Starlight is excellent for documentation, but sometimes you need a blog to go with it. starlight-blog is a community plugin that adds a full-featured blog to your Starlight site.

Key Features

Blog Index: Automatically generates a paginated list of blog posts.
Recent Posts: Show recent posts in the sidebar.
Tags & Authors: Organize content by tags and credit authors.
RSS Feed: Automatic RSS feed generation.

Usage

Once installed and configured in astro.config.mjs, you simply create markdown or MDX files in your content directory (e.g., src/content/docs/blog/).

import starlightBlog from 'starlight-blog';

export default defineConfig({
  integrations: [
    starlight({
      plugins: [
        starlightBlog({
          title: 'My Awesome Blog',
          authors: {
            me: {
              name: 'Me',
              title: 'Editor',
            },
          },
        }),
      ],
    }),
  ],
});
