Getting started

Start by generating a new repository based on this project.

After cloning (or downloading) the repository to your local machine, install all dependencies with the command

pnpm install

Up and running

The project comes with Eleventy’s built-in development server. You can start the server with

pnpm dev

To trigger a production build, use

pnpm build

Deploy your own

You'll want to fork this repository and deploy your own Next.js website. Once you have an image generator that sparks joy, you can setup automatic GitHub deployments so that pushing to master will deploy to production! 🚀

Cloudflare Deployment

You need to add NODE_VERSION with value 18.17.1 or 20.9.0 on the environment variables setting. Visit Cloudflare pages docs for more information.

Example environment variables for the preview branch:

PUBLIC_SITE_URL=${CF_PAGES_URL}
ELEVENTY_PRODUCTION=true

CSS

Autoprefixer adds necessary browser prefixes. The browserslist settings can be adjusted in package.json.

• Zach Leatherman zachleat.com
• Max Böck’s Eleventastic
• Stephanie Eckles’s 11ty Netlify Jumpstart
