Just the latest attempt at building my site with Eleventy.
A reminder for when I'm staring at package.json in the middle of the night.
@11ty/eleventy
: the SSG itself
@11ty/eleventy-img
: simplify a little magic cropping for cards
@11ty/eleventy-plugin-rss
: for folks like me who prefer to get site updates in a feed reader
@small-tech/jsdb
: doing some experiments with examining site data
@types/*
: because Typescript wants it
alpine
: some of my site data experiments involve reading Apache log files
eleventy-plugin-shiki-twoslash
: because I poke at all sorts of languages Prism has never heard of
fast-glob
: most of my site data is one form or another of file; this makes it easier to find them
fs-plus
: learning there are easier ways than Node.js stdlib to get at file info
luxon
: for tighter control of date formatting in my <time /> elements
markdown-it
: already default in Eleventy, but explicitly adding it makes the markdown-it plugins happy
markdown-it-attrs
: for adding CSS classes and other attributes inside markdown
markdown-it-container
: for the many notes, warnings, and asides I sprinkle through my articles
markdown-it-deflist
: because I love definition lists
masto
: for syndication to Mastodon
npm-run-all
: so can build styles and site pages at the same time
onchange
: so I don't have to rebuild styles myself
rimraf
: because everyone else is using it for their (npm|yarn) clean tasks
sass
: CSS style management
ts-node
: to let me use Typescript for my my utility code
twitter-api-v2 : for syndication to Twitter
typescript
: to simplify finding mistakes in the code I write
xregexp
: because I like regular expressions and I like them fancy
I use a separate step for resizing images because I'd rather have Nunjucks
macros than an image shortcode that resizes images, and Nunjucks async
support is a "maybe someday" thing.
It seems to periodically forget sharp is installed or something, and I run
yarn upgrade every time I add a package, and sometimes when I didn't. I do
not consider this encouraging.
Sites and posts that I'm leaning on heavily while I assemble this thing.
- Eleventy Documentation
- Structuring Eleventy Projects
- Nunjucks Templating Docs
- Consistent, Fluidly Scaling Type and Spacing
- Eleventy Image Lazy Loading
- Newspaper terms PDF for when I'm running blank on CSS class names
