How To Create a Custom Astro Loader for Strapi Using Content Layer API

In this tutorial, we learned how to create a custom loader for Astro using Strapi as our data source. We started by setting up a new Astro project and installing the necessary dependencies. Then, we created a new folder called content inside our src folder and added a config.ts file. Inside this file, we defined a collection for our Strapi posts using the defineCollection function provided by Astro. We also implemented a custom loader function called strapiLoader that fetches data from the Strapi API and returns it in a format that can be used by Astro components. Finally, we created an Astro component that uses this loader to fetch and display our Strapi content. We also learned how to use tailwind with Astro and how to enable the new Astro Integration for Content Collections if you are using Astro 4. With what we learned here today, you can build your own custom loaders for your own projects. And you can even push them to NPM and share them with the community.
