Welcome to Astro Launchpad

Demo site: https://astro-launchpad.vercel.app/

This is an Astro 2.0 template project that can be used to launch decent projects with Astro, boosters included (hence the name).

You'll find this project configured with SSG and SSR routes together in one Astro project using Astro 2.0's hybrid output. It is configured to deploy to Vercel for hosting, SSR and API microservices (serverless and edge, as you wish), for which even API clients are automatically generated in pages/api-client.

Turborepo is used to manage the monorepo. This project follows the turbo best practices for eslint, prettier, tsconfig, code sharing and build caching (local and remote).

Project layout

This project deploys on Vercel. You can clone this repo and deploy it on Vercel. Make sure to set the root directory to: apps/server as this is the primary Astro project we deploy!

You can find the Vercel configuration in apps/server/vercel.json. It makes sure that turbo is used. I've also decided to activate Remote Caching.

App

You can have many apps in parallel that could re-use code from the packages. They are always located in the apps folder. By default, one server app is created and serves are the primarily deploy target for Vercel.

• apps/server: An Astro 2.0 hybrid rendering-enabled project. Implements the application logic, all the pages, application data, API microservice endpoints etc. pp.

The project is also pre-configured with @vercel/analytics, preact, astrojs-service-worker, @astrojs/image, astro-robots-txt, astro-sitemap, astro-webmanifest, eslint, browserslist, dotenv, prettier, tsconfig custom base config.

Image optimization

This project comes with the sharp package for local image optimization pre-configured. Make sure to run in case that you're running into issues like: 'Something went wrong installing the "sharp" module':

brew uninstall vips (in case it is already installed via brew)

npm install --ignore-scripts=false --foreground-scripts --verbose sharp
