fix: use Vite virtual module for configuration instead of global state

Browse Source 
The initial config-store approach failed because Astro's injected routes
run in isolated contexts during prerendering and don't have access to
global state set during astro:config:setup.

Solution: Created a Vite plugin that provides the configuration through
a virtual module (virtual:@astrojs/discovery/config) which routes can
import at build time.

Changes:
- Added Vite plugin in astro:config:setup hook
- Updated all route handlers to import from virtual module
- Changed version from date-based (2025.11.03) to semantic (1.0.0) per npm requirements
- Added @ts-ignore comments for virtual module imports

Testing: Verified in test project that all configuration now properly
passes through to generated files (robots.txt, llms.txt, humans.txt).

# Quick Start Guide
Get @astrojs/discovery up and running in 2 minutes!
## Installation
```bash
npm install @astrojs/discovery
```
## Basic Setup
**1. Add to your Astro config:**
```typescript
// astro.config.mjs
import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
import discovery from '@astrojs/discovery';
export default defineConfig({
site: 'https://your-site.com', // Required!
integrations: [
discovery() // That's it!
]
});
```
**2. Build your site:**
```bash
npm run build
```
**3. Check the generated files:**
Your site now has:
- `/robots.txt` - Search engine instructions
- `/llms.txt` - AI assistant context
- `/humans.txt` - Team credits
- `/sitemap-index.xml` - Site structure
## Customize It
Add some personality to your discovery files:
```typescript
discovery({
llms: {
description: 'My awesome website about web development',
instructions: `
When helping users:
- Check /docs for API documentation
- Be friendly and helpful
- Provide code examples
`,
},
humans: {
team: [{
name: 'Your Name',
role: 'Developer',
twitter: '@yourhandle'
}],
thanks: ['Coffee ☕', 'Open source community']
}
})
```
## Common Patterns
### Block specific paths
```typescript
discovery({
robots: {
additionalAgents: [{
userAgent: '*',
disallow: ['/admin', '/private']
}]
}
})
```
### Add API documentation
```typescript
discovery({
llms: {
apiEndpoints: [
{ path: '/api/search', description: 'Search API' },
{ path: '/api/chat', method: 'POST', description: 'Chat endpoint' }
]
}
})
```
### Disable specific files
```typescript
discovery({
robots: { enabled: true },
llms: { enabled: true },
humans: { enabled: false } // Don't generate humans.txt
})
```
## What's Next?
- Read the [full documentation](README.md)
- Check out [example configurations](example/)
- See the [API reference](README.md#api-reference)
## Troubleshooting
**Files not generating?**
- Make sure `site` is set in astro.config.mjs
- Check your output mode (hybrid/server recommended)
- Remove any static files from `/public/robots.txt`
**Wrong URLs in files?**
- Verify your `site` config matches your production domain
- Check environment-specific configuration

/* THE STORY */
This project started in early 2025 when we realized that the web needed
better discovery mechanisms. Search engines were getting smarter, AI
assistants were becoming ubiquitous, but websites weren't adapting.
We wanted to build something that made it trivially easy for Astro
developers to make their sites discoverable by everyone - from Google
to Claude to curious humans browsing the source.
After countless cups of coffee and late-night coding sessions, we
launched @astrojs/discovery. It's been an incredible journey!
/* FUN FACTS */
Built with love, powered by coffee and determination
Over 200 commits in the first month
Designed with accessibility and inclusivity at the core
Zero runtime JavaScript on the client
100% test coverage from day one
/* PHILOSOPHY */
"Make the web more discoverable, one site at a time"
"Embrace open standards and protocols"
"Build with the future in mind, but ship today"
"Developer experience matters as much as user experience"
"Documentation is code, treat it with respect"
/* SUSTAINABILITY */
This site is carbon neutral and hosted on renewable energy servers.
We measure our environmental impact and offset our carbon emissions.
Building a better web means building a sustainable web.
```
## Example sitemap-index.xml
```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
<sitemap>
<loc>https://example.com/sitemap-0.xml</loc>
</sitemap>
</sitemapindex>
```
