Frontmatter Reference

Este conteúdo não está disponível em sua língua ainda.

You can customize individual Markdown and MDX pages in Starlight by setting values in their frontmatter. For example, a regular page might set title and description fields:

src/content/docs/example.md
---
title: About this project
description: Learn more about the project I’m working on.
---
Welcome to the about page!

Frontmatter fields

title (required)

type: string

You must provide a title for every page. This will be displayed at the top of the page, in browser tabs, and in page metadata.

description

type: string

The page description is used for page metadata and will be picked up by search engines and in social media previews.

slug

type: string

Override the slug of the page. See “Defining custom slugs” in the Astro docs for more details.

editUrl

type: string | boolean

Overrides the global editLink config. Set to false to disable the “Edit page” link for a specific page or provide an alternative URL where the content of this page is editable.

type: HeadConfig[]

You can add additional tags to your page’s <head> using the head frontmatter field. This means you can add custom styles, metadata or other tags to a single page. Similar to the global head option.

src/content/docs/example.md
---
title: About us
head:
# Use a custom <title> tag
- tag: title
content: Custom about title
---

tableOfContents

type: false | { minHeadingLevel?: number; maxHeadingLevel?: number; }

Overrides the global tableOfContents config. Customize the heading levels to be included or set to false to hide the table of contents on this page.

src/content/docs/example.md
---
title: Page with only H2s in the table of contents
tableOfContents:
minHeadingLevel: 2
maxHeadingLevel: 2
---
src/content/docs/example.md
---
title: Page with no table of contents
tableOfContents: false
---

template

type: 'doc' | 'splash'
default: 'doc'

Set the layout template for this page. Pages use the 'doc' layout by default. Set to 'splash' to use a wider layout without any sidebars designed for landing pages.

hero

type: HeroConfig

Add a hero component to the top of this page. Works well with template: splash.

For example, this config shows some common options, including loading an image from your repository.

src/content/docs/example.md
---
title: My Home Page
template: splash
hero:
title: 'My Project: Stellar Stuff Sooner'
tagline: Take your stuff to the moon and back in the blink of an eye.
image:
alt: A glittering, brightly colored logo
file: ~/assets/logo.png
actions:
- text: Tell me more
link: /getting-started/
icon: right-arrow
variant: primary
- text: View on GitHub
link: https://github.com/astronaut/my-project
icon: external
attrs:
rel: me
---

You can display different versions of the hero image in light and dark modes.

alt: A glittering, brightly colored logo
dark: ~/assets/logo-dark.png
light: ~/assets/logo-light.png

Customize frontmatter schema

The frontmatter schema for Starlight’s docs content collection is configured in src/content/config.ts using the docsSchema() helper:

src/content/config.ts
import { defineCollection } from 'astro:content';
import { docsSchema } from '@astrojs/starlight/schema';
export const collections = {
docs: defineCollection({ schema: docsSchema() }),
};

Learn more about content collection schemas in “Defining a collection schema” in the Astro docs.

docsSchema() takes the following options:

extend

type: Zod schema or function that returns a Zod schema
default: z.object({})

Extend Starlight’s schema with additional fields by setting extend in the docsSchema() options. The value should be a Zod schema.

In the following example, we provide a stricter type for description to make it required and add a new optional category field:

src/content/config.ts
import { defineCollection, z } from 'astro:content';
import { docsSchema } from '@astrojs/starlight/schema';
export const collections = {
docs: defineCollection({
schema: docsSchema({
extend: z.object({
// Make a built-in field required instead of optional.
description: z.string(),
// Add a new field to the schema.
category: z.enum(['tutorial', 'guide', 'reference']).optional(),
}),
}),
}),
};

To take advantage of the Astro image() helper, use a function that returns your schema extension:

src/content/config.ts
import { defineCollection, z } from 'astro:content';
import { docsSchema } from '@astrojs/starlight/schema';
export const collections = {
docs: defineCollection({
schema: docsSchema({
extend: ({ image }) => {
return z.object({
// Add a field that must resolve to a local image.
cover: image(),
});
},
}),
}),
};
