astro-content-devtools v0.1.0
Features
Browsing Astro Content Collections entry files can sometimes be a bit cumbersome, especially when you have a lot of them spread across multiple collections. Same goes for collection schemas which are written in TypeScript using Zod and can be hard to read for non-developers.
The Astro Content Devtools are available through an Astro component using SolidJS that you can add to your project and that will provide you with a UI to browse your content collections, schemas and entry files in your browser.
- 🎈 Floating UI togglable with a button in the corner of the screen to show and hide the devtools.
- 💾 Current state stored in localStorage to remember the toggle state, selected collection and entry file across reloads and navigation.
- 📄 Preview the content of a collection entry, including the frontmatter and the body.
- 🗜️ Filterable list of collection entry files.
- 📏 Responsive and resizable UI.
!WARNING
The Astro Content Devtools are not compatible with Astro data content collections.!WARNING
Now that Astro 4.0 has a built-in Dev Toolbar, this package should be refactored to a Dev Toolbar App.
