Theme Mercadolibre Store?
Gatsby Theme Mercadolibre Store is a Gatsby theme that pulls the products listed by a specific Mercado Libre user and renders them as a static site. The theme takes the user's Mercado Libre listings as input and produces a product listing page plus one product detail page per listing as output. It runs on Gatsby, so the generated site consists of plain HTML files that can be hosted anywhere. The theme also supports MDX for creating additional pages with custom slugs and adding those pages to the site's navigation menu through configuration. The package is published on npm as @florantara/gatsby-theme-mercadolibre-store.
Key Features
- Product listing page — Displays all products from the configured Mercado Libre user, with links to each product detail page.
- Product detail pages — Each product gets its own generated page showing the product data sourced from Mercado Libre.
- MDX custom pages — Add pages like About or Contact with specific slugs and include them in the menu via site configuration.
- Netlify deployment button — The repository includes a one-click deploy button that connects to Netlify for instant hosting.
- Gatsby theme architecture — The package is structured as a Gatsby theme, letting you install it as a dependency and customize it without forking the code.
- Live demo — A running example is available at https://gatsby-theme-mercadolibre-store.netlify.com.
Who is it for?
- Mercado Libre sellers — Showcase your active listings on a dedicated static site without building a store from scratch.
- Gatsby developers — Start from a ready-made product catalog theme and extend it with MDX pages or custom components.
- Small businesses — Create a simple catalog site from existing Mercado Libre inventory, with no server-side code or database.
What can you do with it?
- Generate a product catalog — Connect a Mercado Libre user and automatically build a static listing page with links to each product's detail page.
- Publish custom content — Use MDX to add informational pages and link them from the menu, turning the catalog into a full business site.
- Deploy in one click — Use the Netlify deploy button to go from repository to live site in minutes.
How does it work?
The theme uses Gatsby's data layer to fetch the product list for a configured Mercado Libre user at build time and generate static pages for the listing and each product. For custom pages, you provide MDX files, and the theme adds them to the generated site with the slugs you specify. Menu items are managed through the theme configuration, so the navigation reflects both product pages and custom MDX pages.
