Eleventy v0.2.14

Eleventy is a simpler Static Site Generator!
https://www.11ty.io/

Support Eleventy by starring us on GitHub! This will increase our project’s visibility on staticgen.com, a big giant list of static site generators.

Install

npm install -g @11ty/eleventy

• Getting Started Quick Guide
• Check out https://11ty.io/

Changelog

• Plugin support: Plugins are custom code that Eleventy can import into a project from an external repository. Currently, we have plugins for RSS and Syntax Highlighting provided. This is big and there will be more to come. Read more

• Template and Directory Specific Data Files: This is a super powerful option to configure data files for specific templates (or directories of templates). It was added to configure a default layout for an entire directory of templates, but it can do so much more. Read more.

• Changing a Template’s Rendering Engine: Prior versions of Eleventy tied the template engine specifically to the file extension. We now allow you to override this option using the templateEngineOverride data key. Read more.

• Adds setTemplateFormats method to the Configuration API. (In order of precedence: --formats command line, setTemplateFormats() Configuration API, templateFormats Configuration Object key)

• Adds pathPrefix Configuration Object key, used by the url filter and inserted as a prefix to the beginning of all local href links. For example, my personal blog lives at https://www.zachleat.com/web/, so my "pathPrefix": "/web/". Don’t worry about slashes, we clean them up.

• Adds getFilteredByGlob to Collection API. For example, in your config file, you can create these types of collections:

// Filter source file names using a glob
eleventyConfig.addCollection("onlyMarkdown", function(collection) {
  return collection.getFilteredByGlob("**/*.md");
});

// Filter source file names using a glob
eleventyConfig.addCollection("posts", function(collection) {
  return collection.getFilteredByGlob("_posts/*.md");
});

• Manual passthrough copy: Searching the entire directory structure for files to copy based on file extensions is not optimal with large directory structures. If we know what non-template static content we want to appear in our output, we can opt-in to specify files or directories for Eleventy to copy for you. This will probably speed up your build times.

// .eleventy.js
module.exports = function(eleventyConfig) {
  eleventyConfig.addPassthroughCopy("img");

  // use a subdirectory, it’ll copy using the same directory structure.
  eleventyConfig.addPassthroughCopy("css/fonts");
};

• Support for Asynchronous Nunjucks Filters. Do async work inside your filter!
• Ignore source files in node_modules if .gitignore file does not exist. See #54
• Vaguely described performance improvements
• Bug fixes listed in Milestone
• If you’re eleventy --watching and save while Eleventy is already running, we’ll let you know and run again for you automatically.

v0.2.10: Eleventy-Aught-Two-Ten

Install

npm install -g @11ty/eleventy

• Getting Started Quick Guide
• Making a Simple Web Site with the Simplest Static Site Generator
• Check out https://11ty.io/ (an Eleventy web site, of course)

Changelog

• Configuration API:

  • Add custom helpers, filters, and tags! Read more and here
  • Universal filters: experimental. Add a single filter that cascades to multiple template engine types! Supports Liquid, Nunjucks, and Handlebars: eleventyConfig.addFilter(name, function(value) {});
  • In addition to the filters and tags provided by the templating engines themselves, Eleventy provides url and slug universal filters.

• Layout Aliasing (useful if you’re migrating a bunch of existing content)

  • https://github.com/11ty/eleventy/blob/master/docs/layouts.md#layout-aliasing

• Allow content to use the YYYY-MM-DD-filename.suffix format and this date will be used for sorting in collections.

• Fixed a gnarly bug when mixing template engines between content and layouts (now working as advertised) (#44)

• Additions to eleventy-base-blog. I was able to dump all 10+ years worth of markdown posts from zachleat.com into an eleventy-base-blog branch for a pretty-easy working Jekyll content migration! Stay tuned for more info on migrating!

v0.2.7: Eleventy-Aught-Two-Seven

Install

npm install -g @11ty/eleventy

Read the full Getting Started Quick Guide

Changelog

• The long awaited blog web site sample project: eleventy-base-blog is here—with an RSS feed! (technically Atom) #29

• Adds passthroughFileCopy option as a very basic feature to copy assets (think CSS or images) to the output directory. Read more

• Adds page.url data option to allow comparison with collections.name[…].url to find if the item is the same as the current page (useful for active page classes on navigation) #22 #36

• Bugs with inputDir vs ./inputDir normalization in ignores. #33 #34 #35

• Fixed a bug with --watch and build counts/times

• Layouts can now include a full path (with subdirectories) instead of just a filename: layout: layouts/mylayout.njk

• See full GitHub milestone

• See Code Coverage Statistics

v0.2.6: Eleventy-Aught-Two-Six

Install

npm install -g @11ty/eleventy

Read the full Getting Started Quick Guide

Changelog

• Adds DEBUG=* eleventy mode for additional logging and information! Read more

• Massive speed improvements, found a serious bottleneck in globby when using the gitignore: true feature. Worked around it to shave seconds off execution time.

• Adds big docs page about Layouts in Eleventy.

• Adds --config=MyConfigFile.js command line option to override the default project config file for eleventy.

• Supports a single file input using --input=FILENAME. Thinking about adding support for globs here in the future, if user-requested!

• Adds Code Coverage Statistics to the documentation and an npm run coverage script that automates it.

• See full GitHub milestone

v0.2.2: Eleventy-Aught-Two

Installation

npm install --save-dev @11ty/eleventy

• WARNING npm package name has been renamed to use the @11ty scope. Install using @11ty/eleventy. Previous version (eleventy-cli) is now deprecated (but still works as is). Sorry, y’all—for proper code organization and future maintenance I needed to pull that bandaid off as soon as possible.

• README
• List all issues closed

Release notes

• Tagged content and collections! Add a tags list to your front matter and use the collections.tagName variables in your data. Read more about Collections and Tags
• Adds friendly warning message if you don’t meet minimum Node version requirement (version 8+)
• Worth noting explicitly that unlike Jekyll, files and directories that start with an underscore are processed.
• Adds continuous integration with Travis CI
