Hello,
I was wondering if it is possible to build astro as a no-server build, meaning that if I just click on the index.html, the page displays correctly with all the functionality. I have searched the documentation but have not found that option. I am evaluating to use starlight as the template for the documentation.
Thank you,

Hi. In the astro config, you should be able to set
output: "static"
to build a static website
This should also default to static if you don't set the config value for output

do you mean 'serverless' ? like lambda ?

Thank you. Same problem. I think I can be more specific and that somehow I found the problem, but do not know how to fix it. What I want is to access starlight from file://. I have seen that all paths for css and js are absolute. Changing them to relative fixes the problem of .css, but not for .js, as I get a CORS error (moreover, the "origin" header is null). Is there any option I can change? I have seen https://docs.astro.build/en/reference/configuration-reference/#buildformat but I do not think is this one.

Hi, no, I mean accessing using file:// from the browser.

I see, this came up many times before, let me search the history.

oh, thank you
It is weird we do not have a name for this kind of "serverless" anymore

I confused, but your use case is clear, that is like offline opening files in browser.

yep

that's different, that's if you want to keep running in chrome offline with pwa,...

you're welcome, I think "without server" helped find it. If you want to expose your use case, maybe there could be more solutions, I think one reason that intentionally supposed not to work, is security, as browsing files that reference other files cannot be accessed by your browser, which can only see the file you explicitely opened.
so building everything inside html, although feasible, was not followed up as it's like swimming against the current 😉 quite hard.
