Astro v3.0 Breaking Changes
Section titled Astro v3.0 Breaking ChangesAstro v3.0 includes some breaking changes, as well as the removal of some previously deprecated features. If your project doesn’t work as expected after upgrading to v3.0, check this guide for an overview of all breaking changes and instructions on how to update your codebase.
See the changelog for full release notes.
Removed: Support for Node 16
Section titled Removed: Support for Node 16Node 16 is scheduled to reach its End of Life in September 2023.
Astro v3.0 drops Node 16 support entirely so that all Astro users can take advantage of Node’s more modern features.
What should I do?
Section titled What should I do?Check that both your development environment and your deployment environment are using Node 18.14.1
or higher.
-
Check your local version of Node using:
-
Check your deployment environment’s own documentation to verify that they support Node 18.
You can specify Node
18.14.1
for your Astro project either in a dashboard configuration setting or a.nvmrc
file.
Removed: Support for TypeScript 4
Section titled Removed: Support for TypeScript 4In Astro v2.x, the tsconfig.json
presets include support for both TypeScript 4.x and 5.x.
Astro v3.0 updates the tsconfig.json
presets to only support TypeScript 5.x. Astro now assumes that you use TypeScript 5.0 (March 2023), or that your editor includes it (e.g. VS Code 1.77).
What should I do?
Section titled What should I do?If you have installed TypeScript locally, update to at least v5.0.
Removed: @astrojs/image
Section titled Removed: @astrojs/imageIn Astro v2.x, Astro offered an official image integration that included Astro <Image />
and <Picture />
components.
Astro v3.0 removes this integration from the codebase entirely. Astro’s new solution for images is a built-in image services API: astro:assets
.
What should I do?
Section titled What should I do?Remove the @astrojs/image
integration from your project. You will need to not only uninstall the integration but also update or remove any import statements and existing <Image />
and <Picture />
components. You might also need to configure a preferred default image processing service.
You will find complete, step-by-step instructions for removing the old image integration in our Images guide.
Migrating to astro:assets
will also bring some new image options and features that you may now wish to use. Please see the full v3.0 Image Upgrade Advice for full details!
Removed: <Markdown />
component
Section titled Removed: <Markdown /> componentIn Astro v1.x, Astro deprecated the <Markdown />
component and moved it to an external package.
Astro v3.0 completely removes the package @astrojs/markdown-component
. Astro’s <Markdown />
component will no longer work in your project.
What should I do?
Section titled What should I do?Remove all instances of the @astrojs/markdown-component
.
To continue using a similar <Markdown />
component in your code, consider using community integrations such as astro-remote
. Be sure to update your <Markdown />
component imports and attributes as necessary, according to the integration’s own documentation.
Otherwise, delete all references to importing Astro’s <Markdown />
component and the component itself in your .astro
files. You will need to rewrite your content as HTML directly or import Markdown from a .md
file.
Removed: deprecated 1.x APIs
Section titled Removed: deprecated 1.x APIsIn Astro v1.x, Astro deprecated our original configuration settings as well as <style global>
and <script hoist>
support. However, these were still supported for backwards compatibility.
Astro v3.0 removes these deprecated APIs entirely. The officially supported configuration settings and modern <style is:global>
and <script>
syntax should be used instead.
What should I do?
Section titled What should I do?If you are continuing to use v1.x APIs, use the new APIs for each feature instead:
- Deprecated config options: See the 0.26 migration guide
- Deprecated script/style attribute types: See the 0.26 migration guide
Removed: Partial shims for Web APIs in server code
Section titled Removed: Partial shims for Web APIs in server codeIn Astro v2.x, Astro provided partial shims for Web APIs such as document
or localStorage
in server-rendered code. These shims were often incomplete and unreliable.
Astro v3.0 removes these partial shims entirely. Web APIs are no longer available in server-rendered code.
What should I do?
Section titled What should I do?If you are using Web APIs in server-rendered components, you will need to either make the usage of those APIs conditional or use the client:only
client directive.
Removed: image
from astro:content
in content collections schema
Section titled Removed: image from astro:content in content collections schemaIn Astro v2.x, the content collections API deprecated an image
export from astro:content
for use in your content collections schemas.
Astro v3.0 removes this export entirely.
What should I do?
Section titled What should I do?If you are using the deprecated image()
from astro:content
, remove it as this no longer exists. Validate images through the image
helper from schema
instead:
Removed: pre-0.14 Shiki theme names
Section titled Removed: pre-0.14 Shiki theme namesIn Astro v2.x, some Shiki theme names had been renamed, but the original names were kept for backwards compatibility.
