By default, this template comes pre-configured with Tina CMS.
Now you can create your posts directly from the CMS without the need to do it manually.
If you decide to use Tina, it's not necessary to add any properties to the Markdown files, Tina does it automatically.
Example:
tina.mp4
The documentation for Tina CMS can be found here
Tina is completely optional, and you can remove it, and it will still function in the same way.

Recommended extensions for VSCode:
- Clone or fork the repository:
[email protected]:danielcgilibert/blog-template.git- Install dependencies:
pnpm install- Run the development server:
pnpm dev- Edit the configuration file src/data/site.config.ts for the basic blog metadata.
- Update the astro.config.mjs file at the root of the project with your own domain.
- Modify the files in the /public folder:
- favicon
- robots.txt -> update the Sitemap url to your own domain
- open-graph -> the open-graph is the image that will be displayed when sharing the blog link. For posts, the preview image is the post cover.
- Edit the social networks in the Header component - src/components/Header.astro, change the URL to your social network.
To add a new category to your blog, simply go to the src/data/categories.ts file and add it to the array.
Example:
export const CATEGORIES = [
'JavaScript',
'React',
'new category here' <---
] as const🚨 Zod checks whether the category is not correctly written or does not exist in the properties of the markdown document. It will throw an error when building the application. 🚨
Adding a post is as simple as adding a .md or .mdx file to the blog folder at the path src/content/blog. The filename will be used to create the slug/URL of the page.
For example, if you have a file named jsx-and-react.md, it will be transformed into: http://yourdomain.com/post/jsx-and-react/
To activate draft mode, add the property draft: true to the file, and it will no longer be displayed on the blog.
Example :
title: MacBook Pro 2022
description: 'The new MacBook Pro 2022 is here. With the Apple M2 chip, a new design, and more, the new MacBook Pro is the best laptop Apple has ever made.'
pubDate: 'Jul 02 2022'
heroImage: '../../assets/bg.jpg'
category: 'Category 1'
tags: ['JavaScript', 'css', 'HTML5', 'GitHub']
draft: true <---- Title
- Description
- pubDate
- heroImage (post cover)
- category (Choose a category from src/data/categories.ts)
- draft (no need to include it, by default it's false)
- tags
The schema for posts is located at src/content/config.ts. You can modify any parameter, for example, by adding a maximum of 80 characters for titles: title: z.string().max(80). For more information, refer to the zod documentation.
