Add Integrations

Astro integrations add new functionality and behaviors for your project with only a few lines of code. You can use an official integration, integrations built by the community or even build a custom integration yourself.

Integrations can…

  • Unlock React, Vue, Svelte, Solid, and other popular UI frameworks with a renderer.
  • Enable on-demand rendering with an SSR adapter.
  • Integrate tools like Tailwind, and Partytown with a few lines of code.
  • Add new features to your project, like automatic sitemap generation.
  • Write custom code that hooks into the build process, dev server, and more.

Official Integrations

Section titled Official Integrations

The following integrations are maintained by Astro.

UI Frameworks

SSR Adapters

Other integrations

Automatic Integration Setup

Section titled Automatic Integration Setup

Astro includes an astro add command to automate the setup of official integrations. Several community plugins can also be added using this command. Please check each integration’s own documentation to see whether astro add is supported, or whether you must install manually.

Run the astro add command using the package manager of your choice and our automatic integration wizard will update your configuration file and install any necessary dependencies.

Terminal window
npx astro add react

It’s even possible to add multiple integrations at the same time!

Terminal window
npx astro add react tailwind partytown

Manual Installation

Section titled Manual Installation

Astro integrations are always added through the integrations property in your astro.config.mjs file.

There are three common ways to import an integration into your Astro project:

  1. Install an npm package integration.

  2. Import your own integration from a local file inside your project.

  3. Write your integration inline, directly in your config file.

    astro.config.mjs
    import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
    import installedIntegration from '@astrojs/vue';
    import localIntegration from './my-integration.js';
    

    export default defineConfig({
      integrations: [
        // 1. Imported from an installed npm package
        installedIntegration(),
        // 2. Imported from a local JS file
        localIntegration(),
        // 3. An inline object
        {name: 'namespace:id', hooks: { /* ... */ }},
      ]
    });

Check out the Integration API reference to learn all of the different ways that you can write an integration.

Installing an NPM package

Section titled Installing an NPM package

Install an NPM package integration using a package manager, and then update astro.config.mjs manually.

For example, to install the @astrojs/sitemap integration:

  1. Install the integration to your project dependencies using your preferred package manager:

    Terminal window
    npm install @astrojs/sitemap

  2. Import the integration to your astro.config.mjs file, and add it to your integrations[] array, along with any configuration options:

    astro.config.mjs
    import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
    import sitemap from '@astrojs/sitemap';
    

    export default defineConfig({
      // ...
      integrations: [sitemap()],
      // ...
    });

    Note that different integrations may have different configuration settings. Read each integration’s documentation, and apply any necessary config options to your chosen integration in astro.config.mjs

Custom Options

Section titled Custom Options

Integrations are almost always authored as factory functions that return the actual integration object. This lets you pass arguments and options to the factory function that customize the integration for your project.

integrations: [
  // Example: Customize your integration with function arguments
  sitemap({filter: true})
]

Toggle an Integration

Section titled Toggle an Integration

Falsy integrations are ignored, so you can toggle integrations on & off without worrying about left-behind undefined and boolean values.

integrations: [
  // Example: Skip building a sitemap on Windows
  process.platform !== 'win32' && sitemap()
]

Upgrading Integrations

Section titled Upgrading Integrations

To upgrade all official integrations at once, run the @astrojs/upgrade command. This will upgrade both Astro and all official integrations to their latest versions.

Automatic Upgrading

Section titled Automatic Upgrading
Terminal window
# Upgrade Astro and official integrations together to latest
npx @astrojs/upgrade

Manual Upgrading

Section titled Manual Upgrading

To upgrade one or more integrations manually, use the appropriate command for your package manager.

Terminal window
# Example: upgrade React and Tailwind integrations
npm install @astrojs/react@latest @astrojs/tailwind@latest

Removing an Integration

Section titled Removing an Integration

To remove an integration, first uninstall the integration from your project

Terminal window
npm uninstall @astrojs/react

Next, remove the integration from your astro.config.* file:

astro.config.mjs
import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';


import react from '@astrojs/react';


export default defineConfig({
  integrations: [
    react()
  ]
});

Finding More Integrations

Section titled Finding More Integrations

You can find many integrations developed by the community in the Astro Integrations Directory. Follow links there for detailed usage and configuration instructions.

Building Your Own Integration

Section titled Building Your Own Integration

Astro’s Integration API is inspired by Rollup and Vite, and designed to feel familiar to anyone who has ever written a Rollup or Vite plugin before.

Check out the Integration API reference to learn what integrations can do and how to write one yourself.
