This plugin is a series of shortcodes and filters that aim to help you write and organize your blog

Available on npm.

npm install eleventy-plugin-blog-tools --save

Open up your Eleventy config file (probably .eleventy.js) and add the plugin:

const blogTools = require("eleventy-plugin-blog-tools");
module.exports = function(eleventyConfig) {
  eleventyConfig.addPlugin(blogTools);
};

There are multiple shortcodes and filters in this plugin. Each has its own usage.

The YouTube shortcode takes a YouTube video ID and creates the markup for a fluidly-responsive YouTube embed.

{% youtube "idstring" %}

The YouTube shortcode takes a Vimeo video ID and creates the markup for a fluidly-responsive Vimeo embed.

{% vimeo "idstring" %}

The CodePen shortcode takes multiple values to customize your embed.

{% codepen "URL", "codepen tabs string", "unitlessHeight", "theme ID" %}

{% codepen "https://codepen.io/url/path" %}
{% codepen "http://codepen.io/brob/pen/vGRBeQ/", "css,result", "900", "26704"  %}

The various options have a required order (hopefully that will change in the future):

• url: The full URL to your pen
• tabs: String of the tabs of your codepen to display (default: "html,result")
• height: A unitless value of the height in pixels (default: "300")
• theme: If you have a saved theme in your Pens, you can use them with the id of the theme (default: "");

The first argument is the only required argument and it's the Pen's full URL. In Nunjucks, they need to be comma separated, in Liquid commas are optional.

The related filter will pull items from a list based on parameters passed to the function.

The basic usage is to filter a collection based on an array of items and a threshold.

Syntax: {{ collections.posts | related(<sort-field-key>, <sort-field-data>, <threshold-integer Defaults to 1>, <URL-to-Exclude-optional>)}}

The threshold integer is meant to force a number of array items in common. Defaults to 1.

{% for post in collections.posts | related("sortField", sortField, 1) %}
  {{ post.data.title }}
{% endfor %}
