Scripts and Event Handling

यह कंटेंट अभी तक आपकी भाषा में उपलब्ध नहीं है।

You can add interactivity to your Astro components without using a UI framework like React, Svelte, Vue, etc. using standard HTML <script> tags. This allows you to send JavaScript to run in the browser and add functionality to your Astro components.

Scripts can be used to add event listeners, send analytics data, play animations, and everything else JavaScript can do on the web.

src/components/ConfettiButton.astro
<button data-confetti-button>Celebrate!</button>
<script>
// Import npm modules.
import confetti from 'canvas-confetti';
// Find our component DOM on the page.
const buttons = document.querySelectorAll('[data-confetti-button]');
// Add event listeners to fire confetti when a button is clicked.
buttons.forEach((button) => {
button.addEventListener('click', () => confetti());
});
</script>

By default, Astro processes and bundles <script> tags, adding support for importing npm modules, writing TypeScript, and more.

In .astro files, you can add client-side JavaScript by adding one (or more) <script> tags.

In this example, adding the <Hello /> component to a page will log a message to the browser console.

src/components/Hello.astro
<h1>Welcome, world!</h1>
<script>
console.log('Welcome, browser console!');
</script>

By default, <script> tags are processed by Astro.

  • Any imports will be bundled, allowing you to import local files or Node modules.
  • The processed script will be injected into your page’s <head> with type="module".
  • TypeScript is fully supported, including importing TypeScript files.
  • If your component is used several times on a page, the script will only be included once.
src/components/Example.astro
<script>
// Processed! Bundled! TypeScript-supported!
// Importing local scripts and Node modules works.
</script>

The type="module" attribute makes the browser treat the script as a JavaScript module. This has several performance benefits:

  • Rendering is not blocked. The browser continues to process the rest of the HTML while the module script and its dependencies load.
  • The browser waits for HTML to be processed before executing module scripts. You do not need to listen for the “load” event.
  • async and defer attributes are unnecessary. Module scripts are always deferred.

To prevent Astro from processing a script, add the is:inline directive.

src/components/InlineScript.astro
<script is:inline>
// Will be rendered into the HTML exactly as written!
// Local imports are not resolved and will not work.
// If in a component, repeats each time the component is used.
</script>
See our directives reference page for more information about the directives available on <script> tags.

Include JavaScript files on your page

Section titled Include JavaScript files on your page

You may want to write your scripts as separate .js/.ts files or need to reference an external script on another server. You can do this by referencing these in a <script> tag’s src attribute.

When to use this: when your script lives inside of src/.

Astro will build, optimize, and add these scripts to the page for you, following its script processing rules.

src/components/LocalScripts.astro
<!-- relative path to script at `src/scripts/local.js` -->
<script src="../scripts/local.js"></script>
<!-- also works for local TypeScript files -->
<script src="./script-with-types.ts"></script>

When to use this: when your JavaScript file lives inside of public/ or on a CDN.

To load scripts outside of your project’s src/ folder, include the is:inline directive. This approach skips the JavaScript processing, bundling, and optimizations that are provided by Astro when you import scripts as described above.

src/components/ExternalScripts.astro
<!-- absolute path to a script at `public/my-script.js` -->
<script is:inline src="/my-script.js"></script>
<!-- full URL to a script on a remote server -->
<script is:inline src="https://my-analytics.com/script.js"></script>

Handle onclick and other events

Section titled Handle onclick and other events

Some UI frameworks use custom syntax for event handling like onClick={...} (React/Preact) or @click="..." (Vue). Astro follows standard HTML more closely and does not use custom syntax for events.

Instead, you can use addEventListener in a <script> tag to handle user interactions.

src/components/AlertButton.astro
<button class="alert">Click me!</button>
<script>
// Find all buttons with the `alert` class on the page.
const buttons = document.querySelectorAll('button.alert');
// Handle clicks on each button.
buttons.forEach((button) => {
button.addEventListener('click', () => {
alert('Button was clicked!');
});
});
</script>

Web components with custom elements

Section titled Web components with custom elements

You can create your own HTML elements with custom behavior using the Web Components standard. Defining a custom element in a .astro component allows you to build interactive components without needing a UI framework library.

In this example, we define a new <astro-heart> HTML element that tracks how many times you click the heart button and updates the <span> with the latest count.

src/components/AstroHeart.astro
<!-- Wrap the component elements in our custom element “astro-heart”. -->
<astro-heart>
<button aria-label="Heart">💜</button> × <span>0</span>
</astro-heart>
<script>
// Define the behaviour for our new type of HTML element.
class AstroHeart extends HTMLElement {
constructor() {
super();
let count = 0;
const heartButton = this.querySelector('button');
const countSpan = this.querySelector('span');
// Each time the button is clicked, update the count.
heartButton.addEventListener('click', () => {
count++;
countSpan.textContent = count.toString();
});
}
}
// Tell the browser to use our AstroHeart class for <astro-heart> elements.
customElements.define('astro-heart', AstroHeart);
</script>

There are two advantages to using a custom element here:

  1. Instead of searching the whole page using document.querySelector(), you can use this.querySelector(), which only searches within the current custom element instance. This makes it easier to work with only the children of one component instance at a time.

  2. Although a <script> only runs once, the browser will run our custom element’s constructor() method each time it finds <astro-heart> on the page. This means you can safely write code for one component at a time, even if you intend to use this component multiple times on a page.

Pass frontmatter variables to scripts

Section titled Pass frontmatter variables to scripts

In Astro components, the code in the frontmatter between the --- fences runs on the server and is not available in the browser. To send variables from the server to the client, we need a way to store our variables and then read them when JavaScript runs in the browser.

One way to do this is to use data-* attributes to store the value of variables in your HTML output. Scripts, including custom elements, can then read these attributes using an element’s dataset property once your HTML loads in the browser.

In this example component, a message prop is stored in a data-message attribute, so the custom element can read this.dataset.message and get the value of the prop in the browser.

src/components/AstroGreet.astro
---
const { message = 'Welcome, world!' } = Astro.props;
---
<!-- Store the message prop as a data attribute. -->
<astro-greet data-message={message}>
<button>Say hi!</button>
</astro-greet>
<script>
class AstroGreet extends HTMLElement {
constructor() {
super();
// Read the message from the data attribute.
const message = this.dataset.message;
const button = this.querySelector('button');
button.addEventListener('click', () => {
alert(message);
});
}
}
customElements.define('astro-greet', AstroGreet);
</script>

Now we can use our component multiple times and be greeted by a different message for each one.

src/pages/example.astro
---
import AstroGreet from '../components/AstroGreet.astro';
---
<!-- Use the default message: “Welcome, world!” -->
<AstroGreet />
<!-- Use custom messages passed as a props. -->
<AstroGreet message="Lovely day to build components!" />
<AstroGreet message="Glad you made it! 👋" />
