# Astro Starter Kit: Minimal
|
||||
# radie-help
|
||||
|
||||
Content-driven help site built with Astro and MDX.
|
||||
|
||||
## Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
- `node >= 22.12.0`
|
||||
- `npm`
|
||||
|
||||
## Basic Setup
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install dependencies:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
npm create astro@latest -- --template minimal
|
||||
npm install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> 🧑🚀 **Seasoned astronaut?** Delete this file. Have fun!
|
||||
2. Start the local dev server:
|
||||
|
||||
## 🚀 Project Structure
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
npm run dev
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Inside of your Astro project, you'll see the following folders and files:
|
||||
3. Open `http://localhost:4321`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Available Commands
|
||||
|
||||
| Command | What it does |
|
||||
| --- | --- |
|
||||
| `npm run dev` | Start the local Astro dev server |
|
||||
| `npm run build` | Build the site for production |
|
||||
| `npm run preview` | Preview the production build locally |
|
||||
|
||||
## How Content Works
|
||||
|
||||
- Each top-level folder inside `src/content/` is a content section.
|
||||
- The current site includes one section: `src/content/website/`.
|
||||
- Files in a section can be `.md` or `.mdx`.
|
||||
- Each content file must include frontmatter with:
|
||||
|
||||
```md
|
||||
---
|
||||
title: Page Title
|
||||
description: Short summary
|
||||
---
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- `index.mdx` becomes the landing page for that section.
|
||||
Example: `src/content/website/index.mdx` maps to `/website`
|
||||
- Any other file becomes a subpage under that section.
|
||||
Example: `src/content/website/registration.mdx` maps to `/website/registration`
|
||||
|
||||
## Adding A New Content Subpage
|
||||
|
||||
To add a new page inside an existing section:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create a new `.md` or `.mdx` file in the relevant folder under `src/content/`.
|
||||
2. Add the required frontmatter:
|
||||
|
||||
```md
|
||||
---
|
||||
title: New Page
|
||||
description: What this page covers
|
||||
---
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. Add the page body content.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
/
|
||||
├── public/
|
||||
├── src/
|
||||
│ └── pages/
|
||||
│ └── index.astro
|
||||
└── package.json
|
||||
src/content/website/account-recovery.mdx
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Astro looks for `.astro` or `.md` files in the `src/pages/` directory. Each page is exposed as a route based on its file name.
|
||||
This page will be available at:
|
||||
|
||||
There's nothing special about `src/components/`, but that's where we like to put any Astro/React/Vue/Svelte/Preact components.
|
||||
```text
|
||||
/website/account-recovery
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Any static assets, like images, can be placed in the `public/` directory.
|
||||
## Adding A New Content Section
|
||||
|
||||
## 🧞 Commands
|
||||
If you want a new group of subpages, create a new folder in `src/content/` and then register it in config.
|
||||
|
||||
All commands are run from the root of the project, from a terminal:
|
||||
### 1. Create the folder and files
|
||||
|
||||
| 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 |
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
## 👀 Want to learn more?
|
||||
```text
|
||||
src/content/mobile-app/
|
||||
├── index.mdx
|
||||
└── notifications.mdx
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Feel free to check [our documentation](https://docs.astro.build) or jump into our [Discord server](https://astro.build/chat).
|
||||
`index.mdx` should describe the section landing page. Any additional files become subpages for that section.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Update `src/content.config.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
Add a collection for the new folder and export it:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
const mobileApp = defineCollection({
|
||||
loader: glob({ base: "./src/content/mobile-app", pattern: "**/*.{md,mdx}" }),
|
||||
schema: articleSchema,
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
export const collections = {
|
||||
website,
|
||||
mobileApp,
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Update `src/config/content.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
Add the new collection name so routing and navigation include it:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
export const collectionNames = ["website", "mobileApp"] as const;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Run the site locally
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
npm run dev
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Verify that:
|
||||
|
||||
- the new section appears on the home page
|
||||
- the section index page loads
|
||||
- the new subpages resolve under the expected URL path
|
||||
|
||||
## Contributor Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Keep one topic per file.
|
||||
- Use `index.mdx` only for a section landing page.
|
||||
- Prefer lowercase, hyphenated filenames for clean URLs.
|
||||
- If you create a new top-level content folder, update both `src/content.config.ts` and `src/config/content.ts`.
