data

This website served me well for almost 5 years with minor improvements, tweaks and hacks. Now, it was time for a total rewrite and upgrading my stack and tools.

A pattern for handling many-to-many relationships.

Let’s walk through the specifics of how to utilize the @eleventy/eleventy-fetch plugin to retrieve data from an API and use it in an Eleventy generated site.

Step-by-step guide to date-based global data sorting in Eleventy, including automated by file last modified and manually via a data property

I don’t usually do multipart posts, but this one grew a bit after I published the initial article. The setup I’ve got there describes how to import content from Notion to Eleventy and render a site. But it’s getting very slow very soon.

In these two videos, we take 110 seconds each to discuss how to use 11ty's Global Data files to pull static data with JSON and dynamic (at build time) data with JavaScript.

Heck yes 11ty hacks

Fetching a whole bunch of data from APIs at build time can be an intensive process. Getting that data in a performant way and caching it locally is an important part of Jamstack projects.

Setting and using data in the static site generator Eleventy

Where does Eleventy get all of its data? Which data overrules other data? I've documented my whole mental model of Eleventy's data cascade.

So that I could control what and how to display.

I enjoy building workflows for pure static sites. I enjoy ingesting data into my build process instead of loading my client-side with fetches. In this example, we'll use Eleventy's ability to use a JavaScript file, to execute code to fetch data on site build, negating the need for task runners like Gulp.
