Content Collections & Routes

Techbyte’s content system is more advanced than a simple “one Markdown file equals one page” setup.

The project uses Astro content collections defined in:

• src/content.config.ts

Main Collections

Techbyte defines collections for:

• pages
• blog
• services
• projects
• team
• testimonial
• sections
• homepage
• and more (about-us, contact, faq, pricing, author)

Several collections are configurable through config.toml:

[settings]
  blogFolder        = "blog"
  serviceFolder     = "services"
  projectsFolder    = "projects"
  testimonialFolder = "testimonial"
  teamFolder        = "team"

That means route behavior and content lookup depend partly on config, not just file names. Note the singular key names: serviceFolder and testimonialFolder.

The Catch-All Static Page Route

Generic static pages are rendered by:

• src/pages/[...lang]/[page].astro

That file:

1. loads all entries from the pages collection
2. creates static paths for each supported language
3. uses SinglePageLayout.astro to render the body

So files like these:

• src/content/pages/english/privacy-policy.md
• src/content/pages/english/terms-conditions.md
• src/content/pages/english/components.mdx

become localized routes through that catch-all page.

Reusable Sections Are Not Standalone Pages

Files in src/content/sections/<language>/ are usually not routed directly.

They are data sources for section components such as:

• src/layouts/components/sections/HeroSection.astro
• src/layouts/components/sections/AboutSection.astro
• src/layouts/components/sections/ServicesSection.astro

This is why editing a section file changes multiple pages at once when that section is reused. Most sections also have a -two variant (e.g. about-section-two.md) consumed by Home 02.

Route Generation Mental Model

Use this simple rule:

• src/pages/... decides the route
• src/content/... usually provides the data
• src/layouts/components/... controls rendering

That separation is powerful, but it is also the main reason Techbyte feels more “app-like” than a basic Markdown theme.
