Production-tested setup for Content Collections - a TypeScript-first build tool that transforms local content files (Markdown/MDX) into type-safe data collections with automatic validation. Use when: building blogs, documentation sites, or content-heavy applications with Vite + React, setting up MDX content with React components, implementing type-safe content schemas with Zod, migrating from Contentlayer, or encountering TypeScript import errors with content collections. Covers: Vite plugin setup, tsconfig path aliases, collection schemas with Zod validation, MDX compilation with compileMDX, transform functions for computed properties, rehype/remark plugins, React component integration with MDXContent, Cloudflare Workers deployment, and production build optimization. Keywords: content-collections, @content-collections/core, @content-collections/vite, @content-collections/mdx, MDX, markdown, Zod schema validation, type-safe content, frontmatter, compileMDX, defineCollection, defineConfig, Vite plugin, tsconfig paths, .content-collections/generated, MDXContent component, rehype plugins, remark plugins, content schema, document transform, allPosts import, static site generation, blog setup, documentation, Cloudflare Workers static assets, content validation errors, module not found content-collections, path alias not working, MDX type errors, transform function async, collection not updating
Status: Production Ready ✅ Last Updated: 2025-11-07 Production Tested: Multiple production sites using Content Collections for type-safe content
Claude Code automatically discovers this skill when you mention:
Sets up production-ready Content Collections for Vite + React, transforming local Markdown/MDX files into type-safe TypeScript data with automatic validation at build time.
✅ Type-safe content - Automatic TypeScript types from Zod schemas ✅ Zod validation - Runtime content validation at build time ✅ MDX support - React components in markdown ✅ HMR integration - Instant updates without restart ✅ Error prevention - Fixes path alias, restart loop, type issues ✅ Transform functions - Computed fields, async operations ✅ Cloudflare Workers - Static asset deployment patterns ✅ Templates - Proven configurations ready to copy
| Issue | Why It Happens | How Skill Fixes It | |-------|---------------|-------------------| | Module not found | Missing tsconfig path alias | Provides exact path configuration | | Vite restart loop | .content-collections not ignored | Correct .gitignore setup | | MDX type errors | Version incompatibility | Compatible version matrix | | Transform types wrong | TS doesn't infer | Explicit type annotations | | Collection not updating | Wrong glob patterns | Verified pattern examples | | Unclear errors | Zod errors not formatted | Custom error messages | | Process hangs | Watcher not cleaning up | Proper cleanup patterns | | Custom aliases fail | MDX compiler doesn't resolve | Files appender configuration |
Total: 8+ documented issues with sources
# 1. Install dependencies
pnpm add -D @content-collections/core @content-collections/vite zod
# 2. Add path alias to tsconfig.json
# "paths": { "content-collections": ["./.content-collections/generated"] }
# 3. Add Vite plugin to vite.config.ts
# plugins: [react(), contentCollections()]
# 4. Create content-collections.ts and define collection
# 5. Create content/posts/first-post.md
# 6. Import and use
# import { allPosts } from "content-collections"
Result: Type-safe content with autocomplete, validation, and HMR!
