🚀 Project Structure

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

1
├── public/
2
├── src/
3
│   ├── assets/
4
│   ├── components/
5
│   ├── content/
6
│   ├── layouts/

├── README.md
10
├── package.json
11
└── tsconfig.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.

The src/content/ directory contains "collections" of related Markdown and MDX documents. Use getCollection() to retrieve posts from src/content/blog/, and type-check your frontmatter using an optional schema. See Astro's Content Collections docs to learn more.

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:
