How I decomposed an 866-line .eleventy.js monolith into four focused modules, fixed some lurking bugs, and eliminated dead CSS and dead dependencies along the way.

I moved this site over to Eleventy, so I want to provide an update to the many posts I’ve written on the subject in the past. This posts assumes you’ve followed the basic Getting Started guide on the Eleventy website to install the dependencies required.

I recently felt like getting back into blogging. But setting up and maintaining WordPress felt like more than I was looking for. I was looking for something much simpler. Preferably file-based and with Markdown support. That was my introduction to Eleventy.

I have a bunch (too much?) content on this site and I use a collection containing a few child functions to aggregate all of it into a sitemap, search index and unified feed that gets syndicated to Mastodon.

I've been tinkering with a new Eleventy project and decided to fire it up using the 3 beta version.

Trevor Morris (8)

Everything shared from my site to Mastodon runs out of a single all activity RSS feed. You're welcome to subscribe to it, but it's formatted with social syndication in mind — emojis, hashtags and truncation that match that use case. This feed is populated from a fairly verbose `processConten

After organising Eleventy filters, shortcodes etc I had an idea to tidy the code even more and make it dynamic. I wanted to automatically import any new functions that were added, including new when using files.

If you're building up a custom Eleventy collection using addCollection, you may need to use existing filters to create the desired data.

In Eleventy, when you place a JSON file, with the same name, as the folder, within that folder, the data from the JSON file is automatically applied to all files within that folder. This mechanism is a convenient way to apply metadata to a group of files without having to manually include it in each

I want to create an archive of all my writing. One source is the author RSS feeds of blogs I wrote for. How about I turn it into an eleventy collection?

Rob O'Leary (13)

I've spent the last, uh, month or so inching my way towards leveraging a CMS to manage the content on this site. It started with improving my self-hosted scrobbling setup, importing yet more of my personal data and then looking around at friendlier options to manage what I'd spun up.

Eleventy (the cool static site generator) has a great feature called Pagination which allows you to iterate over a list of things in chunks and produce multiple output files. As I was migrating this very site over to Eleventy, I found I needed to perform a double pagination. This is when, during pag
