Note

2024-08-29 - I'm archiving this repository. While this was a fun experiment and a good opportunity to learn Astro, I've found that this is not quite how I wish to develop websites. I hope the demo can still be useful as a learning tool. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

filament-peek-demo-with-astro

A demo project showcasing the Peek plugin for Filament. This version is a remix of the main demo, using Astro as a decoupled front-end.

The idea is to explore Filament as a light, headless content management system (CMS). You'll find simple content types such as Pages, Posts and Menus, with support for image uploads. For content entry, Pages feature a rich-text editor (Tiptap) while Posts feature a block-based content editor (Builder).

The approach chosen is to run both Filament and Astro locally for content entry, then generate a full static site from the command line. From there, the site can be easily deployed in a variety of ways. Alternatively, it's also possible to run Filament on a server dedicated to content entry, then build and deploy the static site on the server or through automation (e.g. GitHub Actions). Both approaches support live content previews while editing in the CMS.
