Components usage

Layout Components

The BaseHead, Footer, Header, and SideBar components are already included in the layout system. To change the website content you can edit the content of these components.

SideBar

In the Sidebar you can change your profilePicture/logo, links to all your website pages, and your social icons.

You can change your avatar shape using mask classes.

The used social-icons are SVG form BoxIcons pack. You can replace the icons in the SideBarFooter component

To add a new page in the sidebar go to the SideBarMenu component.

<li><a class="py-3 text-base" id="home" href="/">Home</a></li>

Note: In order to change the sidebar menu's active item, you need to setup the prop sideBarActiveItemID in the BaseLayout component of your new page and add that id to the link in the SideBarMenu

TimeLine

The timeline components are used to confirm the CV.

<div class="time-line-container">
  <TimeLineElement title="Element Title" subtitle="Subtitle">
    Content that can contain
    <div>divs</div>
    and <span>anything else you want</span>.
  </TimeLineElement>
  ...
</div>

Card & HorizontalCard

The cards are primarly used for the Project component. They include a picture, a title, and a description.

<HorizontalCard title="Card Title" img="imge_url" desc="Description" url="Link
URL" target="Optional link target (_blank default)" badge="Optional badge"
tags={['Array','of','tags']} />

Adding a Custom Component

To add a custom component, you can create a .astro file in the components folder under the source folder.

Components must follow this template. The --- represents the code fence and uses Javascript and can be used for imports.

The HTML component is the actual style of your new component.

---
// Component Script (JavaScript)
---
<!-- Component Template (HTML + JS Expressions) -->

For more details, see the astro components documentation here.

Layouts

Include BaseLayout in each page you add and PostLayout to your post pages.

The BaseLayout defines a general template for each new webpage you want to add. It imports constants SITE_TITLE and SITE_DESCRIPTION which can be modified in the ../config folder. Data placed there can be imported anywhere using import.

config.ts

Where you need to define your content collections, we define our content schemas too.

Post format

Add code with this format in the top of each post file.

---
title: "Post Title"
description: "Description"
pubDate: "Post date format(Sep 10 2022)"
heroImage: "Post Hero Image URL"
---

Static pages

The other pages included in the template are static pages. The index page belongs to the root page. You can add your pages directly in the /pages folder and then add a link to those pages in the sidebar component.

Feel free to modify the content included in the pages that the template contains or add the ones you need.

Theming

To change the template theme change the data-theme attribute of the <html> tag in BaseLayout.astro file.

You can choose among 30 themes available or create your custom theme. See themes available here.

Sitemap

The Sitemap is generated automatically when you build your website in the root of the domain. Please update the robots.txt file in the public folder with your site name URL for the Sitemap.

Deploy

You can deploy your site on your favourite static hosting service such as Vercel, Netlify, GitHub Pages, etc.

The configuration for the deployment varies depending on the platform where you are going to do it. See the official Astro information to deploy your website.
