What problem does it solve?

Use @sensinum/astro-strapi-loader with Astro Content Layer: build Strapi REST query objects (object and object-array populate per REST parameters), let qs.stringify serialize—never inline query strings. Composable query fragments, dynamic zone "on", locale strategies, generateCollections, getCollection / getEntry. Strapi 5, Astro 6+.

Core Features & Use Cases

Load Strapi data at build time into Astro content collections with correct populate graphs, dynamic zones, and i18n.
Build REST query objects using Strapi parameters (populate, locale, filters, sorts) and serialize them with qs.stringify for safe URLs.
Support per-locale collections and multiple collections from the same endpoint, with composeable fragments and dynamic zones.

Quick Start

Configure generateCollections in src/content.config.ts and run the build to populate Astro collections from Strapi.

FAQPage Schema

How do I load Strapi data into Astro content collections at build time?▼

To load Strapi data into Astro at build time, configure generateCollections in src/content.config.ts and run the build to populate Astro content collections directly from your Strapi 5 endpoints.

How do I build Strapi REST queries with populate and locale parameters in Astro?▼

Build Strapi REST query objects using populate, locale, filters, and sorts parameters, then serialize them with qs.stringify. Never inline query strings manually; use composable fragments for safe URL construction.

Does this Astro Strapi loader support dynamic zones and i18n per-locale collections?▼

Yes, the loader supports dynamic zone "on" parameters and i18n locale strategies. It enables per-locale collections and can generate multiple collections from the same Strapi endpoint.

What versions of Strapi and Astro are required for build-time content loading?▼

Build-time content loading requires Strapi 5 and Astro 6 or higher. You need these versions to properly utilize the Astro Content Layer and generateCollections for REST query objects.

Why should I use qs.stringify instead of inline query strings for Strapi REST queries?▼

Using qs.stringify to serialize Strapi REST query objects ensures safe URL construction. Manually inlining query strings is discouraged because it bypasses proper populate, locale, and filter parameter serialization.
