Yet another starter kit for Eleventy
Yetty is yet another Eleventy starter kit for my (& your) new projects. Built with accessibility and performance in mind. It also gives you a well organised starting point to extend it for yourself.
Features
- Sass/Scss: Scss files are compiled before Eleventy builds the site. The files are compiled in the
./src/styles
folder and then will be passed through copy (see.eleventy.js
) to the new site created under./dist/
. For Netlify users, an alternative option with plugins is explained here: https://css-tricks.com/making-my-netlify-build-run-sass/. - Critical CSS: Critical CSS is automatically included in the head of the document using the eleventy-critical-css plugin.
- PostCSS (Autoprefixer and PurgeCSS): Both dependencies have been set up to run through the main css stylesheet after Eleventy has generated the dist folder.
- Persistent dark mode using local storage as seen here: https://css-tricks.com/a-complete-guide-to-dark-mode-on-the-web/
- Cache busting via filter based on https://rob.cogit8.org/posts/2020-10-28-simple-11ty-cache-busting/.
- HTML minified on prooduction with https://www.npmjs.com/package/html-minifier package.
- PWA using https://github.com/okitavera/eleventy-plugin-pwa plugin.
- JS compilation and minification with Webpack CLI.
- Image processing with eleventy-img plugin. Generates multiple sizes images in two different formats (jpg and webp), and markup with
<figure>
,<picture>
and native lazy loading. - Modernizr CLI: To build a custom and minified version of the library as seen here: https://v2.14islands.com/blog/2016/04/20/better-way-to-use-modernizr-with-command-line-config/. Yetty is using it to detect if the browser supports Webp as background-image in CSS.
