🚀 YOUR CHALLENGE, SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT Build a Star Gazer App!
In this month's challenge, we’ll be building a Star Gazer app that leverages one of NASA's amazing APIs and Astro's awesome benefits.
set NASA_API env variable with your own NASA token or use DEMO_API for testing purpose.
Inside of your Astro project, you'll see the following folders and files:
/
├── public/
│ └── favicon.ico
├── src/
│ ├── components/
│ │ └── Image.svelte
│ │ └── Carousel.svelte
│ ├── layouts/
│ │ └── Layout.astro
│ └── pages/
│ └── index.astro
└── package.json
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 or layouts.
Any static assets, like images, can be placed in the public/
directory.
All commands are run from the root of the project, from a terminal:
