Fetch new content in development

[adrienpoly]

Hello

Thanks for this excellent source plugin. While in development I was wondering if there is a way to force to refresh the GraphQl nodes when I update Airtable data.

Currently, the only solution I found was to kill my dev server and start it again.

Maybe there is another trick?

Thanks

@adrienpoly This is something I was looking into as well-- from what I understand, this would only be possible if Airtable themselves integrated Webhooks. Here is a popular feature request thread on precisely this topic:

https://community.airtable.com/t/webhooks-for-records/1966

As for avoiding a dev server restart but still doing things manually, it seems Gatsby has implemented an endpoint you can send a POST to, which triggers a data refresh. It isn't well documented, I've never tried it (gatsby develop is fast enough for me) but these two threads might help you get there:

gatsbyjs/gatsby#3293
gatsbyjs/gatsby#3054

This is really a gatsby.js topic and not airtable specific. Good luck, let me know if you find a good solution!
