Eleventy blog template

11TA - 11ty, TailwindCSS, & Alpine.js Template

UPDATE v2.0.0 - Breaking Changes In order to provide scalability and cleaner frontmatter controls in current Posts (and upcoming Products) collections, the Frontmatter keys were updated which required updates to /src/_includes/components/*.njk, tailwind.config.js, and other templates. I apologize for the inconvenience.

I set out to build a starter project template for 11ty that has TailwindCSS and Alpine.js baked in.

Version 1.0.0 morphed into a deeply customizable, full featured, text-based CMS for managing small websites with easy-to-manage configuration files in the /src/_data/ directory.

Live Demo

The live demo at "11ta.netlify.app" provides a feature list, and the evolving blog posts each highlight and provide examples of different features, shortcodes, customizations, and frontmatter controls.

🔥 Credit 🔥

First and foremost, I want to credit the 11ty community, especially those listed in the starter projects!

Specifically, the following starter projects helped me understand the power and flexibility of 11ty and from their examples I was able to extend the functionality to build this system:

• 🔥 eleventy-base-blog by Zach Leatherman
• 🔥 eastslopestudio-eleventy-starter by Ryan Scherler
• 🔥 eleventyone by Phil Hawksworth
• 🔥 eleventy-tailwind-alpinejs-starter by Greg Wolanski
• 🔥 jet by Marc Amos
