How to render .astro files in django

Question

I tried to create a Django web app since the web pages had heavy js files so it took a long time to load the page. To tackle this problem I tried to implement Astro to create a static webpage. But the problem here is that Django renders .astro files also as HTML.

How do I tell Django to render .astro as an Astro file

Answer 1

Astro is a static site generator built on top of node.js. To have your static site served from your django application you would first need to build astro out, using: npm run build or yarn build to have your site output in the ./dist directory. From here you can then point your django server to serve those files.

Since Astro files are static they can be deployed in a number of different ways, you can read more about this here
