A simple Eleventy Starter Kit, base for new 11ty projects. (Demo Site) This project showcases getting content from headless CMS Kontent, based on the original project by maxboeck.

• Kontent CMS
• CSS Pipeline (Sass, CleanCSS)
• JS Bundling (Webpack)
• SVG Icon Sprite Generation
• Critical CSS
• HTML Minification
• No external builds, everything runs through 11ty

To install the necessary packages, run this command in the root folder of the site:

npm install

1. Login to Kontent.ai and create a new project.
2. Use projectId of the newly created project when initializing DeliveryClient in src/data/home.js.
3. Create Home Content type in Kontent.ai with Home name.
4. Add the Title Text Element.
5. Add the Content Rich Text Element.
6. Create an item named Home based in this Kontent type.
7. After running npm run start content from Kontent.ai will be fetched and used on the Home page.

• Run npm start for a development server and live reloading
• Run npm run build to generate a production build

Styling works with Sass. The main index file is in src/assets/styles/main.scss. Import any SCSS code you want in there; it will be processed and optimized. The output is in dist/assets/styles/main.css

Javascript can be written in ES6 syntax. The main index file is in src/assets/scripts/main.js. It will be transpiled to ES5 with babel, bundled together with webpack, and minified in production. The output is in dist/assets/scripts/main.js

All SVG files added to src/assets/icons will be bundled into a symbol sprite file. The SVG filename will then be used as the symbol identifier and the icon can be used as a shortcode.

For example, if you have a github.svg file in that folder, you can display it anywhere by using {% icon "github" %} in your templates.

Currently, critical CSS will only be inlined in the head of the homepage. This is done by using the critical package in an automatic transform.
