If you don’t have an existing Astro site, you can create one by running:
Bash
1# Make a new project directory, and navigate directly into it
2mkdir my-astro-project && cd $_
3

4# prepare for liftoff...
5npm init astro
6

7# install dependencies
8npm install
9

10# start developing!
11npm run dev
12

13# when you're ready: build your static site to `dist/`
14npm run build

Initializing your Project

Initialize your project for use with Edgio by running the following command in your project’s root directory:
Bash
10 init

Update your Edgio Router

Paste the following into routes.js or routes.ts, depending on the results of the 0 init command:
JavaScript
1import { Router } from '@layer0/core'
2

3export default new Router()
4  // Prevent search engine bot(s) from indexing
5  // Read more on: https://docs.layer0.co/applications/cookbook#blocking-search-engine-crawlers
6  .noIndexPermalink()
7  .get('/:path*/:file.:ext(js|css|png|ico|jpg|gif|svg)', ({ cache, serveStatic }) => {
8    cache({
9      browser: {
10        // cache js, css, and images in the browser for one hour...
11        maxAgeSeconds: 60 * 60,
12      },
13      edge: {
14        // ... and at the edge for one year
15        maxAgeSeconds: 60 * 60 * 24 * 365,
16      },
17    })
18    serveStatic('dist/:path*/:file.:ext')
19  })
20  .match('/:path*', ({ cache, serveStatic, setResponseHeader }) => {
21    cache({
22      // prevent the browser from caching html...
23      browser: false,
24      edge: {
25        // ...cache html at the edge for one year
26        maxAgeSeconds: 60 * 60 * 24 * 365,
27      },
28    })
29    setResponseHeader('content-type', 'text/html; charset=UTF-8')
30    serveStatic('dist/:path*')
31  })
You can remove the origin backend from layer0.config.js:
