Caution: if you're following along with version 3.1.0 (or later) of Astro, about 30 minutes when you're doing the Header, the logo won't show up. You have to add `.src` to the logo variable being used in the `src` attribute of the `img` tag. My (very) little contribution. Thanks Brad!
Life is strange... We ran away from statics sites in the 2000`s, now we use the power of js to remove js to go back to static pages (and its very good).
kinda like tailwind, we run away from inline styles for decades until people realize that if you tweak how inline styles work just slightly they're really good.
One important thing I forgot to mention that you'll probably figure out anyway, is there is an Astro VS Code extension. You'll want to install that for syntax highlighting in Astro components. Hope you enjoy the course!
Thanks so much for making this, and for including the API aside even though you weren't planning on using one for the content. I'm just learning Astro and this was extremely helpful.
The most what I love about Astro is that it reminds me micro frontends, but in this case the "micro frontends" are the components. Idk but it feels amazing to me that you have the possibility to mix other technologies inside it. Micro frontends are smaller web apps in different frameworks/technologies made into one huge web app and thats why Astro reminds me micro frontends and i love it, overall the modern way of making stuff... you have separate components etc... its also lovely when you wanna to work with ur friend who works in different technology or stack or even maybe he doesnt likes some tools ure using, so u still can somehow cooperate together like each other in ur own stack and make it work, obviously it can be tricky, but this is the possibility and i love it.
What a coincidence, just a few seconds ago, I was wondering if Brad is going to do a crash course for Astro soon, and BOOOOM here's this video that shocks me right away
Been following you for years. Great video as always. Thanks to the Astro team for creating this. Most small local businesses that I work with just want a static site, this really fits the bill.
I thought I am the only crazy kid using sublime text as a modern notepad replacement but now I see Mr. Traversy himself using it, I'm not that crazy after all. Love your work man. Thank you
Yes! Been waiting on my favorite youtubers to post about this framework that I've been using for a few months now. Going to love diving into what you say about it.
Hi Brad, just add "astro' -> "HTML' under "include languages' in vscode built-in emmet extension. Seems to work. Also, need to install the Astro VS Code extension by Astro. Only then the syntax highlighting, file type identification and autocomplete will work.
You don't need the !, so you don't need to do that. Just type: html and it will auto suggest 3 options. Hit the HTML5 one. The same when creating a tag div.card for example. Or am I missing something?
Woah! What A nice timing, I am about to gather learning resources about this and suddenly your video notification appear on my screen, What a nice timing.
Brilliant course thanks Brad. Would there be the possibility of you doing a followup tutorial of adding to it with a NetlifyCMS (or similar) so we can add pages and blog posts that way?
thank you for this course Brad! Request - a tutorial on ArchieML + Astro/Sveltekit? Or some kind of markdown that is more robust with a framework? A lot of editorial people use aml and it can be confusing to get set up
at around 26 minutes when the css is applied, my hello world did not center and it was driving me crazy. I watched step by step twice and reviewed the css, but I ended up just added a text-align: center style. Also, awesome tutorial. Excited to be learning this while I finish up school and go into a dev position next summer.
in the style sheet, check for h1, h2 { text-align: center; } Make sure to place it above the @meda and .element tags, just place it right below the other style section for the h1/2 classes.
Great video Brad. Cannot say the same about Astro, or in particular the plug-ins that become useless after Astro 1.0.0 went out. Staying with Gatsby for now.
If possible please make a react front end for Laravel. This is a nice combination that is not seen often. Naturally, thank you for for all the videos you provide. They are immense help.
I was having trouble with my blog posts frontmatter not being read. I read through the Astro Docs and seen theirs was enclosed in “ “ and that is what I had to do to make it work. So it would be title: “Your title” and so on. You didn’t seem to have to do that on yours but it wouldn’t work for me till I went back and put everything in parentheses.
I really enjoyed this guide, and it is honestly making it painful to find and watch other Astro videos due to the lack of foresight. You've always seem to bring that into the guides. Do you have any more Astro projects or guides in the pipeline? I really do hope you make some more begginer friendly guides on Astro.
I didn't even know about copilot. I just installed it as I'm following along and damn this is amazing. Edit: Now I want to remove it because it's genuinely scaring me lol
Dude, I didn't even knew that something this powerful also existed....It has so much to explore🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.....If astro is so useful then why it is not popular than react and other frameworks...??
we went from loading js with html to loading html with js to generate html with js and back to loading js in html. Now we will repeat this cycle again with web assembly and pyscript.
Excellent video!!! Question/Issue: > when I run the 'npm run build' command > i don't get a useable dist directory > How do I get a directory like astro-website-theme on your githb ?>? Thanks ahead of time for your help!
I think you can re-enable emmet in newer versions of vscode, but the new way is just to start typing "html" and a list of options will appear one of which is "html:5"
I love all of Brad's tutorials. They're awesome! At 26:45 here, I couldn't get the styles to take effect. "Hello World" remained on the left margin and did not center. I can't find what I missed.
@@JavaScriptJolt Not yet. I moved on to another tutorial. The problem is that the final repo is nothing like the process along the way. I have to start it all over again and go step by step. My plan is to create a github repo (private to start) and make tiny steps with commits at each step as something works. I'll come back and let you know what I find out.
@@JavaScriptJolt I'm doing it all slowly and making commits at every code advance. The first thing I notice is that his server updates automatically. You can see the styling take effect immediately when he changes the name from style.css to global.css. I have to kill my server and restart it on almost every saved code change. And still, even with the right name for the css file, none of the styling is taking effect for me. Even if I copy the styles/global.css file from his repo it does not center the Hello World h1 element in the "Hello World". Is nobody else having this problem?
@@SilvaOnTube I did everything for the website. Everything worked for me but the global style sheet. I am going to troubleshoot it for a while; I will move on to another project if it does not work soon. I will let you know if I find a solution.
Great content, thank you! At 21:55 what's the advantage of setting the interface for the props? Sorry if you answer that later. I'll keep watching but just didn't want to forget.
Hi Brad I have been following your videos from past months as i am a newbie to web development i have a doubt , the crash course you have made on react express dom are they covered most part of the topics or only the main things or basic
Hey Brad, great video. You can disable postCSS extension for prettier formatting and autocomplete in css files. I had the same issue and it was driving me nuts
A wonderful video again, always a first class content!! I'm wondering if there is a guide to use md files to dynamically fill html tags as you do in the video. I'm searching with a lot of key words but nothing comes up, do you have any suggestion to go deep on this topic? I'd like to see if it could be a nice solution for small personal sites, before to use a headless cms to fetch the data.
