Advanced Usage

Advanced features and customization options

Discover advanced features and customization options to get the most out of our platform.

Configuration Options

Custom Themes

Create your own theme by modifying the astro.config.mjs file:

import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';

export default defineConfig({
  theme: {
    extends: {
      colors: {
        primary: '#0066cc',
        secondary: '#5856d6',
      }
    }
  }
});

Performance Optimization

Code Splitting

Our platform automatically handles code splitting, but you can fine-tune it:

export default defineConfig({
  build: {
    splitting: {
      chunks: 'all',
      minSize: 20000,
    }
  }
});

Advanced Features

Custom Integrations

Create powerful integrations using our API:

class CustomIntegration {
  name = 'custom';
  hooks = {
    'astro:build:start': () => {
      console.log('Build starting...');
    },
    'astro:build:done': () => {
      console.log('Build complete!');
    }
  };
}

Middleware

Add custom middleware for advanced routing and authentication:

export const onRequest = async (context, next) => {
  // Authenticate request
  const user = await authenticate(context.request);
  if (!user) {
    return new Response('Unauthorized', { status: 401 });
  }
  
  // Continue to next handler
  return next();
};

Best Practices

1. Component Architecture

  • Keep components small and focused
  • Use TypeScript for better type safety
  • Implement proper error boundaries

2. State Management

For complex applications:

  • Use stores for global state
  • Implement proper data fetching strategies
  • Consider using signals for reactive state

3. Testing

We recommend:

  • Unit tests for utilities
  • Component tests for UI
  • End-to-end tests for critical paths

Deployment

Custom Server Configuration

For advanced deployment scenarios:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name example.com;
    
    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    }
}
