This repository contains the example code for the Content Sites with Astro and Vue.js course.
Combining Vue.js with Astro for building content sites, like blogs or docs, makes for a blazing-fast site and an A+ developer experience. Why? Astro is a modern front-end framework that allows you to build with the JavaScript technology of your choice (think React, Vue, Svelte, and more) but doesn’t ship any JavaScript by default. This is known as an islands architecture, where we opt-in to JavaScript instead of vice-versa.
In this course, learn the basics of getting started with Astro by building a simple blog. Also, learn to integrate it with your favorite JavaScript framework Vue.js for templating that’s familiar and for sprinkling in interactivity only where required.

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.