Astro v3.0 removes the original names in favor of the renamed theme names.
What should I do?
Section titled What should I do?If your project uses any of the themes below, rename them to their updated name:
material-darker
->material-theme-darker
material-default
->material-theme
material-lighter
->material-theme-lighter
material-ocean
->material-theme-ocean
material-palenight
->material-theme-palenight
Removed: class:list
features
Section titled Removed: class:list featuresIn Astro v2.x, the class:list
directive used a custom implementation inspired by clsx
with a few extra features like deduplication and Set
support.
Astro v3.0 now uses clsx
directly for class:list
, which does not support deduplication or Set
values.
What should I do?
Section titled What should I do?Replace any Set
elements passed to the class:list
directive with a plain Array
.
Removed: passing class:list
as a prop
Section titled Removed: passing class:list as a propIn Astro v2.x, class:list
values were sent to components via Astro.props['class:list']
.
Astro v3.0 normalizes class:list
values into a string before being sent to components via Astro.props['class']
What should I do?
Section titled What should I do?Remove any code that expects to receive the class:list
prop.
Removed: kebab-case transform for camelCase CSS variables
Section titled Removed: kebab-case transform for camelCase CSS variablesIn Astro v2.x, camelCase CSS variables passed to the style
attribute were rendered as both camelCase (as written) and kebab-case (kept for backwards compatibility).
Astro v3.0 removes the kebab-case transform for these camelCase CSS variable names, and only the original camelCase CSS variable is rendered.
What should I do?
Section titled What should I do?If you were relying on Astro to transform kebab-case in your styles, update your existing styles to camelCase to prevent missing styles. For example:
Removed: automatic flattening of getStaticPaths()
’s return value
Section titled Removed: automatic flattening of getStaticPaths()’s return valueIn Astro v2.x, the return value of getStaticPaths()
was automatically flattened to allow you to return an array of arrays without errors.
Astro v3.0 removes automatic flattening of getStaticPaths()
’s result.
What should I do?
Section titled What should I do?If you’re returning an array of arrays instead of an array of objects (as is expected), .flatMap
and .flat
should now be used to ensure that you are returning a flat array.
An error message indicating that getStaticPath()
’s return value must be an array of objects will be provided if you need to update your code.
Moved: astro check
now requires an external package
Section titled Moved: astro check now requires an external packageIn Astro v2.x, astro check
was included in Astro by default, and its dependencies were bundled in Astro. This meant a larger package whether or not you ever used astro check
. This also prevented you from having control over the version of TypeScript and the Astro Language Server to use.
Astro v3.0 moves the astro check
command out of Astro core and now requires an external package @astrojs/check
. Additionally, you must install typescript
in your project to use the astro check
command.
What should I do?
Section titled What should I do?Run the astro check
command after upgrading to Astro v3.0 and follow the prompts to install the required dependencies, or manually install @astrojs/check
and typescript
into your project.
Deprecated: build.excludeMiddleware
and build.split
Section titled Deprecated: build.excludeMiddleware and build.splitIn Astro v2.x, build.excludeMiddleware
and build.split
were used to change how specific files were emitted when using an adapter in SSR mode.
Astro v3.0 replaces these build config options with new SSR adapter configuration options to perform the same tasks: edgeMiddleware
and functionPerRoute
.
What should I do?
Section titled What should I do?Update the Astro config file to now use the new options in the adapter configuration directly.
Deprecated: markdown.drafts
Section titled Deprecated: markdown.draftsIn Astro v2.x, the markdown.drafts
configuration allowed you to have draft pages that were available in when running the dev server, but not built in production.
Astro v3.0 deprecates this feature in favor of the content collections method of handling draft pages by filtering manually instead, which gives more control over the feature.
What should I do?
Section titled What should I do?To continue to mark some pages in your project as drafts, migrate to content collections and manually filter out pages with the draft: true
frontmatter property instead.
Deprecated: returning simple object in endpoints
Section titled Deprecated: returning simple object in endpointsIn Astro v2.x, endpoints could return a simple object, which would be converted to a JSON response.
Astro v3.0 deprecates this behavior in favor of returning a Response
object directly.
What should I do?
Section titled What should I do?Update your endpoints to return a Response
object directly.
If you really need to keep the previous format, you can use the ResponseWithEncoding
object but will be deprecated in the future.
Changed default: verbatimModuleSyntax
in tsconfig.json presets
Section titled Changed default: verbatimModuleSyntax in tsconfig.json presetsIn Astro v2.x, the verbatimModuleSyntax
setting was off by default, with its TypeScript 4.x equivalent importsNotUsedAsValues
being enabled in the strict
preset.
In Astro v3.0, verbatimModuleSyntax
is enabled in every preset.
What should I do?
Section titled What should I do?This option requires that types are imported using the import type
syntax.
While we recommend keeping it on and properly making your type imports with type
(as shown above), you can disable it by setting verbatimModuleSyntax: false
in your tsconfig.json
file if it causes any issues.
Changed default: port 3000
Section titled Changed default: port 3000In Astro v2.x, Astro ran on port 3000
by default.
Astro v3.0 changes the default port to 4321
. 🚀
What should I do?
Section titled What should I do?Update any existing references to localhost:3000
, for example in tests or in your README
, to reflect the new port localhost:4321
.
Changed default: import.meta.env.BASE_URL trailingSlash
Section titled Changed default: import.meta.env.BASE_URL trailingSlashIn Astro v2.x, import.meta.env.BASE_URL
appended your base
setting with a trailingSlash by default. trailingSlash: "ignore"
also appended a trailing slash.
Astro v3.0 no longer appends import.meta.env.BASE_URL
with a trailing slash by default, nor when trailingSlash: "ignore"
is set. (The existing behavior of base
in combination with trailingSlash: "always"
or trailingSlash: "never"
is unchanged.)
What should I do?
Section titled What should I do?If your base
already has a trailing slash, no change is needed.
If your base
does not have a trailing slash, add one if you wish to preserve the previous default (or trailingSlash: "ignore"
) behavior:
Changed default: compressHTML
Section titled Changed default: compressHTMLIn Astro v2.x, Astro only compressed your emitted HTML when compressHTML
was explicitly set to true
. The default value was false
.
Astro v3.0 now compresses emitted HTML by default.
What should I do?
Section titled What should I do?You can now remove compressHTML: true
from your configuration as this is the new default behavior.
You must now set compressHTML: false
to opt out of HTML compression.
Changed default: scopedStyleStrategy
Section titled Changed default: scopedStyleStrategyIn Astro v2.x, the default value of scopedStyleStrategy
was "where"
.
Astro v3.0 introduces a new, default value: "attribute"
. By default, styles are now applied using data-*
attributes.
What should I do?
Section titled What should I do?To retain your project’s current style scoping, update the configuration file to the previous default value:
Changed default: inlineStyleSheets
Section titled Changed default: inlineStyleSheetsIn Astro v2.x, all project stylesheets were sent as link tags by default. You could opt in to inlining them into <style>
tags every time with "always"
, or to inlining only stylesheets below a certain size with "auto"
by setting the build.inlineStylesheets
configuration. The default setting was "never"
.
Astro v3.0 changes the default value of inlineStylesheets
to "auto"
. Stylesheets smaller than ViteConfig.build.assetsInlineLimit
(default: 4kb) are inlined by default. Otherwise, project styles are sent in external stylesheets.
What should I do?
Section titled What should I do?If you want to keep your project’s current behavior, set build.inlineStylesheets
to the previous default, "never"
:
Changed default: image service
Section titled Changed default: image serviceIn Astro v2.x, Squoosh was the default image processing service.
Astro v3.0 now includes Sharp as the default image processing service and instead provides a configuration option to use Squoosh.
What should I do?
Section titled What should I do?When using a strict package manager like pnpm
, you may need to manually install Sharp into your project even though it is an Astro dependency:
If you would prefer to continue to use Squoosh to transform your images, update your config with the following:
Changed: HTTP request methods case
Section titled Changed: HTTP request methods caseIn Astro v2.x, HTTP request methods were written using lowercase function names: get
, post
, put
, all
, and del
.
Astro v3.0 uses uppercase function names, including DELETE
instead of del
.
What should I do?
Section titled What should I do?Rename all functions to their uppercase equivalent:
get
toGET
post
toPOST
put
toPUT
all
toALL
del
toDELETE
Changed: Multiple JSX framework configuration
Section titled Changed: Multiple JSX framework configurationIn Astro v2.x, you could use multiple JSX framework integrations (React, Solid, Preact) in the same project without needing to identify which files belonged to which framework.
Astro v3.0 now requires you to specify which framework to use for your files with new include
and exclude
integration config options when you have multiple JSX framework integrations installed. This allows Astro to better support single-framework usage, as well as advanced features like React Fast Refresh.
What should I do?
