# FORKED FROM HERE: Eleventy Photo Gallery



[THIS IS THE REPO](https://github.com/tannerdolby/eleventy-photo-gallery/)



A starter site for creating your own photo or art gallery using the [Eleventy](https://github.com/11ty/eleventy) static site generator.



- [Live demo](https://eleventy-gallery.netlify.app/) - View the project live

- [Deploy on Netlify](https://app.netlify.com/) - Host your own custom gallery



## Getting Started

Quickly generate a highly performant photo gallery from this template by clicking the green [Use Template](https://github.com/tannerdolby/eleventy-photo-gallery/generate) button. Creating a template repository provides the same directory structure and files as the original project.



## Features 

- Build-time image transformations and responsive image markup in templates using [@11ty/eleventy-img](https://www.11ty.dev/docs/plugins/image/)

- High performance scalable site with 100s across the board on each page using [Lighthouse](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/lighthouse/overview/)

- Home page with CSS grid displaying the gallery of images

- Featured image pages

- Gallery page

- About me page

- CSS preprocessor SCSS



## Local Setup

1. Clone this repo: `git clone https://github.com/tannerdolby/eleventy-photo-gallery.git`

2. Navigate to your local copy of the project: `cd eleventy-photo-gallery`

3. Install dependencies: `npm install`

4. Build: `npm run build`

5. Serve locally: `npm run start` or `npm run dev`



## Usage

Add images to a folder such as `images` in your project and then supply an array of image metadata objects in a global data file `_data/gallery.json`:



```json

{

    "title": "Highway covered in water",

    "date": "October 20, 2020",

    "credit": "Photo by Josh Hild",

    "linkToAuthor": "https://www.pexels.com/photo/highway-covered-in-water-2524368/",

    "src": "highway-water.jpg",

    "alt": "Skybridge over highway covered in water",

    "imgDir": "/images/"

}

```



Once the image data is supplied within the global data file `_data/gallery.json` then the home page gallery images and featured image pages will display responsive images with `` using `@11ty/eleventy-img`.



If you don't want to use a [global data file](https://www.11ty.dev/docs/data-global/) simply define the image metadata elsewhere such as in your templates front matter or directly inside the `img` shortcode.



### Creating responsive images in templates



1. Get a large image from somewhere (your file system, a stock photo website, etc)

2. Add the original image to the `src/images/` folder (or a folder of your choice)

3. Use the `img` shortcode to generate responsive image markup using ``

4. This performs image transformations at build-time, creating varying image dimensions in the specified formats (`.jpg`, `.webp`, etc) from the original image, which outputs to the specified `outputDir` in the `img` shortcode within `.eleventy.js`



```js

{% img 

    src="car.jpg",

    alt="A photo of a car",

    sizes="(max-width: 450px) 33.3vw, 100vw",

    className="my-img",

%}

```



## Compiling SCSS to CSS

All of the projects CSS is compiled from Sass at build-time. The main SCSS file is `src/_includes/sass/style.scss` and thats where partials, mixins, and variables are loaded in with `@use` rules. 



If you want to change up the styles, you can write directly in `style.scss` for the changes to be compiled and used. 



Otherwise, if you want to continue using a "modular" approach with separate SCSS files. You follow these steps:



1. Create a new partial file in a specific directory ('sass/partials', 'sass/mixins', 'sass/vars') like `_some-file.scss` where the underscore prefixed at the beginning signals that the file is a [partial](https://sass-lang.com/documentation/at-rules/use#partials). These files are meant to be loaded as modules and not directly compiled.



2. Write Sass code and style away!



3. Load the stylesheets with a `@forward` rule in the [index files](https://sass-lang.com/documentation/at-rules/use#index-files) like `@forward "./some-file";` within `_index.scss` within the directory so they can be loaded with `@use` in the scss file that is compiled to CSS.



4. Load the stylesheets using `@use` rules from the directory in which you need a specific file. Therefore, if I created a new file within `sass/mixins` called `_url-short.scss` and wanted to load that file in `style.scss`, I would use `@use "mixins" as *` to load the stylesheets within the `mixins` directory as one module while also ensuring the module isn't loaded with a namespace.



_Read more about loading members and namespaces here in [Sass docs](https://sass-lang.com/documentation/at-rules/use#loading-members)_
