eleventy-base-blog v9 -- with Deno 🦕

A starter repository showing how to build a blog with Deno and the Eleventy site generator (using the v3.0 release).

Main changes from default 11ty blog starter

package.json is now deno.json (and package-lock.json is deno.lock)

• Scripts → tasks
• Dependencies → imports (via npm specifiers - now there is no more dependencies/devDependencies split)
• npx → direct deno run or deno task
• cross-env → not needed (Deno handles env vars cross-platform)

Imports in JS files now use npm: specifiers

For example:

- import { feedPlugin } from "@11ty/eleventy-plugin-rss@^2.0.4";
+ import { feedPlugin } from "npm:@11ty/eleventy-plugin-rss@^2.0.4";

No more including CSS or JS from node_modules

• Prism CSS now lives directly in /css (the prism-diff.css file already lived here)
• @zachleat/heading-anchors has been vendored (now lives in _vendor directory)

Miscellanous

• nvmrc deleted
• node_modules removed from gitignore
• well-meaning but unwanted (by me) config files deleted: netlify, vercel, jekyll, editorconfig, gh-pages workflow
