## Features

- **High-Performance Minimal Architecture**: Built on [Astro](https://astro.build/) Static Site Generation (SSG), with no CSS / UI framework dependencies. Achieves a perfect 100/100 Lighthouse score across all categories.
- **Internationalization (i18n) & SEO**:
  - Built-in Simplified Chinese, English, and Japanese translations, powered by [`ts-intl-astro`](https://github.com/aaakul/ts-intl).
  - Subpath-based static multilingual routing (e.g., `/zh-Hans/`, `/en-US/`, `/ja-JP/`).
  - Smart language redirect: automatically selects the site language based on language preference cookie or browser language.
  - Automatic generation of multilingual SEO tags (`hreflang` / `x-default` / Open Graph).
  - Automatic generation of sitemap, `robots.txt`, and per-language RSS feeds.
- **Offline Full-Text Search**: Integrated [Pagefind](https://pagefind.app/) static search engine, zero configuration required.
- **Modern Markdown / MDX Writing Experience**:
  - Type-safe content collections based on Zod and [Astro Content Layer](https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/content-collections/).
  - Code highlighting powered by [Expressive Code](https://expressive-code.com/).
  - Built-in utility MDX components: file tree ([`FileTree`](https://starlight.astro.build/en/guides/components/#file-tree)), step-by-step instructions ([`Steps`](https://starlight.astro.build/en/guides/components/#steps)), tabs ([`Tabs`](https://starlight.astro.build/en/guides/components/#tabs)), and GitHub-style alert blockquotes ([`remark-github-blockquote-alert`](https://github.com/jaywcjlove/remark-github-blockquote-alert))
    .
- **Other Features**: Support for [Disqus](https://disqus.com/) comment system and [Microsoft Clarity](https://clarity.microsoft.com/) site analytics.

## Getting Started

### Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/Aaakul/astro-plain.git
   cd astro-plain
   ```

2. Install dependencies:

   ```bash
   # npm
   npm install

   # pnpm
   pnpm install

   # bun
   bun install
   ```

3. Start the development server:

   ```bash
   # npm
   npm run dev

   # pnpm
   pnpm run dev

   # bun
   bun --bun run dev
   ```

   The development server runs at `http://127.0.0.1:4321` by default.

> [!NOTE]
> `Pagefind` relies on static build output to generate its index. You must run the build command at least once before using it in the development environment for the first time.
> After adding or modifying posts, the dev server will not automatically regenerate the search index.

## Configuration

### Environment Variables

Refer to the comments in `.env.example` to create a `.env` file, where you can set `SITE_URL`, `BASE_PATH`, as well as Disqus and Clarity services.

### Modifying Site Title and Description

Modify the following fields in the translation files `i18n/messages/*.ts`:

- `common.header_title`
- `common.site_title`
- `common.site_description`

### Replacing Favicons and Images

Replace the following files:

- `public/favicon.ico`
- `public/favicon.svg`
- `public/apple-touch-icon.png`
- `public/static/images/og.jpg`
- `src/assets/*`

## Content Creation

Content files are located in `src/content/`, with schemas defined in `src/content.config.ts`.

### Hero Section

Corresponding files are located at `src/content/mdx/<language-code>/hero.mdx`.

### Posts (`src/content/blog/`)

Both Markdown and MDX formats are supported. Post Frontmatter example:

```yaml
---
title: "Post Title" # Required
translationKey: "unique-key" # Required: used to associate posts across different language versions
language: "zh-Hans" # Required: language code, must be declared in languageNameMap
date: "2026-08-30T10:00:00Z" # Required: ISO 8601 format
summary: "Post summary" # Optional: used for list display and SEO
lastmod: "2026-08-30T12:00:00Z" # Optional: last modified date
isCanonical: true # Optional: set as canonical language version (generates x-default/canonical)
draft: false # Optional: drafts are excluded from builds
authors: ["default"] # Optional: author list
categories: ["Tech"] # Optional
tags: ["Astro"] # Optional
image: "@/assets/banner.jpg" # Optional: post cover image
enableComments: false # Optional: whether to enable comments, defaults to true
---
```

> [!NOTE]
> Multilingual association (`translationKey`): For the same post in different languages, declare the same `translationKey` in their respective Frontmatter, and the template will automatically generate language switcher links and hreflang tags.

### Authors (`src/content/author/<language-code>/`)

The default author file is `default.mdx`. Example:

```yaml
---
name: "Author Name" # Required
language: "zh-Hans" # Required
avatar: "@/assets/avatar.svg"
occupation: "Occupation"
company: "Company Name"
email: "[email protected]"
link:
  github: "https://github.com/username"
---
```

### Project Showcase (`src/content/project/`)

language: "zh-Hans" # Required: language code
website: "https://example.com"
image: "@/assets/project-preview.png"

```

### Adding a New Language

1. Add the language code to `languageNameMap` in `site.config.ts` (e.g., `"fr-FR": "Français"`).
2. Create the corresponding translation dictionary file under `i18n/messages/` (e.g., `fr-FR.ts`).
3. Import and register the dictionary in `createI18n` in `i18n/index.ts`.
4. Create an author file containing at least `default.mdx` under `src/content/author/<language-code>/`.

## Deployment

The project outputs pure static files upon build completion, with the output directory being `dist`.

### Example: Cloudflare Pages

1. Fork this repository to your own GitHub account.

2. Log in to the [Cloudflare Dashboard](https://dash.cloudflare.com), click **Compute -> Workers and Pages -> Create Application -> Continue to Pages**, and connect your GitHub repository.

3. Configure build settings:

   - **Build command**:

     ```bash
     npm run build
     ```

   - **Build output directory**: `dist`

   - **Environment variables**: Set `SITE_URL` to the domain after deployment (e.g., `https://example.pages.dev`), and configure Disqus and Clarity variables as needed.

4. Save and deploy. Any subsequent push to the `main` branch will automatically trigger a new build and deployment.
