Getting Started with Astro

Astro is a modern static site builder that lets you build faster websites with less client-side JavaScript.

Why Astro?

• Fast by default: Astro sends zero JavaScript to the browser by default
• Flexible: Use your favorite UI frameworks (React, Vue, Svelte, etc.) or just vanilla HTML
• Content-focused: Perfect for blogs, documentation sites, and content-driven websites

Installation

npm create astro@latest

Your First Component

Create a new .astro file in your src/components directory:

---
const name = 'World';
---

<h1>Hello {name}!</h1>

<style>
  h1 {
    color: purple;
  }
</style>

That’s it! Astro will compile this to static HTML.
