This repository holds the source and configuration files for my personal website, blaircurrey.com, made with the Eleventy static site generator. My repository for the Eleventy-generated files, which constitute the hosted website, can be found here.
npm run start
gulp
This starts the local server and watches for changes.
- main.scss imports entire bootstrap styling then custom styling is defined
- on save, main.scss is saved as main.css (assuming the style gulp task is watching)
- then main.css is purged of unused css according to the rules set in gulpfile and saved to ./purged/main.css (assuming the purge gulp task is watching)
- ./purged/main.css is copied to the output (assuming the eleventy npm script is watching)
Occasionally the CSS changes do not work as expected. Ensure that purge CSS is working as intended. Cleaning and restarting the services generally fixes any of these problems.
Projects are populated from src/_data/projects.json using the src/_includes/projects.njk template. A NewProject can be added by adding new object like to projects.json:
{
"title": "NewProject Name",
"img": "/img/projects/NewProject.jpg",
"githubLink": "https://github.com/BlairCurrey/NewProject",
"demoLink": "",
"otherLink": "",
"otherLinkText": ""
}
Use "otherLink" to link somewhere other than a github repo or demo, and using "otherLinkText" to set the display text for the link.
Posts are populated from markdown files in src/posts/ using src/_includes/_layouts/post.njk (or whatever is defined in the layout header). Make a NewPost like:
---
layout: _layouts/post.njk
title: NewPost Title
tags: [posts, NewPostTag1, NewPostTag2]
---
This is the body of the post. Write the post in markdown here.
This will show as the excerpt for this post in the list of posts.
<!-- excerpt -->
This part and everything after it will not be included as an excerpt
in the list of posts.
All posts need the posts tag so that they get displayed to the post list page. The other tags are optional. Excerpts can be defined as shown above or seperately in the header:
---
layout: _layouts/post.njk
title: NewPost Title
tags: [posts, NewPostTag1, NewPostTag2]
excerpt: Excerpt defined in the header
---
Excerpts defined in the header take precedence over excerpts defined in the body of the post.
Global variables are set in _includes/_globals.njk and can be imported for use with {% import '../_globals.njk' as globals %}. Set these up to be able to hide posts/blog.
