I just converted a site from jekyll to 11ty. How do you do blog categories

[distinctperspective]

I wasnt able to find much on how to use the blog post categories. I got the whole site moved over except the categories.

My site used to take over 45 seconds on Jekyll to rebuild on local machine which is way to slow for development. Takes about 5 seconds for about 350 pages.

I want to move this structure to 11ty...can someone point me in the direction.

I was able to get just the blog index with pagination working but not categories.

If you have categories in your front matter you can access these in your eleventy config while adding collections. Register new collections which are filtered down versions of the original ones, containing only the ones matching your categories.

[Ryuno-Ki]

You can use getFilteredByTag() for that. Treat your categories as tags in Eleventy, for example. Otherwise inspect the data property of a collection item.

I figured out the easiest way was this way below

category.html with

pagination:
data: collections
size: 1
alias: tag
filter:
- all
- nav
- post
- posts
- blogposts
- featurepages
permalink: /Blog/Category/{{ tag }}/
layout: home
renderData:
title: "Category “{{ tag }}”"
permalink: /Blog/Category/{{ tag }}/

but now my category pages are not paginated

Any help??

Ah this is the double-layer pagination problem. There is a way to do this but it isn’t super friendly right now.

See the example I posted here: #332
Also upvote #461 if you’d like to see a nicer way integrated into core
