Using Astro Components

Mastering Astro Components

Components are the building blocks of modern web applications. In Astro, components are particularly powerful because they can be rendered at build time for optimal performance.

Creating Your First Component

---
// Button.astro
export interface Props {
  variant?: 'primary' | 'secondary';
  size?: 'sm' | 'md' | 'lg';
}

const { variant = 'primary', size = 'md' } = Astro.props;
---

<button class={`btn btn-${variant} btn-${size}`}>
  <slot />
</button>

Best Practices

  • Use TypeScript interfaces for props
  • Implement proper accessibility
  • Keep components focused and reusable
  • Leverage Astro’s build-time rendering
