- [#14019](https://github.com/withastro/astro/pull/14019) [`a160d1e`](https://github.com/withastro/astro/commit/a160d1e8b711b7a214e54406fdf85be2b7338ed2) Thanks [@ascorbic](https://github.com/ascorbic)! - Removes the requirement to set `type: 'live'` when defining experimental live content collections
Previously, live collections required a `type` and `loader` configured. Now, Astro can determine that your collection is a `live` collection without defining it explicitly.
This means it is now safe to remove `type: 'live'` from your collections defined in `src/live.config.ts`:
```diff
import { defineLiveCollection } from 'astro:content';
import { storeLoader } from '@mystore/astro-loader';
const products = defineLiveCollection({
- type: 'live',
loader: storeLoader({
apiKey: process.env.STORE_API_KEY,
endpoint: 'https://api.mystore.com/v1',
}),
});
export const collections = { products };
```
This is not a breaking change: your existing live collections will continue to work even if you still include `type: 'live'`. However, we suggest removing this line at your earliest convenience for future compatibility when the feature becomes stable and this config option may be removed entirely.
