Keystone + Astro

Keystone can be used as a data engine in Astro applications without having to host a separate Keystone server. This is made possible by Keystone's getContext API.

This example shows how this can be achieved with Astro SSR. It shows how to pass through a session to Keystone using withSession() to filter posts based on the browser used - this example is purely for the demonstration of session and access control when using getContext in Astro.

Running the Example

To run the example for yourself you will perform the following step:

• Clone the Repo
• Run pnpm install
• cd into the examples/framework-astro folder (cd examples/framework-astro)
• Run the Keystone Server to set up some posts:
  • Run pnpm keystone dev
  • Open a web browser at http://localhost:4000
  • Create some posts
• Run Astro to see your posts:
  • Run pnpm dev
  • Open a web browser at http://localhost:3000
  • See you posts as they are created

Notes

The astro.config.mjs file contains a vite configuration object, this should not be required outside of the Keystone Monorepo
