----
-
-## `Astro` global
-
-The `Astro` global is available in all contexts in `.astro` files. It has the following functions:
-
-### `Astro.fetchContent()`
-
-`Astro.fetchContent()` is a way to load local `*.md` files into your static site setup. You can either use this on its own, or within [Astro Collections](/core-concepts/collections).
-
-```jsx
-// ./src/components/my-component.astro
----
-const data = Astro.fetchContent('../pages/post/*.md'); // returns an array of posts that live at ./src/pages/post/*.md
----
-
-<div>
-{data.slice(0, 3).map((post) => (
- <article>
- <h1>{post.title}</h1>
- <p>{post.description}</p>
- <a href={post.url}>Read more</a>
- </article>
-))}
-</div>
-```
-
-`.fetchContent()` only takes one parameter: a relative URL glob of which local files you’d like to import. Currently only `*.md` files are supported. It’s synchronous, and returns an array of items of type:
-
-```js
-{
- /** frontmatter from the post.. example frontmatter:
- title: '',
- tag: '',
- date: '',
- image: '',
- author: '',
- description: '',
- **/
- astro: {
- headers: [], // an array of h1...h6 elements in the markdown file
- source: '' // raw source of the markdown file
- html: '' // rendered HTML of the markdown file
- },
- url: '' // the rendered path
- }[]
-```
-
-### `Astro.request`
-
-`Astro.request` returns an object with the following properties:
-
-| Name | Type | Description |
-| :------------- | :---- | :---------------------------------------------- |
-| `url` | `URL` | The URL of the request being rendered. |
-| `canonicalURL` | `URL` | [Canonical URL][canonical] of the current page. |
-
-⚠️ Temporary restriction: this is only accessible in top-level pages and not in sub-components.
-
-### `Astro.site`
-
-`Astro.site` returns a `URL` made from `buildOptions.site` in your Astro config. If undefined, this will return a URL generated from `localhost`.
-
-## Collections API
-
-### `collection` prop
-
-```jsx
-const { collection } = Astro.props;
-```
-
-When using the [Collections API](/core-concepts/collections), `collection` is a prop exposed to the page with the following shape:
-
-| Name | Type | Description |
-| :------------------------ | :-------------------: | :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `collection.data` | `Array` | Array of data returned from `data()` for the current page. |
-| `collection.start` | `number` | Index of first item on current page, starting at `0` (e.g. if `pageSize: 25`, this would be `0` on page 1, `25` on page 2, etc.). |
-| `collection.end` | `number` | Index of last item on current page. |
-| `collection.total` | `number` | The total number of items across all pages. |
-| `collection.page.current` | `number` | The current page number, starting with `1`. |
-| `collection.page.size` | `number` | How many items per-page. |
-| `collection.page.last` | `number` | The total number of pages. |
-| `collection.url.current` | `string` | Get the URL of the current page (useful for canonical URLs) |
-| `collection.url.prev` | `string \| undefined` | Get the URL of the previous page (will be `undefined` if on page 1). |
-| `collection.url.next` | `string \| undefined` | Get the URL of the next page (will be `undefined` if no more pages). |
-| `collection.params` | `object` | If page params were used, this returns a `{ key: value }` object of all values. |
-
-### `createCollection()`
-
-```jsx
-export async function createCollection() {
- return {
- async data({ params }) {
- // load data
- },
- pageSize: 25,
- routes: [{ tag: 'movie' }, { tag: 'television' }],
- permalink: ({ params }) => `/tag/${params.tag}`,
- };
-}
-```
-
-When using the [Collections API](/core-concepts/collections), `createCollection()` is an async function that returns an object of the following shape:
-
-| Name | Type | Description |
-| :---------- | :--------------------------------------: | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `data` | `async ({ params }) => any[]` | **Required.** Load an array of data with this function to be returned. |
-| `pageSize` | `number` | Specify number of items per page (default: `25`). |
-| `routes` | `params[]` | **Required for URL Params.** Return an array of all possible URL `param` values in `{ name: value }` form. |
-| `permalink` | `({ params }) => string` | **Required for URL Params.** Given a `param` object of `{ name: value }`, generate the final URL.\* |
-| `rss` | [RSS](/reference/api-reference#rss-feed) | Optional: generate an RSS 2.0 feed from this collection ([docs](/reference/api-reference#rss-feed)) |
-
-_\* Note: don’t create confusing URLs with `permalink`, e.g. rearranging params conditionally based on their values._
-
-⚠️ `createCollection()` executes in its own isolated scope before page loads. Therefore you can’t reference anything from its parent scope. If you need to load data you may fetch or use async `import()`s within the function body for anything you need (that’s why it’s `async`—to give you this ability). If it wasn’t isolated, then `collection` would be undefined! Therefore, duplicating imports between `createCollection()` and your Astro component is OK.
