Astro Tailwind Flowbite Template

This is a website template that uses Astro 3.0 along with Tailwind to create a static website for various smaller projects. I'm hoping to use this as a foundation for small projects in the future such as building friends or small businesses fast and simple static sites.

Walk through video:

This uses all the great features of Astro 3.0 like View Transitions API support, automatic asset optimization, better build output and more. You can read more about Astro 3.0 here.

This is a work in progress, so please feel free to send me a pull request for any improvements you make. Look at the contributing section below for more information.

Getting Started

• Clone or fork this repo.
• Run npm install to install all the dependencies.
• Run npm run dev to start the dev server.
• You can then view the site at http://localhost:4321/.

Changing Site Contents

Most of the site data lives in src/data/site.json. You can change the site title, description, social media links and more there. Make sure to use a JSON linter in case you make any mistakes!

Adding Pages

Add pages in the src/pages directory. Create a new file named pagename.astro and import the Layout and some varibales like so:

---
import Layout from "../layouts/Layout.astro";
import HeaderSmall from "../components/HeaderSmall.astro";

const title = "Contact";
const subtitle = "Contact me";
---

<Layout title="Contact">
  <div>
    <HeaderSmall title="{title}" subtitle="{subtitle}" />
  </div>
  <main>
    <div class="container">CONTENT HERE</div>
  </main>
</Layout>

Also note: you'll need to add the page to src/data/site.json in the pages array for the page to show up in the navigation. Or don't, it's your site. Maybe you don't want / need the new page in the nav.

Component Library

I'm using the Flowbite component library, which is a Tailwind CSS. You can find components here. If you'd like to add components simply add them to the src/components directory and import them into your page.

Site Logo

Replace the image in assets/logo.png with your own logo. If it's not square, you'll need to adjust the width and height in components/Nav.astro file line 55.

Site Favicon

Replace the image in public/favicon.svg with your own favicon.

Project Images

To Do.

Project images should be added to assets. You can set their image name in src/data/site.json in the projects array. You can also set the project title, description, and link there as well.

Site Colors

Colors for primary, secondary, and accent are set in the tailwind.config.cjs file. You can change them there to whatever you'd like. A tailwind pallete or even a hex or rgb value will work.

Site Fonts

To Do.
