eleventy-plugin-slide-decks

🎼 It makes an itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny, web-component slide deck prezzy, which is basically a small SPA. 🎵

🎚️ Write slide decks with eleventy and share them over the web. 🎴

Uses <slidem-deck> to do most of the work for you.

Installation and Setup

npm i eleventy-plugin-slide-decks
echo "_includes/deck.html" >> .gitignore

Then in your 11ty config:

const DecksPlugin = require('eleventy-plugin-slide-decks');
eleventyConfig.addPlugin(DecksPlugin);

Writing Decks

Create a decks directory in your 11ty source root (or use decksDir option). Each slide deck is a single dir under the decksDir. Add an 11ty data file for each deck or for all decks. You must add a single template to each deck's root dir, containing frontmatter for that deck. At minimum, that file should have layout: deck.html and deck: deckdir. For example, if you have a deck in decks/prezzo, you must at very least create decks/prezzo/prezzo.md with this content:

---
layout: deck.html
deck: prezzo
---

Optional frontmatter keys:

title: Slide deck title
author: slide deck author (used in open graph tags)
description: meta description (and og)
lang: en # default
dir: ltr # default
date: 2022-12-02
locale: en-US # default
origin: https://bennypowers.dev # slide deck origin (used in og:url)
coverImage: prezzo.png # used in open graph tags
icons:
  - rel: icon # required
    href: /assets/images/favicon.ico?v=2 # required
  - rel: shortcut icon
    href: /assets/icon.svg
  - rel: apple-touch-icon
    sizes: 72x72
    href: /assets/images/manifest/icon-72x72.png
preconnect:
  - https://fonts.googleapis.com
stylesheets:
  - href: /optional/urls/to/stylesheets.css
    async: true # optional
    media: 'screen and (prefers-color-scheme: dark)' # optional
scripts:
  - src: prezzo.js
    type: module

You can also provide an importMap as data, and it will print in the <head>.

All urls are passed through the url filter for you.

It's possible to put content in this file, but you should expect that content to be invisible, for example, you can put an SVG sprite sheet in there:

<svg id="icons">
  <defs>{% for icon in collections.icon %}
    <g id="{{ icon.fileSlug }}-icon" aria-label="{{ icon.data.title }}">{{ icon.templateContent | safe }}</g>{% endfor %}
  </defs>
</svg>

WebC Decks

If you want to go buck wild, let loose; if you're so excited and you just can't hide it, you can also (deep breaths) use the WebC deck component:

---
eleventyImport:
  collections:
    - webbyprezzy
---
<slide-deck webc:nokeep
            webc:import="npm:eleventy-plugin-slide-decks"
            @title="Super Webby Prezzy"
            @date="2048-02-04"
            @tag="webbyprezzy"></slide-deck>
<script src="more-page-scripts.js"></script>
<script src="load-me-last.js"
        webc:bucket="after"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="webby-prezzy.css">

Don't leave out the eleventyImport or or the webc:nokeep, or else things will break in hilarious ways.

Writing Slides

Each decks slides are located in it's slides directory, and ordered by name. It's recommended to name the slide files 00-first-slide.md, 10-second-slide.md, etc. You should also add an 11ty data file for the slides directory containing permalink: false, in order to prevent 11ty from rendering individual HTML pages for each slide, which would only duplicate the slide content.

So for example:

decks
├── decks.json
└── prezzo
    ├── img.png
    ├── prezo.css
    ├── prezzo.md
    └── slides
        ├── 00-first-slide.md
        ├── 10-second-slide.md
        ├── 99-last-slide.md
        └── slides.json

Stepping Through Slide Content

If you want certain elements of a slide to reveal one by one, specify a CSS selector in the reveal frontmatter key. Take for example this slide:

---
reveal: li, img
---
## Using Slidem

- HTML wins
- JavaScript is p. cool too

![a satisfied and productive slide author](img.png)

When switching to this slide, on step 1 only the heading will be visible, on step 2 the first list item ("HTML wins") will appear, on step 3, the next list item, and on step 4, the image.

Styling Slides

You can set the classname for the slide with the class frontmatter key:

---
class: dark
---

<slidem-slide class="dark"></slidem-slide>

Slides get the name attribute based on their filename, so 00-first-slide.md would render as <slide-slide name="first-slide">. You can then style that slide with good-old CSS. Each slide exposes container and content CSS Shadow Parts:

[name=first-slide] {
  background: hotpink;
}

[name=first-slide]::part(content) {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr;
  gap: 1em;
}

`style` frontmatter

Although using CSS is encouraged, you can also set styles on the slide element with the style frontmatter key. If the value is a string, it will be dumped into the style attribute:

---
style: 'color:hotpink'
---
...

<slidem-slide style="color:hotpink">
<p>...</p>
</slidem-slide>

But if you pass a YAML dictionary or a JSON object, it will be collapsed into a style string for you:

---
style:
  color: hotpink
  font-size: 200%
  animation: jazz-hands
---
...

<slidem-slide style="color:hotpink;font-size:200%;animation:jazz-hands">
<p>...</p>
</slidem-slide>

Extending `SlidemSlide`

You might want to create your own custom slide types by extending SlidemSlide. One case in which this is useful is in providing custom slots to a slide, like a slide which presents a <blockquote> in a <figure> with the author in the <figcaption>. In that case, you can specify the tag name to use for the slide with the is frontmatter key:

---
is: slidem-quote
---
<p slot="quote">
  All our work, our whole life is a matter of semantics, because words are the 
  tools with which we work... Everything depends on our understanding of 
  them.
</p>

<span slot="author">Felix Frankfurter</span>

<img slot="portrait" alt="felix at the window" src="felix.jpg">

<slidem-quote><!-- etc --></slidem-quote>

Options

| option | type | default | description | | ------------------ | -------- | ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------- | | decksDir | string | 'decks' | directory off the 11ty input dir which contains slides | | assetsExtensions | string[] | see below | file extensions to pass-through copy from the decks dir | | target | boolean | esbuild target | esbuild target to use when bundling slide dependencies | | polyfills | object | see below | polyfills to load on the decks page |

By default, files matching decks/**/*.{css|jpeg|jpg|js|mp4|png|svg|webp} will passthrough copy to the output dir.

The polyfills object defaults to the following:

{
  "constructibleStyleSheets": true,
  "webcomponents": false,
  "esmoduleShims": false,
}
