|

|
||||
## Getting Started
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Clone this Repository
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/11ty/eleventy-base-blog.git my-blog-name
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Navigate to the directory
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cd my-blog-name
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Specifically have a look at `.eleventy.js` to see if you want to configure any Eleventy options differently.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Install dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
npm install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Edit _data/metadata.json
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Run Eleventy
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
npx eleventy
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Or build and host locally for local development
|
||||
```
|
||||
npx eleventy --serve
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Or build automatically when a template changes:
|
||||
```
|
||||
npx eleventy --watch
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Or in debug mode:
|
||||
```
|
||||
DEBUG=* npx eleventy
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Implementation Notes
|
||||
|
||||
* `about/index.md` shows how to add a content page.
|
||||
* `posts/` has the blog posts but really they can live in any directory. They need only the `post` tag to be added to this collection.
|
||||
* Add the `nav` tag to add a template to the top level site navigation. For example, this is in use on `index.njk` and `about/index.md`.
|
||||
* Content can be any template format (blog posts needn’t be markdown, for example). Configure your supported templates in `.eleventy.js` -> `templateFormats`.
|
||||
* Because `css` and `png` are listed in `templateFormats` but are not supported template types, any files with these extensions will be copied without modification to the output (while keeping the same directory structure).
|
||||
* The blog post feed template is in `feed/feed.njk`. This is also a good example of using a global data files in that it uses `_data/metadata.json`.
|
||||
* This example uses three layouts:
|
||||
* `_includes/layouts/base.njk`: the top level HTML structure
|
||||
* `_includes/layouts/home.njk`: the home page template (wrapped into `base.njk`)
|
||||
* `_includes/layouts/post.njk`: the blog post template (wrapped into `base.njk`)
|
||||
* `_includes/postlist.njk` is a Nunjucks include and is a reusable component used to display a list of all the posts. `index.njk` has an example of how to use it.
