Inside the Astro project, you'll see the following folders and files:
/
βββ public/
β βββ favicon.svg
βββ src/
β βββ components/
β β βββ Card.astro
β βββ layouts/
β β βββ Layout.astro
β βββ pages/
β βββ index.astro
βββ 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.
