Issue 65 - Zach on images, A TypeScript proposal, Another bookshelf, Jason plugs-in URLs, Ghost-ing with 11ty, Alex goes Auth-ing, We're Meetup-ing...And 8 releases, 21 posts and 9 sites to see

5 minutes to read

Welcome to Issue 65 of the 11ty Bundle. 11ty, aka Eleventy, is a "simpler static site generator" that is designed to be simple, flexible, and highly customizable. It is built on Node.js and allows developers to create websites by transforming templates and data into static HTML files. It supports multiple template languages, giving developers the freedom to choose the languages that best suit the needs of their project.

A note from Bob:

Lots of momentum in 11ty-ville, with 21 new blog posts in this issue. I'm so glad that I can get these onto the site quickly with the set of CLI tools that I built (and wrote about here).

Enjoy the feast!


Zach on images. A 2-minute video on how to optimize your images with Eleventy.

A TypeScript proposal. Zach opened a proposal to Add first-party core support for TypeScript configuration, data, and template files.

Another bookshelf. With bookshelves proliferting among the Eleventy-erati, here's another one from Jose and a blog post on how they did it.

Jason plugs-in URLs. Jason Garber brings us a plugin for generating /resource-style URLs.

Ghost-ing with 11ty. The people that created the Ghost publishing platform have some new docs on how to use it with Eleventy. Check it out.

Alex goes Auth-ing. Alex Ward has built a new site with Eleventy, called Auth Omnibus. It seems to cover everything that anyone would want to know about authentication.

We're Meetup-ing. The next Eleventy Meetup is on the calendar for February 6th. It features yours truly on How I built my Books page. And David Moll will cover Umami + 11ty: A Privacy-First selfhosted approach to Web Analytics.

Until next time...
