Use Astro Dynamic Routes for Content Archives

Build dynamic Astro routes for blog posts, categories, and tags without sacrificing static output.

Why this matters

Dynamic routes let one template generate many static pages. That keeps archive coverage broad while the codebase stays small.

Setup

Use [slug].astro for posts and [category].astro or [tag].astro for archives. Generate paths from content collection data.

Implementation notes

Sort posts by date before passing them to templates. Keep slugs lowercase and human-readable so internal links remain predictable across deployments.

Final checklist

  • Paths are generated from content
  • Archive templates are reusable
  • Slugs are stable and readable