Section titled What should I do?If you are using multiple JSX frameworks in the same project, set include
(and optionally exclude
) to an array of files and/or folders. Wildcards may be used to include multiple file paths.
We recommend placing common framework components in the same folder (e.g. /components/react/
and /components/solid/
) to make specifying your includes easier, but this is not required:
Changed: Astro.cookies.get(key)
can return undefined
Section titled Changed: Astro.cookies.get(key) can return undefinedIn Astro v2.x, Astro.cookies.get(key)
would always return an AstroCookie
object, even if the cookie did not exist. To check for its existence, you needed to use Astro.cookies.has(key)
.
Astro v3.0 returns undefined
for Astro.cookies.get(key)
if the cookie does not exist.
What should I do?
Section titled What should I do?This change will not break any code that checks for the existence of the Astro.cookie
object before using Astro.cookies.get(key)
, but is now no longer required.
You can safely remove any code that uses has()
to check if the value of Astro.cookies
is undefined
:
Changed: running the Astro CLI programmatically
Section titled Changed: running the Astro CLI programmaticallyIn Astro v2.x, the "astro"
package entrypoint exported and ran the Astro CLI directly. It is not recommended to run Astro this way in practice.
Astro v3.0 removes the CLI from the entrypoint, and exports a new set of experimental JavaScript APIs, including dev()
, build()
, preview()
, and sync()
.
What should I do?
Section titled What should I do?To run the Astro CLI programmatically, use the new experimental JavaScript APIs:
Changed: internal Astro API entry point export paths
Section titled Changed: internal Astro API entry point export pathsIn Astro v2.x, you could import internal Astro APIs from astro/internal/*
and astro/runtime/server/*
.
Astro v3.0 removes the two entry points in favor of the existing astro/runtime/*
entrypoint. Additionally, a new astro/compiler-runtime
export has been added for compiler-specific runtime code.
What should I do?
Section titled What should I do?These are entry points for Astro’s internal API and should not affect your project. But if you do use these entrypoints, update as shown below:
Feature Upgrades
Section titled Feature UpgradesUpgrade images to v3
Section titled Upgrade images to v3astro:assets
is no longer behind an experimental flag in Astro v3.0.
<Image />
is now a built-in component and the previous @astrojs/image
integration has been removed.
These and other accompanying changes to using images in Astro may cause some breaking changes when you upgrade your Astro project from an earlier version.
Please follow the instructions below as appropriate to upgrade an Astro v2.x project to v3.0.
Upgrade from experimental.assets
Section titled Upgrade from experimental.assetsIf you had previously enabled the experimental flag for astro:assets
, you will need to update your project for Astro v3.0 which now includes assets features by default.
Remove experimental.assets
flag
Section titled Remove experimental.assets flagRemove the experimental flag:
If necessary, also update your src/env.d.ts
file to replace the astro/client-image
reference with astro/client
:
Remove the ~/assets
import alias
Section titled Remove the ~/assets import aliasThis import alias is no longer included by default with astro:assets
. If you were using this alias with experimental assets, you must convert them to relative file paths, or create your own import aliases.
Add simple asset support for Cloudflare, Deno, Vercel Edge and Netlify Edge
Section titled Add simple asset support for Cloudflare, Deno, Vercel Edge and Netlify EdgeAstro v3.0 allows astro:assets
to work without errors in Cloudflare, Deno, Vercel Edge and Netlify Edge, which do not support Astro’s built-in Squoosh and Sharp image optimization. Note that Astro does not perform any image transformation and processing in these environments. However, you can still enjoy the other benefits of using astro:assets
, including no Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), the enforced alt
attribute, and a consistent authoring experience.
If you previously avoided using astro:assets
because of these constraints, you can now use them without issues. You can configure the no-op image service to explicitly opt-in to this behavior:
Decide where to store your images
Section titled Decide where to store your imagesSee the Images guide to help you decide where to store your images. You may wish to take advantage of new options for storing your images with the added flexibility astro:assets
brings. For example, relative images from your project src/
can now be referenced in Markdown, MDX, and Markdoc using standard Markdown ![alt](src)
syntax.
Update existing <img>
tags
Section titled Update existing <img> tagsPreviously, importing an image would return a simple string
with the path of the image. Now, imported image assets match the following signature:
You must update the src
attribute of any existing <img>
tags (including any images in UI framework components) and you may also update other attributes that are now available to you from the imported image.
