Fix: How to integrate gatsbyjs and panellum-react (VR) (Failures in deployment)

 Integrating Gatsby.js with panellum-react, a library for embedding 360-degree panoramic images or virtual tours in React applications, can be a bit tricky due to the nature of Gatsby's static site generation. However, with the right approach, it is possible. Here's a general guide on how to do this:


1. **Create a Gatsby Project**: If you haven't already, create a Gatsby project by running:


   ```bash

   npx gatsby new my-panoramic-app

   cd my-panoramic-app

   ```


2. **Install Dependencies**: Install the necessary dependencies for Gatsby and panellum-react:


   ```bash

   npm install gatsby panellum-react react react-dom

   ```


3. **Create Panoramic Images**: Create or obtain your 360-degree panoramic images that you want to display.


4. **Create Gatsby Pages**: In your Gatsby project, create pages where you want to display the panoramas. For example, you could create a page under the `src/pages` directory. You can use GraphQL to fetch data dynamically for your panoramas.


5. **Integrate panellum-react**: In your Gatsby pages, integrate panellum-react to display your panoramas. Import the `PannellumViewer` component and use it to render your panoramas.


   ```jsx

   import React from "react";

   import { PannellumViewer } from "pannellum-react";


   const MyPanoramaPage = () => {

     return (

       <div>

         <h1>My 360-Degree Panorama</h1>

         <PannellumViewer

           image="path/to/panorama.jpg"

           config={{

             // Pannellum configuration options here

           }}

         />

       </div>

     );

   };


   export default MyPanoramaPage;

   ```


6. **Customize panellum-react Configuration**: Customize the `config` object to configure the behavior and appearance of your panoramic viewer. Refer to the panellum-react documentation for available options.


7. **Build Your Gatsby Site**: Run the following command to build your Gatsby site:


   ```bash

   gatsby build

   ```


8. **Deploy Your Site**: Depending on your deployment platform (e.g., Netlify, Vercel, GitHub Pages), deploy your Gatsby site as you normally would.


9. **Test the Deployment**: After deployment, access your Gatsby site to ensure the panoramic images are displayed correctly.


Keep in mind that due to the static nature of Gatsby, you may need to configure your Gatsby site to dynamically fetch and display different panoramas, especially if you have a large number of them. You can use GraphQL queries to fetch data from a CMS or an API and then use the retrieved data to generate pages with panellum-react components.


Also, ensure that you've set up your project and paths correctly, and that the paths to your panoramic images are accurate in your Gatsby project.


Remember to consult the documentation for both Gatsby and panellum-react for more detailed information and customization options.
