Base

On this page

The definitive root layout for all Standard Garden websites — <html>/<head>/<body>, theme/color-mode/language resolution, and the header/footer slots every page gets by default.

System-layer components (Toast, Confetti, Lab) are not hardcoded here — they’re registered as Gold Standard modules and injected via StndInit‘s hook zones: stnd:base (static Astro components, no hydration) and stnd:client (hydrated Svelte components). To exclude one, use moduleExclude in astro.config: standard({ moduleExclude: ["@stnd/modules/confetti"] }). See Hooks & Extension Points for the full list.
