  • Include Astro islands (Preact .jsx components) on your home page
  • Use client: directives to make islands interactive

Add Preact to your Astro project

Section titled Add Preact to your Astro project
  1. If it’s running, quit the dev server to have access to the terminal (keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + C).

  2. Add the ability to use Preact components in your Astro project with a single command:

    Terminal window
    npx astro add preact
  3. Follow the command line instructions to confirm adding Preact to your project.

Include a Preact greeting banner

Section titled Include a Preact greeting banner

This component will take an array of greeting messages as a prop and randomly select one of them to show as a welcome message. The user can click a button to get a new random message.

  1. Create a new file in src/components/ named Greeting.jsx

    Note the .jsx file extension. This file will be written in Preact, not Astro.

  2. Add the following code to Greeting.jsx:

    src/components/Greeting.jsx
    import { useState } from 'preact/hooks';
    export default function Greeting({messages}) {
    const randomMessage = () => messages[(Math.floor(Math.random() * messages.length))];
    const [greeting, setGreeting] = useState(messages[0]);
    return (
    <div>
    <h3>{greeting}! Thank you for visiting!</h3>
    <button onClick={() => setGreeting(randomMessage())}>
    New Greeting
    </button>
    </div>
    );
    }
  3. Import and use this component on your Home page index.astro.

    src/pages/index.astro
    ---
    import BaseLayout from '../layouts/BaseLayout.astro';
    import Greeting from '../components/Greeting.jsx';
    const pageTitle = "Home Page";
    ---
    <BaseLayout pageTitle={pageTitle}>
    <h2>My awesome blog subtitle</h2>
    <Greeting messages={["Hi", "Hello", "Howdy", "Hey there"]} />
    </BaseLayout>

    Check the preview in your browser: you should see a random greeting, but the button won’t work!

  4. Add a second <Greeting /> component with the client:load directive.

    src/pages/index.astro
    ---
    import BaseLayout from '../layouts/BaseLayout.astro';
    import Greeting from '../components/Greeting';
    const pageTitle = "Home Page";
    ---
    <BaseLayout pageTitle={pageTitle}>
    <h2>My awesome blog subtitle</h2>
    <Greeting messages={["Hi", "Hello", "Howdy", "Hey there"]} />
    <Greeting client:load messages={["Hej", "Hallo", "Hola", "Habari"]} />
    </BaseLayout>
  5. Revisit your page and compare the two components. The second button works because the client:load directive tells Astro to send and rerun its JavaScript on the client when the page loads, making the component interactive. This is called a hydrated component.

  6. Once the difference is clear, remove the non-hydrated Greeting component.

    src/pages/index.astro
    ---
    import BaseLayout from '../layouts/BaseLayout.astro';
    import Greeting from '../components/Greeting';
    const pageTitle = "Home Page";
    ---
    <BaseLayout pageTitle={pageTitle}>
    <h2>My awesome blog subtitle</h2>
    <Greeting messages={["Hi", "Hello", "Howdy", "Hey there"]} />
    <Greeting client:load messages={["Hej", "Hallo", "Hola", "Habari"]} />
    </BaseLayout>

There are other client: directives to explore. Each sends the JavaScript to the client at a different time. client:visible, for example, will only send the component’s JavaScript when it is visible on the page.

Consider an Astro component with the following code:

---
import BaseLayout from '../layouts/BaseLayout.astro';
import AstroBanner from '../components/AstroBanner.astro';
import PreactBanner from '../components/PreactBanner';
import SvelteCounter from '../components/SvelteCounter.svelte';
---
<BaseLayout>
<AstroBanner />
<PreactBanner />
<PreactBanner client:load />
<SvelteCounter />
<SvelteCounter client:visible />
</BaseLayout>
  1. Which of the five components will be hydrated islands, sending JavaScript to the client?

  2. In what way(s) will the two <PreactBanner /> components be the same? In what way(s) will they be different?

  3. Assume the SvelteCounter component shows a number and has a button to increase it. If you couldn’t see your website’s code, only the live published page, how would you tell which of the two <SvelteCounter /> components used client:visible?

For each of the following components, identify what will be sent to the browser:

  1. <ReactCounter client:load/>

  2. <SvelteCard />
