Infrastructure
Inside of your Astro project, you'll see the following folders and files:
/
āāā public/
ā āāā favicon.svg
āāā src/
ā āāā components/
ā ā āāā Card.astro
ā āāā layouts/
ā ā āāā Layout.astro
ā āāā pages/
ā āāā index.astro
āāā 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 |
|---|---|
npm install | Installs dependencies |
npm run dev | Starts local dev server at localhost:3000 |
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 preview |
npm run astro --help | Get help using the Astro CLI |
