## Installation
```bash
bun add github:thaske/astro-theme-console
```
## Usage
### Using Components
Import components directly from the theme, and centralize shared metadata in a `src/consts.ts` file (just like the example project):
```astro
---
import Layout from "@thaske/astro-theme-console/layouts/Layout.astro";
import Header from "@thaske/astro-theme-console/components/Header.astro";
import Footer from "@thaske/astro-theme-console/components/Footer.astro";
import PostListItem from "@thaske/astro-theme-console/components/PostListItem.astro";
import { ANALYTICS_ID, SITE_DESCRIPTION, SITE_TITLE } from "../consts";
---
<Layout
title={SITE_TITLE}
description={SITE_DESCRIPTION}
analyticsId={ANALYTICS_ID}
>
<h1>Hello World</h1>
</Layout>
```
Example `src/consts.ts`:
```ts
export const SITE_TITLE = "mysite";
export const SITE_DESCRIPTION = "A minimal, terminal-style blog";
export const ANALYTICS_ID = "G-XXXXXXXXXX";
```
### Configuration
The theme expects the following structure for blog posts:
```
src/
content/
blog/
post-1.md
post-2.mdx
```
Each blog post should have frontmatter like:
```yaml
---
title: "Post Title"
description: "Post description"
pubDate: 2024-01-01
tags: ["tag1", "tag2"]
draft: false
---
```
### Google Analytics
To enable Google Analytics, pass your tracking ID to the Layout component:
```astro
<Layout analyticsId="G-XXXXXXXXXX">
<!-- content -->
</Layout>
```
## Example Site
