Astro

--- title: Astro description: Install and configure Astro. --- ### Create project Start by creating a new Astro project: ```bash npm create astro@latest ``` ### Configure your Astro project You will be asked a few questions to configure your project: ```txt showLineNumbers - Where should we create your new project? ./your-app-name - How would you like to start your new project? Choose a starter template (or Empty) - Install dependencies? Yes - Do you plan to write TypeScript? Yes - How strict should TypeScript be? Strict - Initialize a new git repository? (optional) Yes/No ``` ### Add React to your project Install React using the Astro CLI: ```bash npx astro add react ``` Answer `Yes` to all the question prompted by the CLI when installing React. ### Add Tailwind CSS to your project Install Tailwind CSS using the Astro CLI: ```bash npx astro add tailwind ``` Answer `Yes` to all the question prompted by the CLI when installing Tailwind CSS. ### Edit tsconfig.json file Add the following code to the `tsconfig.json` file to resolve paths: ```ts {4-9} showLineNumbers { "compilerOptions": { // ... "baseUrl": ".", "paths": { "@/*": [ "./src/*" ] } // ... } } ``` ### Run the CLI Run the `shadcn-ui` init command to setup your project: ```bash npx shadcn-ui@latest init ``` ### Configure components.json You will be asked a few questions to configure `components.json`: ```txt showLineNumbers Would you like to use TypeScript (recommended)? no / yes Which style would you like to use? › Default Which color would you like to use as base color? › Slate Where is your global CSS file? › › ./src/styles/globals.css Do you want to use CSS variables for colors? › no / yes Where is your tailwind.config.js located? › tailwind.config.mjs Configure the import alias for components: › @/components Configure the import alias for utils: › @/lib/utils Are you using React Server Components? › no ``` ### Import the globals.css file Import the `globals.css` file in the `src/pages/index.astro` file: ```ts {2} showLineNumbers --- import '@/styles/globals.css' --- ``` ### Update astro tailwind config To prevent serving the Tailwind base styles twice, we need to tell Astro not to apply the base styles, since we already include them in our own `globals.css` file. To do this, set the `applyBaseStyles` config option for the tailwind plugin in `astro.config.mjs` to `false`. ```ts {3-5} showLineNumbers export default defineConfig({ integrations: [ tailwind({ applyBaseStyles: false, }), ], }) ``` ### Update tailwind.config.mjs When running `npx shadcn-ui@latest init`, your tailwind config for content will be overwritten. To fix this, change the `module.exports` to `export default` and the `content` section with the code below to your `tailwind.config.mjs` file: ```js {1-4} showLineNumbers export default { content: ["./src/**/*.{astro,html,js,jsx,md,mdx,svelte,ts,tsx,vue}"], } ``` ### That's it You can now start adding components to your project. ```bash npx shadcn-ui@latest add button ``` The command above will add the `Button` component to your project. You can then import it like this: ```astro {2,10} showLineNumbers --- import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button" --- Astro ```
