Running Eleventy inside of a Netlify serverless function.

Requires netlify-cli for local testing, run npm install netlify-cli -g.

1. Run npm start
2. Navigate to the demo URL at http://localhost:8888/.netlify/functions/cloud?name=ZAAAACH

1. Deploy to Netlify
2. There are no other steps 😅

1. Use Eleventy as normal.
   • In this demo src is the input directory.
   • For this demo we include one Nunjucks template (./src/sample-nunjucks.njk), a Global Data file, an include template, and an Eleventy layout.
2. ./netlify/functions/cloud.js is the code for running Eleventy in the serverless function.
   • This requires Eleventy 1.0. this demo is currently using a Canary build. Be careful here, Canary is considered unstable! Don’t use it in production.
   • ./netlify/functions/cloud.js compiles and renders ./src/sample-nunjucks.njk at request time and sets query parameters as Global Data in Eleventy’s cascade.
3. bundle.sh automates bundling your build’s code into the serverless function for deployment. It puts files into your ./netlify/functions/cloud/ directory.
