Plugins #

Added in Eleventy 0.2.13

Plugins are custom code that Eleventy can import into a project from an external repository.

List of Official Plugins #

• eleventy-plugin-rss is a collection of Nunjucks filters for RSS/Atom feed templates.
• eleventy-plugin-syntaxhighlight for syntax highlighting using Markdown and Liquid tags.

Unofficial Plugins #

• eleventy-plugin-toc by James Steinbach will generate a table of contents from your headings.

Adding a Plugin #

Install the plugin through npm. #

npm install @11ty/eleventy-plugin-rss --save

Add the plugin to Eleventy in your config file #

Your config file is probably named .eleventy.js.

const pluginRss = require("@11ty/eleventy-plugin-rss");
module.exports = function(eleventyConfig) {
  eleventyConfig.addPlugin(pluginRss);
};

Namespace the plugin additions #

You can namespace parts of your configuration using eleventyConfig.namespace. This will add a string prefix to all filters, tags, helpers, collections, and transforms.

const pluginRss = require("@11ty/eleventy-plugin-rss");
module.exports = function(eleventyConfig) {
  eleventyConfig.namespace("myPrefix_", () => {
    // the rssLastUpdatedDate filter is now myPrefix_rssLastUpdatedDate
    eleventyConfig.addPlugin(pluginRss);
  });
};

This feature isn’t limited to plugins, you could use it yourself with addFilter or addCollection in your config but your code will be more readable if you just change the name string arguments manually (it’s your call).
