Why astro

This keeps every site fast by default. But sometimes, client-side JavaScript is required. This guide shows how interactive components work in Astro using a technique called partial hydration. Most sites do not need to be fully controlled by Javascript. This concept of partial hydration leans into that. Using my personal site as an example, the only dynamic portion of the site is toggling dark mode. In the Nuxt version of the site, I was reliant on the Nuxt runtime to toggle light and dark mode.

Instead, it is a fundamental part of how pages are delivered to the browser. The HTML returned in response to navigation contains a meaningful and immediately renderable representation of the content the user requested.

Rather than load an entire SPA to handle a small portion of functionality, Vue can target a much smaller section of the DOM, and render only the portion of the application that I need in this case, a button and some JS to toggle dark mode. Vue supports this usage by default, but in the world of frameworks we tend to forget this.

A number of recent episodes of Views on Vue have explored this concept, including using Vue without an SPA and building micro frontends. The Wikimedia Foundation also uses Vue this way , rendering client-side functionality on top of an existing PHP monolith listen to my discussion with Eric Gardner to learn more. When viewed in this way, performance is almost a byproduct of following best practices with Astro.

Thanks for sharing. Mixing components, styling approaches, state management are really gonna be a game changer and partial hydration is just getting better and better with the support of web components and more conditionals like idle, visible, landing soon.
