Local Setup

• Astro VSCode extension
• Make sure vscode is configured to use the workspace version of TypeScript. Compiler plugins like typescript-plugin-css-modules depend on it.

Fetching from the GitHub Package Registry

Some of my posts use content loaded from public packages hosted in the GitHub Package Registry. This registry requires authentication, so you must add the following .npmrc file to your project, replacing YOUR_TOKEN_HERE with a Personal Access Token (Classic) having read:packages permission.

@benrbray:registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com
//npm.pkg.github.com/:_authToken=YOUR_TOKEN_HERE

Ideally, I would include this .npmrc in the repository itself and the secret token would be stored in a .env file, but this is not supported by npm. Instead, .npmrc is listed in .gitignore and must be added manually whenever the repository is cloned.
