A next-generation static-site generator with partial hydration. Use your favorite JS framework and ship bare-minimum JS (or none at all!).
npm install astro
TODO: astro boilerplate
Add a dev
npm script to your /package.json
file:
{
"scripts": {
"dev": "astro dev ."
}
}
Then run:
npm run dev
By default, Astro outputs zero client-side JS. If you'd like to include an interactive component in the client output, you may use any of the following techniques.
MyComponent:load
will renderMyComponent
on page loadMyComponent:idle
will userequestIdleCallback
to renderMyComponent
as soon as main thread is freeMyComponent:visible
will use anIntersectionObserver
to renderMyComponent
when the element enters the viewport
If you‘ve used Svelte’s styles before, Astro works almost the same way. In any .astro
file, start writing styles in a <style>
tag like so:
<style>
.scoped {
font-weight: bold;
}
</style>
<div class="scoped">I’m a scoped style</div>
Astro also supports Sass out-of-the-box; no configuration needed:
<style lang="scss">
@use "../tokens" as *;
.title {
color: $color.gray;
}
</style>
<h1 class="title">Title</h1>
Supports:
lang="scss"
: load as the.scss
extensionlang="sass"
: load as the.sass
extension (no brackets; indent-style)
We also automatically add browser prefixes using Autoprefixer. By default, Astro loads the default values, but you may also specify your own by placing a Browserslist file in your project root.
Add a build
npm script to your /package.json
file:
{
"scripts": {
"dev": "astro dev .",
"build": "astro build ."
}
}
Then run:
npm run build
Now upload the contents of /_site_
to your favorite static site host.
