Where should the eleventyComputed.js global data file be placed?

[anaurelian]

Where should the eleventyComputed.js global data file be placed? I have tried many ways, and it does not work:

• /src/eleventyComputed.js
• /src/eleventyComputed.11tydata.js
• /src/_data/eleventyComputed.js
• /src/_data/eleventyComputed.11tydata.js

module.exports = {
  eleventyComputed: {
    eleventyNavigation: {
      key: data => data.page.url,
      title: data => data.title,
    }
  }
};

I'm using v0.11.0-beta.3. Thank you.

are you overriding any configuration? if so, can you please share.

  ...

  eleventyConfig.addPlugin(eleventyNavigationPlugin);

  eleventyConfig.setDataDeepMerge(true);

  return {
    dir: {
      input: 'src',
      includes: '_includes',
      data: '_data',
      output: '_site',
    },
    passthroughFileCopy: true,
    htmlTemplateEngine: "njk",
    markdownTemplateEngine: "njk"
  }

I also like to mention that a kb.11tydata.js file with the same content placed in /src/kb/ works.

Sorry, this was kind of a silly mistake from my part, the contents of the _data/eleventyComputed.js file should be:

module.exports = {
  eleventyNavigation: {
    key: data => data.page.url,
    title: data => data.title,
  }
};

This correctly writes to the eleventyComputed.eleventyNavigation object, no need to add eleventyComputed: after module.exports, because the file name is already eleventyComputed.

I was doing it wrong:

module.exports = {
  eleventyComputed: {
    eleventyNavigation: {
      key: data => data.page.url,
      title: data => data.title,
    }
  }
};

This was writing to an eleventyComputed.eleventyComputed.eleventyNavigation object, not to to the eleventyComputed.eleventyNavigation object.
