Implementation Notes

• content/about/index.md is an example of a content page.
• content/blog/ has the blog posts but really they can live in any directory. They need only the posts tag to be included in the blog posts collection.
• Use the eleventyNavigation key (via the Eleventy Navigation plugin) in your front matter to add a template to the top level site navigation. This is in use on content/index.njk and content/about/index.md.
• Content can be in any template format (blog posts needn’t exclusively be markdown, for example). Configure your project’s supported templates in eleventy.config.js -> templateFormats.
• The public folder in your input directory will be copied to the output folder (via addPassthroughCopy in the eleventy.config.js file). This means ./public/css/* will live at ./_site/css/* after your build completes.
• This project uses three Eleventy Layouts:
  • _includes/layouts/base.njk: the top level HTML structure
  • _includes/layouts/home.njk: the home page template (wrapped into base.njk)
  • _includes/layouts/post.njk: the blog post template (wrapped into base.njk)
• _includes/postslist.njk is a Nunjucks include and is a reusable component used to display a list of all the posts. content/index.njk has an example of how to use it.

Content Security Policy

If your site enforces a Content Security Policy (as public-facing sites should), you have a few choices (pick one):

1. In base.njk, remove <style>{% getBundle "css" %}</style> and uncomment <link rel="stylesheet" href="{% getBundleFileUrl "css" %}">
2. Configure the server with the CSP directive style-src: 'unsafe-inline' (less secure).
