Template Details
This is an Eleventy starter template derived from Phil Hawksworth's EleventyOne; the current repository is a personal workspace version. It provides an Eleventy skeleton site along with several build helpers: a Luxon-based Nunjucks date formatting filter, a lightweight CSS processing pipeline using PostCSS, an inline JS processing pipeline, and a JS search index generator.
The development workflow centers on Netlify: testing Netlify redirects locally via Netlify Dev and running serverless (FaaS) functions. The README's local run steps are npm install to install dependencies, npm run seed to cache external data sources locally, npm start to build, and after installing the Netlify CLI, netlify dev to start a local server with Netlify capabilities. The template includes example function paths /.netlify/functions/hello and /.netlify/functions/fetch-joke, and provides /api/hello and /api/fetch-joke as proxy addresses via the redirects API.
The repository also offers a Deploy to Netlify button; clicking it causes Netlify to clone the repository to your GitHub account and create a corresponding site, after which pushing changes deploys. Before use, Node and NPM are required, as well as the Netlify CLI. The code is MIT licensed and can be used, modified, commercialized, and distributed for free, but third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons require separate license verification, and external services such as domains and hosting may incur additional charges.

Getting started & customization
Use these recorded setup notes alongside the repository instructions for your chosen version.
- 1
Node and NPM must be installed in advance, as well as the Netlify CLI
- 2
Run npm install to install dependencies, npm run seed to cache external data sources locally, and npm start to build
- 3
After installing the Netlify CLI, run netlify dev to enable Netlify redirects, proxies, and serverless functions before Eleventy
- 4
Example functions are at /.netlify/functions/hello and /.netlify/functions/fetch-joke, with corresponding proxy addresses /api/hello and /api/fetch-joke
- 5
The code is MIT licensed, but third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons require separate license verification

How this score is calculated
Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.

No demo link is recorded. Use the repository instructions to evaluate the project locally; the screenshot alone cannot establish interactive behavior.
The catalog identifies Eleventy as the primary stack. Check the actual dependency manifest and lockfile for versions and hosting requirements. These notes use recorded metadata, not a code audit or a deployment test.

Source file / repository# EleventyOne [](https://app.netlify.com/sites/eleventyone/deploys) Phil's first port of call when starting another project using Eleventy. This project scaffold includes: - [Eleventy](https://11ty.io) with a skeleton site - A date format filter for Nunjucks based on [Luxon](https://moment.github.io/luxon) - A tiny CSS pipeline with PostCSS - A tiny inline JS pipeline - JS search index generator - [Netlify Dev](https://www.netlify.com/products/dev) for testing [Netlify redirects](https://netlify.com/docs/redirects/) - Serverless (FaaS) development pipeline with [Netlify Dev](https://www.netlify.com/products/dev) and [Netlify Functions](https://www.netlify.com/products/functions)  ## Instructions To get your own instance of this 11ty starter project cloned and deploying to Netlify very quickly, just click the button below and follow the instructions. [](https://app.netlify.com/start/deploy?repository=https://github.com/philhawksworth/eleventyone) ## Wait, what happens when I click that button? Good question. Here's what it will do... 1. Netlify will clone the git repository of this project into your Github account. It will be asking for permission to add the repo for you. 2. We'll create a new site for you in Netlify, and configure it to use your shiny new repo. Right away you'll be able to deploy changes simply by pushing changes to your repo. 3. That's it really. ## Prerequisites - [Node and NPM](https://nodejs.org/) - [Netlify CLI](https://github.com/netlify/cli) ## Running locally ```bash # install the dependencies npm install # External data sources can be stashed locally npm run seed # It will then be available locally for building with npom start ``` ## Add some Netlify helpers Netlify Dev adds the ability to use Netlify redirects, proxies, and serverless functions. ```bash # install the Netlify CLI in order to get Netlify Dev npm install -g netlify-cli # run a local server with some added Netlify sugar in front of Eleventy netlify dev ``` A serverless functions pipeline is included via Netlify Dev. By running `netlify dev` you'll be able to execute any of your serverless functions directly like this: - /.netlify/functions/hello - /.netlify/functions/fetch-joke ### Redirects and proxies Netlify's Redirects API can provide friendlier URLs as proxies to these URLs. - /api/hello - /api/fetch-joke
