Using Eleventy Programmatically

.js

const Eleventy = require("@11ty/eleventy");

(async function() {
	let inst = new Eleventy();
	await inst.init();
	await inst.write();
})();

Is there documentation for this?

If I want to run another build, should I just re-run inst.write() or the whole function?

I just ran this verbatim and inst.init() just hung.

I’m don’t remember the context of this gist but 11ty/eleventy#1629 (comment) might be a better bet. Couple of things:

1. this isn’t an officially supported use case yet.
2. That said, I think the only thing about the original that I would consider off is the instantiation. new Eleventy(input, output); are required

Thanks. This does work:

const Eleventy = require("@11ty/eleventy");

(async function() {
	let inst = new Eleventy(".", "./_site");
	await inst.init();
	await inst.write();
})();
