Astro Starter Kit: Minimal-ish

This is Kristoff's minimal-ish starter template for Astro. It includes a few extras to help you get started, but is still very minimal.

✨ Features

• <Container> component to center your content and provide padding
• <SkipLink> component for accessibility
• Global CSS reset
• Starter theme with CSS variables
• Pre-configured import aliases for @components, @layouts, @assets, and @content
• Samples showing the following:
  • importing & using an image
  • importing & using a component
  • importing & using a Markdown file as a component
  • using CSS variables for theming
  • importing and using a Google Font with @fontsource

🚀 Project Structure

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

/
├── public/
├── src/
│   └── 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 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
