Astro and React Islands Setup
Configure Astro with the React integration and use client:load, client:idle, and client:visible directives.
Creating an Astro Project
Bootstrapping an Astro project uses npx create astro@latest, which runs an interactive wizard to choose a template, TypeScript settings, and package manager. Astro supports multiple starters including a blank template, a blog template, and documentation templates.
Adding the React Integration
Astro integrations add framework support to a project. Running npx astro add react automatically installs @astrojs/react, react, and react-dom, and updates astro.config.mjs to include the React integration. The entire setup takes one command.
