hello eleventy friends — is there a good way to generate pages for separate data files (instead of one single data file)? e.g. i have `item1.json`, `item2.json`, and `item3.json` and i want to produce `item1.html`, `item2.html` and `item3.html` using the same template.
the "create pages from data" help page (https://www.11ty.dev/docs/pages-from-data/) doesn't seem to help with this setup so i'm a little lost digging around here. thank you in advance if anyone has tips!
@kayserifserif Here is hack to achieve this, https://github.com/saneef/11ty-pages-from-json/blob/main/src/index.11tydata.js
Not quite neat though :D
@saneef @kayserifserif If you did this to combine the data files into a single file, you could then use that file as input to a template that uses pagination that could create a page for each item in the file. https://www.11ty.dev/docs/pagination/#paginate-a-global-or-local-data-file
Yup! I agree with Bob. Ideal way would be to keep all entries in a single JSON (as array) or an YAML file. That is how I do in a couple of websites.
But, here I assume, for some reason they need to be in separate JSON files. ;)
