Astro collection integration

[florian-lefebvre]

Hi there! I'm planning to integrate Keystatic to an existing Astro app that uses collections (from v2). How does Keystatic integrates with it?

I think it could be useful to talk about this in the docs as well

Hey Florian!

You're absolutely right — this is something we need to add to the docs.

The good news is Keystatic works really well with Astro collections. You can skip the whole Keystatic Reader API and use the content collections instead.

And it keeps getting better as Astro adds new features like:

• support for YAML and JSON formats in collections
• hybrid rendering with "opt-out" of static render

We'll definitely add docs for this, but in the meantime you may find this video I made a few months ago somewhat useful:

Awesome! I'll check it out and let you know if I have any question about it 👍
