Just one of the things I'm learning. https://github.com/hchiam/learning and https://github.com/hchiam/learning-frameworks

The idea: any JS framework --> output and serve just HTML. (Plus only the JS you need, when you need it.)

React and Vue and Svelte and Vanilla JS, etc. =(Astro)=> native HTML + JS

• default = no client-side JS by default on components
• client:load = immediately/always hydrate component with JS
• client:idle = when you're free
• client:visible = when visible

From scratch

mkdir new-project-directory
cd new-project-directory
npm init astro # follow instructions
npm install
npm start # http://localhost:3000/

Starting by testing out this repo

git clone https://github.com/hchiam/learning-astro.git && cd learning-template && npm install && npm start;

Deploy

npm run build # build output goes to /dist by default, so you can deploy from /dist

Welcome to Astro

🚀 Project Structure

Inside of your Astro project, you'll see the following folders and files:

/
├── public/
│   ├── robots.txt
│   └── favicon.ico
├── src/
│   ├── components/
│   │   └── Tour.astro
│   └── pages/
│       └── index.astro
└── package.json

Astro looks for .astro or .md files in the src/pages/ directory. Each page is exposed as a route based on its file name.

There's nothing special about src/components/, but that's where we like to put any Astro/React/Vue/Svelte/Preact components.

Any static assets, like images, can be placed in the public/ directory.

🧞 Commands

All commands are run from the root of the project, from a terminal:

Command	Action
npm install	Installs dependencies
npm run start	Starts local dev server at localhost:3000
npm run build	Build your production site to ./dist/
