Standalone Astro 6 site in /site (decoupled from the /web app monorepo): landing page, /blog with one post (Content Layer), and terms/privacy/cookie legal pages. Pure Astro, server-rendered to static HTML. - Static by default via @astrojs/vercel adapter; any route can opt into SSR with `export const prerender = false` (deploys as a Vercel Function). - SPA-style navigation with <ClientRouter />, transition:persist on the header (no icon flash), and viewport prefetch — ~6 KB gzip JS, no React. - Deploy on Vercel by setting Root Directory to 'site' (no vercel.json needed). See site/README.md for dev and deploy instructions. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

# site
|
|
|
|
Public-facing marketing/content site for the KiCad WebAssembly project: landing
|
|
page, blog, and legal pages. Built with **Astro 6**.
|
|
|
|
This is a **standalone** project — it is intentionally decoupled from the `/web`
|
|
app monorepo (which is the product itself: React frontend + Fastify backend).
|
|
It uses **npm** (not the monorepo's pnpm) and has its own `package-lock.json`.
|
|
|
|
## What it ships
|
|
|
|
- Static by default: every page is prerendered to HTML and ships **zero client
|
|
JavaScript**. A visitor downloads HTML + CSS only — no React/JS bundle.
|
|
- SSR-capable: the Vercel adapter is wired in, so any individual route can be
|
|
switched to per-request server rendering without ripping anything out (see
|
|
below).
|
|
|
|
## Routes
|
|
|
|
| Route | Source |
|
|
| --------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `/` | `src/pages/index.astro` |
|
|
| `/blog` | `src/pages/blog/index.astro` |
|
|
| `/blog/<id>` | `src/pages/blog/[slug].astro` |
|
|
| `/terms` | `src/pages/terms.astro` |
|
|
| `/privacy` | `src/pages/privacy.astro` |
|
|
| `/cookies` | `src/pages/cookies.astro` |
|
|
|
|
Blog posts are Markdown files in `src/content/blog/`, validated by the schema in
|
|
`src/content.config.ts`. Add a post by dropping a new `.md` file there with
|
|
`title`, `description`, and `pubDate` frontmatter.
|
|
|
|
## Local development
|
|
|
|
Requires **Node ≥ 22.12** (Astro 6 requirement).
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd site
|
|
npm install
|
|
npm run dev # http://localhost:4321
|
|
npm run build # outputs to dist/ (+ .vercel/output for the adapter)
|
|
npm run preview # serve the production build locally
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## SSR per route
|
|
|
|
Pages are static by default. To render a specific page or endpoint on demand
|
|
(per request, as a Vercel Function), add this to its frontmatter:
|
|
|
|
```astro
|
|
---
|
|
export const prerender = false;
|
|
---
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
That's the only change needed — the `@astrojs/vercel` adapter in
|
|
`astro.config.mjs` already provides the server runtime. The rest of the site
|
|
stays static.
|
|
|
|
## Deploying to Vercel
|
|
|
|
The `@astrojs/vercel` adapter emits the Vercel Build Output API format, so **no
|
|
`vercel.json` is required**.
|
|
|
|
1. Push this repo to GitHub.
|
|
2. Vercel dashboard → **New Project** → import this repo.
|
|
3. Click **Edit** next to **Root Directory** and set it to **`site`**. This is
|
|
the standard way to deploy a project that lives in a subdirectory.
|
|
4. Vercel auto-detects the **Astro** framework preset and the package manager
|
|
from the lockfile. Leave the build/install commands at their defaults.
|
|
5. Deploy. Static pages are served from the CDN; any route with
|
|
`prerender = false` is deployed as a Vercel Function automatically.
|
|
|
|
Note: do **not** use `vercel.json` for URL rewrites with Astro — use Astro's
|
|
`redirects` option in `astro.config.mjs` instead.
