StudioCMS Config

The StudioCMS config file is used to configure various aspects of StudioCMS in your Astro project. It allows you to define settings such as database configuration, plugins, component registry, localization, and feature flags.

Example file structure

.env
astro.config.mjs
studiocms.config.mjs
package.json
Directorysrc
- …

Example configuration files

import 
function node(userOptions: UserOptions): AstroIntegration
node from '@astrojs/node';
import 
const studioCMS: () => AstroIntegration
StudioCMS Integration
StudioCMS is an open-source headless CMS built for Astro, by members of the Astro community.
To configure StudioCMS, create a studiocms.config.* file in the root of your Astro project.
Then, import the defineStudioCMSConfig function from studiocms/config and export the configuration as the default export.

Note: Supported config file extensions are .ts, .js, .mts, and .mjs.

@see ― The StudioCMS Docs for more information on how to use StudioCMS.

Specifies the output target for builds.

'static' - Prerender all your pages by default, outputting a completely static site if none of your pages opt out of prerendering.
'server' - Use server-side rendering (SSR) for all pages by default, always outputting a server-rendered site.

Deploy to your favorite server, serverless, or edge host with build adapters. Import one of our first-party adapters (Cloudflare, Netlify, Node.js, Vercel) or explore community adapters to enable on-demand rendering in your Astro project.
See our on-demand rendering guide for more on Astro's server rendering options.

Specifies the mode that the adapter builds to.

'middleware' - Build to middleware, to be used within another Node.js server, such as Express.
'standalone' - Build to a standalone server. The server starts up just by running the built script.

@description 
Extend Astro with custom integrations. Integrations are your one-stop-shop for adding framework support (like Solid.js), new features (like sitemaps), and new libraries (like Partytown).

A utility function to define the StudioCMS config object.
This function is used to define the optional StudioCMS
config object in the Astro project root. The expected file
name is studiocms.config.mjs. And it should be adjacent
to the Astro project's astro.config.mjs file.
StudioCMS will attempt to import this file and use the default
export as the StudioCMS config object automatically if it exists.
Using this function is optional, but it can be useful for IDEs
to provide better intellisense and type checking.
