<div class="title">
    <h1>{title}</h1>
    <div class:list={[
        "info",
        (author || pubDate || updatedDate) && "mb-8"
      ]}>
        <div class="flex items-center gap-2 justify-center">
            {author && 
                <Icon name="mdi:account" />
                <span>{author}</span>
                <span>&#xB7</span>
            }
            {pubDate && 
                <Icon name="mdi:calendar-month" />
                <FormattedDate date={pubDate} />
            }
            {updatedDate && (
                <div class="last-updated-on">
                    Last updated on <FormattedDate date={updatedDate} />
                </div>)
            }
        </div>
    </div>

Is there any better to write this component

Hi @mossy peak. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

Yes, there are a few ways to improve and simplify this component using Astro's features. Here's a refactored version that uses some of Astro's directives and component structure:

---
import Icon from 'astro-icon';
import FormattedDate from './FormattedDate.astro';

const { title, author, pubDate, updatedDate } = Astro.props;
---

<div class="title">
  <h1>{title}</h1>
  <div class:list={["info", (author || pubDate || updatedDate) && "mb-8"]}>
    {(author || pubDate || updatedDate) && (
      <div class="flex items-center gap-2 justify-center">
        {author && (
          <>
            <Icon name="mdi:account" />
            <span>{author}</span>
            <span>&#xB7;</span>
          </>
        )}
        {pubDate && (
          <>
            <Icon name="mdi:calendar-month" />
            <FormattedDate date={pubDate} />
          </>
        )}
        {updatedDate && (
          <div class="last-updated-on">
            Last updated on <FormattedDate date={updatedDate} />
          </div>
        )}
      </div>
    )}
  </div>
  <hr />
</div>

Here are the improvements made:

1. We've used the class:list directive more effectively, as shown in the Common Directives documentation.

2. We've simplified the conditional rendering by using a single condition for the entire info section.

3. We've used Astro's fragment syntax (<>...</>) to group multiple elements without adding extra DOM nodes.

4. We've assumed that Icon and FormattedDate are components, so we've added an import for them at the top of the component.

5. We've destructured the props at the top of the component for easier access.

This refactored version is more concise and makes better use of Astro's features. It's also more readable and easier to maintain.

Remember, you can further customize this component by creating a separate layout file if you plan to reuse this structure across multiple pages. You can learn more about creating and using layouts in Astro from the Layouts documentation.

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:
