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.

The `src/content/` directory contains "collections" of related Markdown and MDX documents. Use `getCollection()` to retrieve posts from `src/content/blog/` , and type-check your frontmatter using an optional schema. See [Astro's Content Collections docs ](https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/content-collections/ ) to learn more.
2021-09-06 03:31:10 -05:00
Any static assets, like images, can be placed in the `public/` directory.
