Astro Starter Kit: Basics
npm create astro@latest -- --template basics
🧑🚀 Seasoned astronaut? Delete this file. Have fun!
🚀 Project Structure
Inside of your Astro project, you'll see the following folders and files:
/ ├── public/ │ └── favicon.svg ├── src/ │ ├── components/ │ │ └── Card.astro │ ├── layouts/ │ │ └── Layout.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 dev | Starts local dev server at localhost:3000 |
npm run build | Build your production site to ./dist/ |
npm run preview | Preview your build locally, before deploying |
npm run astro ... | Run CLI commands like astro add, astro check |
npm run astro --help | Get help using the Astro CLI |
