Whoops I seem to have accidently rendered the Features section of UmBootstrap in Astro via Umbraco Content API. I really wanted to do this using HTMX creating a live data island, I have the raw json coming in via HTMX but have been unable to render it so far. Mostly Typescript errors. I am using a component but I think that the HTMX may need to com in via a partial. I will investigate further but if anyone has already done this I'd be grateful for any tips //cc @Richard Soeteman @Harry Gordon https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/905057811682193429/1230797972963459102/Code_ZHLwWQuS7a.mp4?ex=6634a0ef&is=66222bef&hm=26fa11a789aef817b89aae927f4f00ff1190e8e6b5d8586b9822fac3b88be65e&

Hey Dean. I've been doing a fair amount of work with Astro recently, so might be able to help. I'm not 100% sure on what issue you are explaining, but it could be that you need to set a 'client directive' to tell Astro that your 'island' is dynamic. https://docs.astro.build/en/reference/directives-reference/#client-directives

I think you are right and saw that at some point. I don't know how beneficial it would be to have lived data versus some of the workfkows that publish the static pages on publish in Umbraco.

Yeah, definitely value in it for sure. Astro's different in it's approach, as it ships zero JS by default, and you have to tell it if a component is dynamic, which essentially makes it an 'island'. I think going along with this thinking is a good approach. So endeavour to make everything static, unless there is good reason for it not to be.

hey, We're currently doing Umbraco - Gatsby builds but are looking at switching to Astro Appreciate all the info here! If anyones up for setting some type of working group / sharing around Umbraco & Astro would be super keen to be involved. Though we are very early in our investigations so we'd probably be getting more info that we're giving!

Hey @Rich G . That's cool... I also migrated from Gatsby recently. It would be worth checking out this thread: https://discord.com/channels/869656431308189746/1217409689588072519 Lots of useful links in there. Feel free to reach out if you get stuck on anything.

Ace! I didn't know that existed, gonna give it a read
