Usage

Step 1 Upgrade Eleventy

Upgrade your project’s version of Eleventy with npm before using this helper plugin.

Upgrading from Eleventy v0 to v1:

npm install @11ty/eleventy@1

Or, upgrading from Eleventy v1 to v2:

npm install @11ty/eleventy@2

Or, upgrading from Eleventy v2 to v3:

npm install @11ty/eleventy@3

Step 2 Install the Helper

Then, install the helper plugin. The major version will match the version of Eleventy that you’re upgrading to.

Upgrading from Eleventy v0 to v1:

npm install @11ty/eleventy-upgrade-help@1

Or, upgrading from Eleventy v1 to v2:

npm install @11ty/eleventy-upgrade-help@2

Or, upgrading from Eleventy v2 to v3:

npm install @11ty/eleventy-upgrade-help@3

Step 3 Add to Configuration File

Add to your configuration file (probably eleventy.config.js or .eleventy.js):

eleventy.config.js

ESM CommonJS

import UpgradeHelper from "@11ty/eleventy-upgrade-help";

export default function (eleventyConfig) {
	// If you have other `addPlugin` calls, it’s important that UpgradeHelper is added last.
	eleventyConfig.addPlugin(UpgradeHelper);
};

const UpgradeHelper = require("@11ty/eleventy-upgrade-help");

module.exports = function (eleventyConfig) {
	// If you have other `addPlugin` calls, it’s important that UpgradeHelper is added last.
	eleventyConfig.addPlugin(UpgradeHelper);
};

Step 4 Run your Build

Run your usual build command (e.g. npm run build) and pay attention to the output. Address any violations and warnings.

Step 5 Remove the plugin

Once you’ve removed all of the violations/warnings from your output, run npm uninstall @11ty/eleventy-upgrade-help to remove the plugin and delete the plugin code from your Eleventy configuration file.
