fake-astro-loader

fake-astro-loader lets you load any content you want into your Astro content collections. You define the shape of your data using Zod schemas, and fake-astro-loader will generate the data for you using LLMs like gpt-4o-mini. It's useful during the prototyping phase when you don't have real data yet.

Installation

npm install fake-astro-loader

Usage

fake-astro-loader currently supports the following AI providers for generating data:

• OpenAI
• Anthropic

To use fake-astro-loader, obtain an API key from one of these providers. Once you have it, set it as an environment variable, either OPENAI_API_KEY or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, using the export command. For example:

export OPENAI_API_KEY=your-api-key

Additionally, you need to use Astro v4.14.0 or later to use fake-astro-loader. Enable the experimental content layer in your astro.config.mjs:

export default defineConfig({
  experimental: {
    contentLayer: true,
  },
});

Now you can define your content collection in src/content/config.ts:

import { defineCollection, z } from "astro:content";
import { fakeLoader } from "fake-astro-loader";

const fakeBlog = defineCollection({
  loader: fakeLoader({
    modelId: "gpt-4o-mini",
    prompt: "Generate 5 blog posts about Astro.",
    schema: z.object({
      slug: z.string(),
      title: z.string(),
      description: z.string(),
      pubDate: z.coerce.date(),
    }),
  }),
});

export const collections = { fakeBlog };

If you want to generate HTML content for the collection, add a rendered field to your schema and set it to z.string(). Then, update the prompt to instruct the model to include HTML content in the field. After that, you can use the render function to display the HTML content on a page.

There's a demo project in the playground directory, so feel free to check it out to see how to use fake-astro-loader.
