Astro minimum Version: Astro v4.0

This Integration is 2 parts. Firstly, there is the API portion that uses the @ts-ghost/core-api[^1] to create the link between astro and GhostCMS. From there we move to the Second Part, which is a theme pre-programmed to pull ALL of its data from GhostCMS[^1] iteself instead of storing any data locally outside of Build.

• This package contains a independent copy of the tryghost content-api.js[^1] that is used to establish the connection so this package dose not depend on @ts-ghost/core-api package.[^1]
• If you are looking for a more Customizable option please check astro-ghostcms-basetheme
• This project is not setup for SSR in Integration mode. As such is will most likely not function properly in that mode. You will need to build your own project around the API or customize the basetheme linked above.

In this mode, the addon will not be just an API, but will be a full Route takeover, there is plans to add more themes in time, but for now there is only the base Casper theme based on Ghost's main Theme.

# For fresh Install
npm create astro@latest
# Create Empty Install with standard typescript
# Then Delete entire `pages` folder under `/src/`
npx astro add @matthiesenxyz/astro-ghostcms

You must also create 2 environment variables in a .env file with the following:

CONTENT_API_KEY=a33da3965a3a9fb2c6b3f63b48
CONTENT_API_URL=https://ghostdemo.matthiesen.xyz

npm i @matthiesenxyz/astro-ghostcms

Then set your astro.config.ts to look like this:

import { defineConfig } from "astro/config";
import GhostCMS from '@matthiesenxyz/astro-ghostcms';

// https://astro.build/config
export default defineConfig({
  site: "https://YOUR-DOMAIN-HERE.com"
  integrations: [GhostCMS()],
});

You must also create 2 environment variables in a .env file with the following:

CONTENT_API_KEY=a33da3965a3a9fb2c6b3f63b48
CONTENT_API_URL=https://ghostdemo.matthiesen.xyz

When you deploy your install dont forget to set the above ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES!

The routes are the same as a standard Ghost Blog so you can migrate to Astro easily.

In this mode the integration will not deploy routes at all. you will have to build your own website to utilize the exported functions listed below.

npm i @matthiesenxyz/astro-ghostcms
