Astro Starter Kit: Blog

Create a blog with Astro and deploy it on Cloudflare Workers as a static website.

Features:

• ✅ Minimal styling (make it your own!)
• ✅ 100/100 Lighthouse performance
• ✅ SEO-friendly with canonical URLs and OpenGraph data
• ✅ Sitemap support
• ✅ RSS Feed support
• ✅ Markdown & MDX support

Getting Started

Outside of this repo, you can start a new project with this template using C3 (the create-cloudflare CLI):

npm create cloudflare@latest -- --template=cloudflare/templates/astro-blog-starter-template

A live public deployment of this template is available at https://astro-blog-starter-template.templates.workers.dev

🚀 Project Structure

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:

Command	Action
npm install	Installs dependencies
npm run dev	Starts local dev server at localhost:4321
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
npm run build && npm run deploy	Deploy your production site to Cloudflare