-
-#### RSS Feed
-
-You can optionally generate an RSS 2.0 feed from `createCollection()` by adding an `rss` option. Here are all the options:
-
-```jsx
-export async function createCollection() {
- return {
- async data({ params }) {
- // load data
- },
- pageSize: 25,
- rss: {
- title: 'My RSS Feed',
- description: 'Description of the feed',
- /** (optional) add xmlns:* properties to root element */
- xmlns: {
- itunes: 'http://www.itunes.com/dtds/podcast-1.0.dtd',
- content: 'http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/',
- },
- /** (optional) add arbitrary XML to <channel> */
- customData: `<language>en-us</language>
-<itunes:author>The Sunset Explorers</itunes:author>`,
- /** Format each item from things returned in data() */
- item: (item) => ({
- title: item.title,
- description: item.description,
- pubDate: item.pubDate + 'Z', // enforce GMT timezone (otherwise it’ll be different based on where it’s built)
- /** (optional) add arbitrary XML to each <item> */
- customData: `<itunes:episodeType>${item.type}</itunes:episodeType>
-<itunes:duration>${item.duration}</itunes:duration>
-<itunes:explicit>${item.explicit || false}</itunes:explicit>`,
- }),
- },
- };
-}
-```
-
-Astro will generate an RSS 2.0 feed at `/feed/[collection].xml` (for example, `/src/pages/$podcast.xml` would generate `/feed/podcast.xml`).
-
-⚠️ Even though Astro will create the RSS feed for you, you’ll still need to add `<link>` tags manually in your `<head>` HTML:
-
-```html
-<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="My RSS Feed" href="/feed/podcast.xml" />
-```
-
-## `import.meta`
-
-All ESM modules include a `import.meta` property. Astro adds `import.meta.env` through [Snowpack](https://www.snowpack.dev/).
-
-**import.meta.env.SSR** can be used to know when rendering on the server. Some times you might want different logic, for example a component that should only be rendered in the client:
-
-```jsx
-import { h } from 'preact';
-
-export default function () {
- return import.meta.env.SSR ? <div class="spinner"></div> : <FancyComponent />;
-}
-```

-title: Built-In Components
----
-
-Astro includes several builtin components for you to use in your projects. All builtin components are available via `import {} from 'astro/components';`.
-
-## `<Markdown />`
-
-```astro
----
-import { Markdown } from 'astro/components';
----
-<Markdown>
- # Markdown syntax is now supported! **Yay!**
-</Markdown>
-```
-
-See our [Markdown Guide](/guides/markdown-content) for more info.
-
-<!-- TODO: We should move some of the specific component info here. -->
-
-## `<Prism />`
-
-```astro
----
-import { Prism } from 'astro/components';
----
-<Prism code={`const foo = 'bar';`} />
-```
-
-This component provides syntax highlighting for code blocks. Since this never changes in the client it makes sense to use an Astro component (it's equally reasonable to use a framework component for this kind of thing; Astro is server-only by default for all frameworks!).

-To configure Astro, add an `astro.config.mjs` file in the root of your project. All settings are optional. Here are the defaults:
-
-```js
-export default {
- projectRoot: '.', // Where to resolve all URLs relative to. Useful if you have a monorepo project.
- src: './src', // Path to Astro components, pages, and data
- pages: './src/pages', // Path to Astro/Markdown pages
- dist: './dist', // When running `astro build`, path to final static output
- public: './public', // A folder of static files Astro will copy to the root. Useful for favicons, images, and other files that don’t need processing.
- buildOptions: {
- // site: '', // Your public domain, e.g.: https://my-site.dev/. Used to generate sitemaps and canonical URLs.
- sitemap: true, // Generate sitemap (set to "false" to disable)
- },
- devOptions: {
- port: 3000, // The port to run the dev server on.
- // tailwindConfig: '', // Path to tailwind.config.js if used, e.g. './tailwind.config.js'
- },
- // component renderers which are enabled by default
- renderers: ['@astrojs/renderer-svelte', '@astrojs/renderer-vue', '@astrojs/renderer-react', '@astrojs/renderer-preact'],
-};
-```
-
-## Snowpack Config
-
-Astro is powered internally by Snowpack. You can configure Snowpack directly by creating a `snowpack.config.js` file. See [snowpack.dev](https://www.snowpack.dev/reference/configuration) for full documentation on this file.

-title: UI Renderer Reference
----
-
-Astro is designed to support your favorite UI frameworks. [React](https://npm.im/@astrojs/renderer-react), [Svelte](https://npm.im/@astrojs/renderer-svelte), [Vue](https://npm.im/@astrojs/renderer-vue), and [Preact](https://npm.im/@astrojs/renderer-preact) are all built-in to Astro and supported out of the box. No configuration is needed to enable these.
-
-Internally, each framework is supported via a framework **renderer.** A renderer is a type of Astro plugin that adds support for a framework. Some are built-in, but you can also provide your own third-party renderers to add Astro support for new frameworks.
-
-## What is a renderer?
-
-A renderer is an NPM package that has two responsiblities:
-
-1. _render a component to a static string of HTML_ at build time
-2. _rehydrate that HTML to create an interactive component_ on the client.
-
-Take a look at any one of Astro's built-in [`renderers`](https://github.com/snowpackjs/astro/tree/main/packages/renderers) to see this in action. We'll go into more detail in the following sections.
-
-## Building Your Own Renderer
-
-> **Building a renderer?** We'd love for you to contribute renderers for popular frameworks back to the Astro repo. Feel free to open an issue or pull request to discuss.
