Astro Starter Kit: Basics

npm create astro@latest -- --template basics

🚀 Project Structure

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

/
├── public/
│   └── favicon.svg
├── src/
│   ├── components/
│   ├── layouts/
│   ├── pages/
│   ├── remark/
│   └── style/
└── 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.

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

Command	Action
`pnpm install`	Installs dependencies
`pnpm dev`	Starts local dev server at `localhost:4321`
`pnpm build`	Build your production site to `./dist/`
`pnpm preview`	Preview your build locally, before deploying
`pnpm astro ...`	Run CLI commands like `astro add`, `astro check`
`pnpm astro --help`	Get help using the Astro CLI

You can use :x to add classes or styles.

:::x{.demo}
::x[**Hello Arial**]{style="font-family: Arial"}
:::

use :i to add an icon.

:i{#icon-park:experiment}
