11ty-to-codepen

A simple 11ty shortcode for automagically creating pens on codepen!

Prerequisites

There is only one hard requirement (assuming that eleventy is already in place) and that is to allow html in the markdown files. Eleventy defaults to html: false which is also the default for the markdown-it Library.

• Make sure to enable it in your configuration!
• Eg:

/* Markdown Overrides */
let markdownLibrary = markdownIt({
  html: true,
  breaks: true,
  linkify: true,
});
eleventyConfig.setLibrary("md", markdownLibrary);

Installation

Installation should follow the usual NODE dance:

npm i -D 11ty-to-codepen

Usage

First configure your .eleventy.js:

• Import it:

// At the top of the file add:
const codepenIt = require("11ty-to-codepen");
 
// Somewhere before the final return add:
eleventyConfig.addPairedShortcode("codepen", codepenIt);

• Use it in any .md file:

{% codepen "https://unpkg.com/bonsai.css@latest/dist/bonsai.min.css", "https://unpkg.com/uhtml", "Heyyy", "Waz uuuuuuuup", "Test it" %}
 
Some very important code:
 
```html
<h1 class="someClass">Test</h1>
```
 
```css
body {
  --mx: 4rem;
}
```
 
```js
var foo = function (bar) {
  return bar * 2;
};
 
console.log(foo(5));
```
 
{% endcodepen %}
