5 • Beef up your blog

Check in: Unit 5 ⁠-⁠ Astro API

Now that you have some blog posts, let’s use Astro’s API to work with your files!

You can find the code at this point in the tutorial on GitHub or StackBlitz.

Check your code against this example, or if you’ve just joined us, fork on StackBlitz to start coding along in your browser from here.

In this unit, you’ll supercharge your blog with an index page, tag pages, and an RSS feed.

Along the way, you’ll learn how to use:

  • Astro.glob() to access data from files in your project
  • getStaticPaths() to create multiple pages (routes) at once
  • The Astro RSS package to create an RSS feed