Update your Markdown, MDX, and Markdoc files
Section titled Update your Markdown, MDX, and Markdoc filesRelative images from your project src/
can now be referenced in Markdown, MDX, and Markdoc using standard Markdown ![alt](src)
syntax.
This allows you to move your images from the public/
directory to your project src/
where they will now be processed and optimized. Your existing images in public/
and remote images are still valid but are not optimized by Astro’s build process.
If you require more control over your image attributes, we recommend using the .mdx
file format, which allows you to include Astro’s <Image />
component or a JSX <img />
tag in addition to the Markdown syntax. Use the MDX integration to add support for MDX to Astro.
Remove @astrojs/image
Section titled Remove @astrojs/imageIf you were using the image integration in Astro v2.x, complete the following steps:
-
Remove the
@astrojs/image
integration.You must remove the integration by uninstalling and then removing it from your
astro.config.mjs
file. -
Update types (if required).
If you had special types configured for
@astrojs/image
insrc/env.d.ts
, you may need to change them back to the default Astro types if your upgrade to v3 did not complete this step for you.Similarly, update
tsconfig.json
if necessary: -
Migrate any existing
<Image />
components.Change all
import
statements from@astrojs/image/components
toastro:assets
in order to use the new built-in<Image />
component.Remove any component attributes that are not currently supported image asset properties.
For example,
aspectRatio
is no longer supported, as it is now automatically inferred from thewidth
andheight
attributes. -
Choose a default image service.
Sharp is now the default image service used for
astro:assets
. If you would like to use Sharp, no configuration is required.If you would prefer to use Squoosh to transform your images, update your config with the following
image.service
option:
Update Content Collections schemas
Section titled Update Content Collections schemasYou can now declare an associated image for a content collections entry, such as a blog post’s cover image, in your frontmatter using its path relative to the current folder.
The new image
helper for content collections lets you validate the image metadata using Zod. Learn more about how to use images in content collections
Navigating Image Imports in Astro v3.0
Section titled Navigating Image Imports in Astro v3.0In Astro v3.0, if you have to preserve the old import behavior for images and require a string representation of the image’s URL, append ?url
to the end of your image path when importing it. For example:
This approach ensures you obtain the URL string. Keep in mind that during development, Astro uses a src/
path, but upon building, it generates hashed paths like /_astro/cat.a6737dd3.png
.
If you prefer to work directly with the image object itself, you can access the .src
property. This approach is best for tasks like managing image dimensions for Core Web Vitals metrics and preventing CLS.
If you are transitioning into the new import behavior, combining ?url
and .src
methods might be the right method for seamless image handling.
Upgrade view transitions to v3
Section titled Upgrade view transitions to v3View transitions are no longer behind an experimental flag in Astro v3.0.
If you had not enabled this experimental flag in Astro 2.x, this will not cause any breaking changes to your project. The new View Transitions API has no effect on your existing code.
If you were previously using experimental view transitions, there may be some breaking changes when you upgrade your Astro project from an earlier version.
Please follow the instructions below as appropriate to upgrade an Astro v2.x project configured with experimental.viewTransitions: true
to v3.0.
Upgrade from experimental.viewTransitions
Section titled Upgrade from experimental.viewTransitionsIf you had previously enabled the experimental flag for view transitions, you will need to update your project for Astro v3.0 which now allows view transitions by default.
Remove experimental.viewTransitions
flag
Section titled Remove experimental.viewTransitions flagRemove the experimental flag:
Update import source
Section titled Update import sourceThe <ViewTransitions />
component has been moved from astro:components
to astro:transitions
. Update the import source across all occurrences in your project.
Update transition:animate
directives
Section titled Update transition:animate directivesChanged: The transition:animate
value morph
has been renamed to initial
. Also, this is no longer the default animation. If no transition:animate
directive is specified, your animations will now default to fade
.
-
Rename any
morph
animations toinitial
. -
To keep any animations that were previously using
morph
by default, explicitly addtransition:animate="initial"
-
You can safely remove any animations explicitly set to
fade
. This is now the default behavior:
Added: Astro also supports a new transition:animate
value, none
. This value can be used on a page’s <html>
element to disable animated full-page transitions on an entire page. This will only override default animation behavior on page elements without an animation directive. You can still set animations on individual elements, and these specific animations will occur.
-
You may now disable all default transitions on an individual page, animating only elements that explicitly use a
transition:animate
directive:
Update event names
Section titled Update event namesThe event astro:load
has been renamed to astro:page-load
. Rename all occurrences in your project.
The event astro:beforeload
has been renamed to astro:after-swap
. Rename all occurrences in your project.
