Site info

Built using Eleventy Netlify Boilerplate - Demo Site

Pre-generated HTML website using the Eleventy static site generator. Deployed on Netlify, using built-in Netlify CMS.

Based on the Eleventy Base Blog repo (see there for additional info on Eleventy usage).

Want to try it out now?

Clicking the button above will deploy a copy of the demo website to your Netlify account (you can create an account during this process if you don't have one) and everything needed for running the CMS:

• A new repository in your GitHub account with the code
• Full Continuous Deployment to Netlify's global CDN network
• Control users and access with Netlify Identity
• Manage content with Netlify CMS
• Process form data with Netlify Forms

Setup authentication

After deploying this project, Netlify Identity will add you as a CMS user and will email you an invite. It is not necessary to accept this invite if you wish to use an OAuth provider (e.g. Github) to manage authentication for your CMS. It is recommended to use this method of authentication as it removes the need for an email & password to log in to the CMS and is generally more secure. You will need to add an OAuth provider in your Netlify app settings under "Settings" > "Identity" > "External providers".

Once you've added an OAuth provider, navigate to /admin on your site, select your provider from the list, and you should then be logged into your CMS. Cool huh?

Now you're all set, and you can start editing content!

Local development

1. Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/danurbanowicz/eleventy-netlify-boilerplate.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 locally

npm install @11ty/eleventy

4. Edit _data/metadata.json

This file contains your site title and author details, and can be used to store any other commonly used site data.

5. Run Eleventy (builds the site)

npx @11ty/eleventy

Or build automatically when a template changes:

npx @11ty/eleventy --watch

Or build and host locally for local development:

npx @11ty/eleventy --serve

Or in debug mode:

DEBUG=* npx @11ty/eleventy

Gotchas

If you change the repo that was created at deploy time from public to private, you'll need to regenerate your token, as the token generated using the deploy to Netlify button can only access public repositories. To regenerate your token, head to "Settings" in your Netlify site dashboard, go to the "Identity" section, then scroll to "Services" where you'll see an "Edit settings" button. Click that and you'll see a text link to "Generate access token in GitHub".
