eleventy 🕚⚡️ VS astro

This post outlines the steps for migrating an existing BlogCFC blog to a JamStack, with a focus on using Eleventy.

I suggest you to try out eleventhy (https://www.11ty.dev/)

Quite simple to start, and a nice system to add some scripting and styles without the requirement of bringing in a framework.

A production flag enables you to run activities in dev or production such as minifying assets, showing draft posts, etc. There isn't a built-in flag or function that comes with eleventy (11ty) specifically for this. However we have this info at our fingertips.

I can't recommend Eleventy enough!

I converted my WordPress blog to Eleventy 4 years ago and never looked back, it's been delightful!

It’s 2024, and you are about to start a new project. Do you reach for React, a framework you know and love or do you look at one of the other hot new frameworks like Astro, Enhance, 11ty, SvelteKit or gasp, plain vanilla Web Components?

The "dev" script is running the eleventy server in dev mode. The details of the script are not important for this discussion, but to round out the background here is an abbreviated version of my package.json:

Eleventy is a fast and powerful SSG that really shines when it comes to pure static site generation because it does not require the loading of a client-side JavaScript bundle in order to serve content.

The irony is using a JavaScript-based static site generator to make the site: https://www.11ty.dev

Then two years ago I needed a more robust SSR system based on React, so I went with GatsbyJS. It's insanely mature and intuitive, but as we all know that community and business is now drying up too. But the framework is still great.

Now everyone sings the praises of NextJS, which can be used for SSR but is intended for applications and active server endpoints. But more complexity doesn't mean better.

I'm keen to try other simple frameworks when the result is a static site. I may give https://www.11ty.dev a shot.

11ty is a lightweight static site generator. I chopped up my HTML and used the 11ty starter template called eleventy-base-blog as the structural foundation for the site.

Astro is the new hot new web framework on the block. All the cool kids are using it. I've recently given up, drank the Kool-Aid, and gone all in on it.

Built with Supabase, Astro, Unreal Speech, Stable Diffusion, Replicate, Metropolitan Museum of Art

Astro to use every framework at once instead of just react? https://astro.build/

Depending on the stack of the repository you are cloning, you might have to install additional dependencies. For this demo, I'm using my own website, which is a static website built with Astro.js. It which requires to have Node.js installed and Yarn for package manager.

Maybe a bit too elaborate for your taste, but I've used https://astro.build/ and loved every bit of it.

Astro is an open-source JavaScript framework known for its versatility, performance, and new approach to web development. It enables developers to create fast, modern, content-rich web applications and sites using the "Bring Your Own Framework" (BYOF) model.

Astro was always on my list of things to learn. I've been using Remix and NextJS for a while, and I was interested in trying out a new framework. I decided it would be a good opportunity to build the site with it. This decision turned out to be a great one, as it saved me a lot of money on hosting costs later on.

We are continuing to make building fullstack websites and application with Analog and Angular as seamless as possible, and extending the Angular ecosystem through integrations with Astro, Nx, [Vitest]https://analogjs.org/docs/features/testing/vitest, Storybook, and more.

import { defineDb, defineTable, column } from 'astro:db'; const Visits = defineTable({ columns: { id: column.number({ primaryKey: true }), page: column.text({ default: 'home' }), content: column.text({ default: "none" }), pagination: column.number({ default: 1 }), visitor_ip_hash: column.text(), visitor_user_agent_hash: column.text(), visitor_count: column.number({ default: 1 }) } }); // https://astro.build/db/config export default defineDb({ tables: { Visits } });
