📁 Project Structure

Inside your Astro project, you'll find the following folders and files:

		/
		├── public/
		│   ├── favicon.ico
		│   ├── robots.txt
		├── src/
		│   ├── layouts/
		│ 	│ ├── Layout.astro 
		│ 	├── pages/

• public/: This directory contains important public files for your project.

  • favicon.ico: Customize the website's favicon.ico to match your branding.

  • robots.txt: Modify the Sitemap directive in robots.txt to point to your site's sitemap: Sitemap: [YOUR_URL]/sitemap-index.xml.

• src/consts.ts: This file contains configuration constants for your Astro project, including metadata and default settings.

• src/layouts/: Layout components for your pages are located here. You typically won't need to modify Layout.astro as it's dynamically generated by src/consts.ts.

• src/pages/: Create as many pages as needed in this directory. Each file automatically becomes a route based on its name.

• src/assets/: Although not included by default, you can create this directory to optimize your images using Astro's image optimization capabilities.

• src/components/: Although not included by default, you can create this directory to store various types of components used in your project.

• src/content/: While this directory isn't included by default, you can create it to manage your content.

  • config.ts: Define your content collections in this file and customize them to fit your specific requirements.

• package.json: Your project's configuration file.

Don't forget to update the base URL of your project by modifying the site value in astro.config.mjs to match your project's URL.

Feel free to adapt and organize your project's structure as needed. You can also create folders like src/assets/, src/components/, src/content/ to better align with your project's goals and content management needs.
