Get Started

Task-oriented walkthroughs for getting Laika running and wired into your stack.

Getting up and running

• Getting Started — the progressive path: read/write content in the browser, stand up a secure-by-default server, or compile content at build time for a static site.

Integrations

• Astro — use Laika content through Astro's own Content Layer (getCollection, getEntry, render, Zod schemas) with incremental sync and dev-server hot-reload.
• Vite — import content as ES modules at build time through the laika: protocol, for fully static builds.

Decap CMS

Pair Laika with the Decap CMS admin UI. Start with the quickstart, then reach for the deeper guides as needed.

• Decap Integration overview — the two integration shapes and how the pieces fit.
• Self-Hosting Quickstart (FileSystem + Decap) — the simplest complete self-hosted setup, no cloud account required.
• Standalone Worker, Admin shell, Authentication, Widgets & editors, Framework setup notes.
