Open Web Advocacy Website

This repository contains the source code for and notes related to the Open Web Advocacy website.

The Open Web Advocacy website resides at open-web-advocacy.org.

This website is based on hankchizljaw's 11ty-base project.

Getting Started

This site is built using the Eleventy static site generator and the content of the site is primarily written in Markdown or HTML. Core page content can be found in the src/pages directory.

Requirements

• Node.js
  • Used to run the static site generator to build the website.
  • npm is used to manage the required dependencies.
• Git version control
  • Used to clone down and contribute to the project.
• Git Large File Storage (LFS)
  • Used for managing media content within the repository.

Cloning the Website Files

The website can be fetched using Git like so:

git clone https://github.com/OpenWebAdvocacy/website.git

If you're missing image files after cloning, this may be due to lacking Git LFS support on your system. Double check Git LFS is installed. You can attempt a download of Git LFS files, for the current checked out branch, by running:

git lfs pull

Building the Site

To set up this project, first install the required dependencies:

npm ci

Next, run the project locally using the below command. This will run a local webserver and provide you with a URL to access the site at. Any content changes will be automatically detected and rebuilt by Eleventy.

npm start

To build the production version of this site, use the below command. This will generate out a complete set of files for a static site into the dist/ directory.

npm run production
