This site is built with Eleventy and Netlify.

Use the Netlify CLI to inject environment variables stored against the Netlify site — no local .env file needed!

ntl dev

Project structure

---

./lib

Contains all code to fetch and format data from the following sources:

• Contentful
• GitHub
• Twitch

---

./src

Directories prefixed with _ are utility folders, providing global data, layouts, styles, component partials and other functionality.

Other directories (about, blog, talks, topics, uses) act as page-level route directories, resulting in e.g. /activity/, /talks/ etc in the site build.

The site homepage is built from /src/index.11ty.js.

---

Inside page-level route directories

• e.g. /{name}/index.11ty.js builds the /{name}/ route.
• e.g. /{name}/{name}.11tydata.js fetches the data that is provided to sibling files.
• e.g. {name}-pages.11ty.js creates a collection of files (or dynamic routes) using Eleventy pagination, available on /{name}/{dynamic_route}/

---

.eleventy.js

The Eleventy config file:

• loads plugins
• defines how to output files and directories from ./src

Build output

Using netlify dev, the site is built to and served from _site.
