Getting Started

1. Clone the repo

git clone https://https://github.com/izmttk/astro-mecure.git
cd astro-mecure

2. Install dependencies

npm install
# or if you want to develop the site
npm install -D

3. Run the dev server

npm run dev

4. Build and Preview

npm run build
npm run preview

5. Deploy

You can deploy your site to any static hosting provider.

But when you enable giscus comments, you need to set HTTP header Allow-Access-Control-Origin to * or giscus.app in your server. Otherwise, you will get a CORS error. This is necessary for giscus custom theme to work properly.

Commands

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
npm run build	Build your production site to /dist/
npm run preview	Preview your build locally, before deploying
npm run create-post	Create a new post in /src/content/blog/
npm run create-component	Create a new component in /src/components/

Special Fields

Some fields are of type Image, you can provide a string or an ImageMetadata object.

If it's a string, it will be kept as is. If it's an ImageMetadata object, it will be processed by astro built-in optimization.

If you want to process your image with astro, you can write your config like this:

  // or even using dymatic import
  background: import('./assets/background.jpg')
}

Url

Some fields are url strings which can be clicked to navigate to the target page. But if you want to set an internal link, you can use the url utility function to generate the url. It will join the base url of the site and the provided path.

  // internal link: /base-path/your-path
  link: url('/your-path'),
}

Icon

Some fields are icon strings which can be used to show an icon. The format of the icon is <pack>:<icon>, such as tabler:home. You can explore more icons in Icônes.
