glob() loader

The glob() loader populates a collection from many files matching a pattern using the Content Layer API.

Since Astro 5.0 Spec ↗

Syntax

loader: glob({ pattern, base })

Returns

Loader — A content loader that maps each matched file to a collection entry.

Examples

import { defineCollection, z } from 'astro:content';
import { glob } from 'astro/loaders';

const docs = defineCollection({
  loader: glob({
    pattern: '**/[^_]*.{md,mdx}',
    base: './src/data/docs',
  }),
  schema: z.object({ title: z.string() }),
});
Output 
Loads every non-underscore Markdown and MDX file under src/data/docs as a docs entry.

Notes

Imported from astro/loaders. Each file becomes one entry with an id derived from its path (configurable via generateId). The leading underscore convention can exclude drafts. Replaces legacy src/content directory behavior in Astro 5.
