Testing Automated Hero Image System
This post is a test to verify that the new automated hero image system works correctly.
What’s Being Tested
The hero image for this post is test-automation-hero
, which should be automatically detected and imported from the src/assets/images/blog/heroes/
directory without requiring any manual code changes.
How It Works
- Add Image: Simply add any image file to
src/assets/images/blog/heroes/
- Reference in Frontmatter: Use the filename (without extension) in the
heroImage
field - No Code Changes: The system automatically detects and imports the image
That’s it! No manual imports or code mapping required.
Benefits
- Author-Friendly: Content creators never need to touch code
- Automatic: New images are detected and imported automatically
- Optimized: All hero images go through Astro’s optimization pipeline
- Type-Safe: Static imports ensure build-time validation
This should make the workflow much more pleasant for content authors!
