Testing Eleventy and GraphQL

A small example of retrieving data from a GraphQL API endpoint and using it to build static pages with Eleventy.

Using Dato CMS in this case.

Install and run

Create a DatoCMS account.

• copy .env.example and rename as .env
• add your Dato CMS API Key to your new .env file
• run npm install
• run npm run build to delete the cache folder, load data from API and build the site
• run npm runn dev to spin a dev server and load data from cache (unless you delete the cache file / folder)
