GraphQL Static Queries

@mike connor Noticed it too. The newer Gatsby version (im currently using 2.8.22) is a lot cleaner. It's using hooks, it's a standard return statement, and the SEO/helmet piece has been moved.

But you can still test your new data by putting description in the query, and then calling it in the return with {data.site.siteMetadata.description}

Pretty handy and awesome!

this is relevant to chp. 6.

Gatsby v2.1.0 introduces useStaticQuery, a new Gatsby feature that provides the ability to use a React Hook to query with GraphQL at build time.

The old way uses a render prop. The new way uses a hook. To me - seems like less typing and easier to look at. Interesting to put Scott's Header code up side by side w/ the Header component in the ver 2.1 code.

It moved to the SEO component =)

Gastsby changes a lot - you are using a more recent version

I should say, where does Helmet come from?

Where does come from? My site didn't build with that tag.
