🚀 Project Structure

Inside of your Astro project, you'll see the following folders and files:

/
├── public/
├── src/
│   └── pages/
│       └── index.astro
└── package.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.

Any static assets, like images, can be placed in the public/ directory.

Commands

All commands are run from the root of the project, from a terminal:

Command	Action
npm install	Installs dependencies
npm run dev	Starts local dev server at localhost:4321
npm run build	Build your production site to ./dist/
npm run preview	Preview your build locally, before deploying
npm run astro ...	Run CLI commands like astro add, astro check
npm run astro -- --help	Get help using the Astro CLI

What does this project use?

This is a project written in Typescript programming language, with the use of Astro web development framework which allows us to use multiple frontend frameworks, including the React UI development library.

• TypeScript: the programming language "JavaScript with types". It doesn't render anything, it's a programming language.
• React: a library specifically for building user interfaces focusing on rendering interactive UIs.
• Astro: a web framework and a static site generator used for building static websites which supports multiple frontend frameworks. It renders static HTML with optional JavaScript for interactivity.

Setup and configuration:

Follow Astro's official website: Install and set up Astro.

Translation:

Translate all the astro pages (i.e. all the astro files under the folder pages).

A tsx file can't contain an astro file; an astro file can contain a tsx file. npm install react-i18next i18next [email protected] --save https://react.i18next.com/getting-started and https://www.npmjs.com/package/i18next-browser-languagedetector/v/3.0.0 if there are vulnerabilities: follow the terminal's instructions.
