Dynamic pages with 11ty and Cloudflare workers

I was rendering about 3300 pages every time my 11ty site built — probably overkill. About 615 artist pages, 1200+ movie pages, 500 show pages, 500 for books and ~35 for genres. Whew. Build times hovered at about a minute (still very impressive!) but would only ever increase.

Moving to 11ty

Yes, I'm moving my blog, yet again. This time from Pika to 11ty. Pika is wonderful, but as a developer who loves tweaking my site, I found 11ty to be ideal. You could argue that I should be focusing on writing more content, rather than messing with my site, but I'll counter that with “but it's fun!”.

Making blog post source files available with 11ty

You can now view the source file for any blog post on my site by replacing the trailing slash with .txt in the URL. For example, the source file for this post is available here. You can also replace the trailing slash with the original file extension of the source. Most of my blog posts are composed in Markdown, so the extension will usually be .md, but my setup also supports the occasional .ojs (for Observable notebooks) or .html post. But .txt will always work.

Eleventy Nested Pagination

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 paginating over a list of blog post years, I found I wanted to also paginate again over the posts in those years, so I could have at most 20 posts on a single list page.

Instead of server-side code and databases, a static site generator is a script that, when run, transforms a folder of text files and templates into HTML.
