@enhance/eleventy-plugin v1.0.2

@enhance/eleventy-plugin

Build static websites with custom elements.

Quickstart

Create a project.

mkdir -p myproject && cd myproject
npm init -y
npm install @11ty/eleventy @enhance/eleventy-plugin

Add some handy shortcuts to scripts in package.json.

{
  "scripts": {
    "start": "npx @11ty/eleventy --serve"
  }
}

Add the @enhance/plugin-eleventy to .eleventy.js config file.

let plugin = require('@enhance/eleventy-plugin')

module.exports = function (eleventyConfig) {
  let extension = 'html'
  eleventyConfig.addTemplateFormats(extension)
  eleventyConfig.addExtension(extension, plugin)
  eleventyConfig.addWatchTarget("./elements/**/*.mjs")
}

Write some HTML.

<!-- index.html -->
<my-header></my-header>
<strong>powerful html here</strong>
<my-footer></my-footer>

Define custom element templates in a folder named elements.

/** elements/my-header.mjs */
export default function header ({ html }) {
  return html`<header> my cool header</header>`
}

/** elements/my-footer.mjs */
export default function footer ({ html, state }) {
  return html`
  <footer>
    <p>footer here</p>
    <pre>${ JSON.stringify(state, null, 2) }</pre>
  </footer>
  `
}

Run npm start, and preview at http://localhost:8080.

Add data

Add index.json with some default data, and preview result in the footer.

{
  "initialState": { "custom": "data", "is": "here" }
}

Rename elements

If you want to configure your own element tag names create ./elements.mjs to explicitly define tags:

import header from './elements/my-header.mjs'
import footer from './elements/my-footer.mjs'

export default {
  'my-header': header,
  'my-footer': footer
}

Don't forget to update your corresponding index.html!
