Astro Live Collections Demo

A demonstration of Astro's experimental live content collections feature using a Shopify loader that fetches data from mock.shop at runtime.

✨ Features

  • Live Data Fetching - Products and collections loaded at request time, not build time
  • Type-Safe Filtering - Rich filtering capabilities with TypeScript support
  • Error Handling - Robust error handling with custom error types
  • Cache Optimization - Smart cache hints for performance
  • Real-Time Updates - No rebuilds needed when data changes

🏗️ Live Collections Architecture

This demo showcases how to build live collection loaders:

  • src/loaders/shopify/ - Modular loader architecture
  • src/live.config.ts - Live collections configuration
  • src/pages/ - Runtime data fetching examples

🚀 Key Demo Pages

  • Homepage (/) - Featured products and collections overview
  • Products (/products) - Filterable product listing with search, sorting, and availability filters
  • Product Details (/products/[handle]) - Individual product pages with variants
