pwa-asset-generator VS eleventy 🕚⚡️

To generate icons, we use pwa-asset-generator. The first command generates a favicon icon with a transparent background, the second one creates all the necessary icons for a progressive web app, and the third one creates images for splash screens. The last command is optional, in case you have an icon for dark mode.

the easiest to use is still: https://github.com/onderceylan/pwa-asset-generator

Creating our home screen icons manually can be a very complicated task, but not to worry. We'll take advantage of a third-party module known as pwa-asset-generator to generate icons of different sizes from our main app icon inside the public directory with the command below:

If you want to create PWA, you will need icons for your application for different platforms. This package uses pwa-assets-generator to create icons from an image. It will automatically insert links to icons into the HTML of every page and in the manifest.json file along with generated icons. All you need is an image as a template for future icons. By default, it is a favicon.png under the src directory.

Thank you for the article. It is certainly alluring to reduce the number of generated images linked in the in PWA apps.

I use https://github.com/onderceylan/pwa-asset-generator to generate assets for PWA's(have left a message on this repo to read your article!)

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.