-
-A simple renderer only needs a few files:
-
-```
-/my-custom-renderer/
-├── package.json
-├── index.js
-├── server.js
-└── client.js
-```
-
-### Package Manifest (`package.json`)
-
-A renderer should include any framework dependencies as package dependencies. For example, `@astrojs/renderer-react` includes `react` & `react-dom` as dependencies in the `package.json` manifest.
-
-```js
-// package.json
-"name": "@astrojs/renderer-react",
-"dependencies": {
- "react": "^17.0.0",
- "react-dom": "^17.0.0"
-}
-```
-
-This means that Astro users don't need to install the UI framework packages themselves. The renderer is the only package that your users will need to install.
-
-### Renderer Entrypoint (`index.js`)
-
-The main entrypoint of a renderer is a simple JS file which exports a manifest for the renderer. The required values are `name`, `server`, and `client`.
-
-Additionally, this entrypoint can define a [Snowpack plugin](https://www.snowpack.dev/guides/plugins) that should be used to load non-JavaScript files.
-
-```js
-export default {
- name: '@astrojs/renderer-xxx', // the renderer name
- client: './client.js', // relative path to the client entrypoint
- server: './server.js', // optional, relative path to the server entrypoint
- snowpackPlugin: '@snowpack/plugin-xxx', // optional, the name of a snowpack plugin to inject
- snowpackPluginOptions: { example: true }, // optional, any options to be forwarded to the snowpack plugin
- knownEntrypoint: ['framework'], // optional, entrypoint modules that will be used by compiled source
- external: ['dep'] // optional, dependencies that should not be built by snowpack
- polyfills: ['./shadow-dom-polyfill.js'] // optional, module scripts that should be loaded before client hydration.
- hydrationPolyfills: ['./hydrate-framework.js'] // optional, polyfills that need to run before hydration ever occurs.
-};
-```
-
-### Server Entrypoint (`server.js`)
-
-The server entrypoint of a renderer is responsible for checking if a component should use this renderer, and if so, how that component should be rendered to a string of static HTML.
-
-```js
-export default {
- // should Component use this renderer?
- check(Component, props, childHTML) {},
- // Component => string of static HTML
- renderToStaticMarkup(Component, props, childHTML) {},
-};
-```
-
-#### `check`
-
-`check` is a function that determines whether a Component should be "claimed" by this renderer.
-
-In it's simplest form, it can check for the existence of a flag on Object-based components.
-
-```js
-function check(Component) {
- return Component.isMyFrameworkComponent;
-}
-```
-
-In more complex scenarios, like when a Component is a `Function` without any flags, you may need to use `try/catch` to attempt a full render. This result is cached so that it only runs once per-component.
-
-```js
-function check(Component, props, childHTML) {
- try {
- const { html } = renderToStaticMarkup(Component, props, childHTML);
- return Boolean(html);
- } catch (e) {}
- return false;
-}
-```
-
-#### `renderToStaticMarkup`
-
-`renderToStaticMarkup` is a function that renders a Component to a static string of HTML. There's usually a method exported by frameworks named something like `renderToString`.
-
-```js
-import { renderToString } from 'xxx';
-
-function renderToStaticMarkup(Component, props, childHTML) {
- const html = renderToString(h(Component, { ...props, innerHTML: childHTML }));
- return { html };
-}
-```
-
-Note that `childHTML` is an HTML string representing this component's children. If your framework does not support rendering HTML directly, you are welcome to use a wrapper component. By convention, Astro uses the `astro-fragment` custom element to inject `childHTML` into. Your renderer should use that, too.
-
-```js
-import { h, renderToString } from 'xxx';
-
-const Wrapper = ({ value }) => h('astro-fragment', { dangerouslySetInnerHTML: { __html: value } });
-
-function renderToStaticMarkup(Component, props, childHTML) {
- const html = renderToString(h(Component, props, h(Wrapper, { value: childHTML })));
- return { html };
-}
-```
-
-### Client Entrypoint (`client.js`)
-
-The client entrypoint of a renderer is responsible for rehydrating static HTML (the result of `renderToStaticMarkup`) back into a fully interactive component. Its `default` export should be a `function` which accepts the host element of the Component, an `astro-root` custom element.
-
-> If your framework supports non-destructive component hydration (as opposed to a destructive `render` method), be sure to use that! Following your framework's Server Side Rendering (SSR) guide should point you in the right direction.
-
-```js
-import { hydrate } from 'xxx';
-
-export default (element) => {
- return (Component, props, childHTML) => {
- hydrate(h(Component, { ...props, innerHTML: childHTML }), element);
- };
-};
-```
-
-Note that `childHTML` is an HTML string representing this component's children. If your framework does not support rendering HTML directly, you should use the same wrapper component you used for the server entrypoint.
-
-```js
-import { h, hydrate } from 'xxx';
-import SharedWrapper from './SharedWrapper.js';
-
-export default (element) => {
- return (Component, props, childHTML) => {
- hydrate(h(Component, props, h(SharedWrapper, { value: childHTML })), element);
- };
-};
-```
