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.

src/content/docs/example.md

hero:
  image:
    alt: A glittering, brightly colored logo
    dark: ~/assets/logo-dark.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(),
        });
      },
    }),
  }),
};
