The development server

Mighty provides a development server, built on top of Astro’s own server to integrate with other backends.

How it works

Section titled “How it works”

When starting the development server, Mighty:

  1. Reads the Astro config file in the project root.
  2. Analyzes included integrations, and adds required configuration for UI renderers (e.g. React) and script injections (e.g. Alpine.js).
  3. Runs Astro’s development server, with custom component rendering middleware included.

In addition, backend adapters may perform additional tasks for better integration, e.g. injecting Astro styles in the <head> tag of Blade views (for Laravel).
