Getting Started

Install dependencies

npm install

Edit _data/metadata.json

Run Eleventy

npx @11ty/eleventy

Or build and host locally for local development

npx @11ty/eleventy --serve

Or build automatically when a template changes:

npx @11ty/eleventy --watch

Or in debug mode:

DEBUG=* npx @11ty/eleventy

Implementation Notes

  • about/index.md shows how to add a content page.

  • posts/ has the blog posts but really they can live in any directory. They need only the post tag to be added to this collection.

  • Use the eleventyNavigation key in your front matter to add a template to the top level site navigation. For example, this is in use on index.njk and about/index.md.

  • Content can be any template format (blog posts needn’t be markdown, for example). Configure your supported templates in .eleventy.js -> templateFormats.

  • The css and img directories in the input directory will be copied to the output folder (via addPassthroughCopy() in the .eleventy.js file).

  • This example uses three layouts:

    • _includes/layouts/base.njk: the top level HTML structure
    • _includes/layouts/home.njk: the home page template (wrapped into base.njk)
    • _includes/layouts/post.njk: the blog post template (wrapped into base.njk)

  • _includes/postlist.njk is a Nunjucks include and is a reusable component used to display a list of all the posts. index.njk has an example of how to use it.
