Prerequisites

Ensure you have Node.js installed.

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/bonilista/bonilista-template.git

2. Install dependencies:

npm install

Usage

To develop, run the following command to start the Eleventy server:

npm  start

Eleventy will start a local server and automatically rebuild when files are changed. You can view your template at http://localhost:8080.

The compiled HTML template can be found at src/_site/. This folder can be zipped and uploaded as a MailChimp template using MailChimp's editor dashboard.

Styling

Inline CSS is encouraged and common in this email template, as it works better between different email clients. Common CSS is placed in the src/_includes/styles/css.njk file and it gets included in the head of the email inside a <style> tag. MailChimp's editor will review this CSS later in the creation process and inline as much CSS rules as possible.

Contributing

Feel free to open issues or submit pull requests. We welcome contributions to improve template quality and functionality.
