ntl dev

Project structure

./lib

Contains all code to fetch and format data from the following sources:

  • Contentful
  • GitHub
  • Twitch

./src

Directories prefixed with _ are utility folders, providing global data, layouts, styles, component partials and other functionality.

Other directories (about, blog, dashboard, projects, talks, topics, uses) act as page-level route directories, resulting in e.g. /projects/, /dashboard/ etc in the site build.

The site homepage is built from /src/index.11ty.js.

Inside page-level route directories

  • e.g. /{name}/index.11ty.js builds the /{name}/ route.
  • e.g. /{name}/{name}.11tydata.js fetches the data that is provided to sibling files.
  • e.g. {name}-pages.11ty.js creates a collection of files (or dynamic routes) using Eleventy pagination, available on /{name}/{dynamic_route}/

.eleventy.js

The Eleventy config file:

  • loads plugins
  • defines how to output files and directories from ./src

Build output

Using ntl dev, the site is built to and served from _site.
