Check in: Unit 3 ⁠-⁠ Components

Now that you have .astro and .md files generating entire pages on your website, it’s time to make and reuse smaller bits of HTML with Astro components!

Looking ahead

Section titled Looking ahead

In this unit, you’ll learn how to create Astro components to reuse code for common elements across your website.

You’ll build:

  • A Navigation component that presents a menu of links to your pages
  • A Footer component to include at the bottom of each page
  • A Social Media component, used in the Footer, that links to profile pages
  • An interactive Hamburger component to toggle the Navigation on mobile

Along the way, you’ll use CSS and JavaScript to build a responsive design that reacts to screen sizes and user input.
