The TL;DR List
Fix for error messaging when attempting to use Node 8
As of Eleventy v0.12.0, Node 10 is now required. Node 8 is end of life (EOL) and no longer supported by Node. There was a small bug in the 0.12.0 release that would not show friendly error messaging when attempting to use Node 8 with Eleventy. That has been fixed.

The TL;DR List
Computed Data
Computed Data is a mechanism to transform the data at the end of the data cascade, before template rendering.
- Read more: https://www.11ty.dev/docs/data-computed/
- All the related issues: #481 #335 #1061 #1043 #1098 #1085 #1031 #1130 #973 #1114 #1138 #1069 #1137 Supersedes and deprecates old
renderData
feature (not removed yet): #942 #941 #289 #816 #912
Incremental Builds
- Incremental support for
--incremental
is ongoing. Follow along at https://github.com/orgs/11ty/projects/3 - This version supports incremental passthrough copy. Changing a passthrough copy file during
--watch
or--serve
only copies the changed file and does not trigger a full build. #977
Shortcodes
- In shortcodes you can now access page variable data under
this.page
without needing to pass in as an argument (works with Nunjucks, Liquid, 11ty.js JavaScript, Handlebars) #741
The Road to ESM
- Adds support for
*.11ty.cjs
files (same as*.11ty.js
files)—thanks @justinfagnani! #826 #827- Can use
.cjs
in config file, template/directory/global data files—thanks @gloryofrobots! #837 #848
- Can use
New Filters
- Filters to retrieve next/previous items in collections. Thanks @pascalw! #529 #819 #983
- Adds new
log
filter for easy console.log from inside templates. #929
The Nitty Gritty List™
- Adds
.npmignore
to streamline npm payload—thanks @pdehaan! #951 #962 - Adds additional performance-related debug messages to help developers analyze and improve performance of builds: https://www.11ty.dev/docs/debug-performance/ #1078
- Make the priority of different file extensions explicit in Global Data—thanks @gloryofrobots! #794 #821
- Now parses a directory data file in the top level input directory. #935 #993
- Support for cooldown period between builds during watch/serve. Adds Configuration API method
setWatchThrottleWaitTime
to set (in milliseconds). Useful if you use a Save All feature in your editor that saves multiple files at the same time. #559 Related to #977 Docs forthcoming: #1003 - Adds
beforeWatch
build event (runs before a re-build during watch or serve, not the initial build) #1042 - To discourage huge passthrough copy in the build, we now show the number of files copied in console log output #1077
- Markdown templates (and thus markdown-it plugins) can receive and use data—thanks @blacksquaresa! #643
- Throw an error if an 11ty.js JavaScript template doesn’t return anything! Thanks @ithinkihaveacat #1013 #1012
- Retrieve a reference to existing Eleventy provided filters in with Configuration API method
getFilter
, docs pending #284
Bug fixes
- Fail silently on empty/null dates in front matter—thanks @DirtyF @dceddia! #850 #786
- Copy improvements in comments/code style cleanup—thanks @samuelpath! #960 #970 #968 #992 #991 #987
- Fix for errors being swallowed in the Error Handler 😭, reporting as
Cannot read property 'trim' of undefined

Eleventy 🕚⚡️ v0.10.0: New year new me
A special note of remembrance
Before we get going here I just want to take a brief moment to remember the very special @jameswillweb who passed away earlier this month. James was diagnosed with ALS in 2013 and was known for his widespread teaching contributions to the web community. Probably the least of which, but one that I will always remember, was his creation of the floating possum mascot for our little Eleventy project. This mascot (nay, mastcot, because it lives in the masthead ok fine but James would have liked that one) lives at the top of the Eleventy docs and links to the Twitter thread he started in 2018. Though we never met in real life, James was clearly a one-of-a-kind. We will miss you ❤️
Donations may be made in James’ name to The ALS Therapy Development Institute or to Quest Youth Ministries at St. John's United Methodist Church.

Features
Official Plugins
- Adds new official Navigation Plugin for hierarchical site navigation and breadcrumbs #419 #210 https://github.com/11ty/eleventy-navigation
- Documentation: https://www.11ty.dev/docs/plugins/navigation/
- New major version of
eleventy-plugin-syntaxhighlight
, only opt-in to line wrapping markup if line highlighting features are used. Read more: https://github.com/11ty/eleventy-plugin-syntaxhighlight/releases/tag/v3.0.0- Documentation: https://www.11ty.dev/docs/plugins/syntaxhighlight/
Configuration API
- Support for arbitrary data file formats in the Data Cascade. e.g.
eleventyConfig.addDataExtension("yaml", contents => yaml.safeLoad(contents));
Thank you @gloryofrobots! #736 #798 #635 #630 #624 #265⚠️ Documentation pending
- Adds
setQuietMode
method to Configuration API so that we don’t have to type--quiet
all the time. #808 - Adds
addWatchTarget
method to Configuration API for programmatic watching of arbitrary files. Thanks @MadeByMike! #803 #641 - Show
pathPrefix
being used in standard console output (if non-default). #807 - Adds
getFilteredByTags
to Collection API #708 #711 #830
Pagination
- Adds a
before
callback option to pagination to allow you to modify the data prior to it being paginated. Very powerful! #699- Documentation: https://www.11ty.dev/docs/pagination/#the-before-callback
- Adds
pagination.alias
andpagination.pages
options to pagination variable. These will help when creating navigation for your pagination. #280 #345 #334 #211- Documentation: https://www.11ty.dev/docs/pagination/nav/
Performance
dependency-tree
npm package used to find JavaScript dependencies was slow. https://www.11ty.dev/docs/config/#watch-javascript-dependencies Wrote https://github.com/11ty/eleventy-dependency-tree to solve this. One major difference here is that dependencies now will berequire’d
to resolve—so be aware of this if your node files aren’t idempotent! This pays off in a huge performance boost when using--watch
or--serve
. #700
Shortcodes
- Better support for asynchronous shortcodes (shortcode functions can return promises). Supported in
11ty.js
, Liquid, and Nunjucks templates. #672 #429- Documentation updated:
- https://www.11ty.dev/docs/shortcodes/
- https://www.11ty.dev/docs/languages/javascript/
- https://www.11ty.dev/docs/languages/liquid/
- https://www.11ty.dev/docs/languages/nunjucks/
- https://www.11ty.dev/docs/languages/handlebars/#asynchronous-helpers (not supported in Handlebars but the docs were updated to reflect this)
- Documentation updated:
Miscellanous
Documentation Web Site
- We launched Contributor Accounts on 11ty.dev, including access to on-site documentation search.
- Documentation moved from 11ty.io to 11ty.dev
- Official Eleventy plugin documentation moved to 11ty.dev
- @Munter added his
hyperlink
checker to the 11ty documentation for link rot checking! Source tweet
Bug fixes

node cache busting on Windows (some JavaScript files may not have picked up changes when watching) #341 #596 #683 Thanks @cschuller! - Fix bug with negated entries (
!
) in .gitignore or .eleventyignore files. The bug caused Eleventy to not process any files. Support was not added for negated entries—they are ignored for now. Thanks @micahmills! #677 #709 - Fix to Sortable implementation, improved tests—thanks @edbrannin! #747
- Fix small variable scoping issue in TemplateWriter—thanks @fredrikekelund! #724 #722

callback option to pagination to allow you to modify the data prior to it being paginated. Very powerful! #699- Documentation: https://www.11ty.dev/docs/pagination/#the-before-callback
- Adds
pagination.alias
andpagination.pages
options to pagination variable. These will help when creating navigation for your pagination. #280 #345 #334 #211- Documentation: https://www.11ty.dev/docs/pagination/nav/
Performance
dependency-tree
npm package used to find JavaScript dependencies was slow. https://www.11ty.dev/docs/config/#watch-javascript-dependencies Wrote https://github.com/11ty/eleventy-dependency-tree to solve this. One major difference here is that dependencies now will berequire’d
to resolve—so be aware of this if your node files aren’t idempotent! This pays off in a huge performance boost when using--watch
or--serve

Shortcodes
- Better support for asynchronous shortcodes (shortcode functions can return promises). Supported in
11ty.js
, Liquid, and Nunjucks templates. #672 #429- Documentation updated:

Eleventy is a Simpler Static Site Generator.
A special note of remembrance
Before we get going here I just want to take a brief moment to remember the very special @jameswillweb who passed away earlier this month. James was diagnosed with ALS in 2013 and was known for his widespread teaching contributions to the web community. Probably the least of which, but one that I will always remember, was his creation of the floating possum mascot for our little Eleventy project. This mascot (nay, mastcot, because it lives in the masthead ok fine but James would have liked that one) lives at the top of the Eleventy docs and links to the Twitter thread he started in 2018. Though we never met in real life, James was clearly a one-of-a-kind. We will miss you ❤️
Donations may be made in James’ name to The ALS Therapy Development Institute or to Quest Youth Ministries at St. John's United Methodist Church.
