How to get custom remarks in markdown with gatsby-transformer-remark?

Question

My markdown has some extra remarks and looks like this:

---
path: "/"
date: "2018-10-12"
title: "xxxx"
description: "desccc"
---

some of the text

How can I get the description?

{
  allMarkdownRemark(
    sort: { order: DESC, fields: [frontmatter___date] }
    limit: 1000
  ) {
    edges {
      node {
        frontmatter {
          path
          title
          date
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Answer 1

Well, that head part of the markdown document is most commonly referred as frontmatter and is automatically transformed for you so just add the description field to your graphql query inside the frontmatter { ... } structure and use it as your would use the title field for example.
