This repo shows examples of View Transitions in Astro, most dramatically between the blog index & individual blog posts.
The following codes enable VTs; note the transition:name
:
src/components/BaseHead.astro
:
import { ViewTransitions } from 'astro:transitions';
...
<ViewTransitions />
src/layouts/BlogPost.astro
:
<html lang="en" transition:name="root" transition:animate="slide">
...
{heroImage && <img width={720} height={360} src={heroImage} alt="" transition:name={slug} />}
src/pages/blog/index.astro
:
<html lang="en" transition:name="root" transition:animate="slide">
...
<img src={post.data.heroImage} alt={post.data.title} transition:name={post.slug} />
src/pages/index.astro
:
<html lang="en" transition:name="root" transition:animate="slide">

Inside of your Astro project, you'll see the following folders and files:
├── public/
├── src/
│ ├── components/
│ ├── content/
│ ├── layouts/
│ └── pages/
├── astro.config.mjs
├── README.md
├── package.json
└── 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.
