# My Online Cookbook

My Online Cookbook is a starter kit to create your own website of recipes, using [Eleventy](https://11ty.io) and [Netlify CMS](https://www.netlifycms.org/). It is meant to be both highly accessible (including to non-developers), as well as fully customisable should you want to use it as a starting off point.

## Features

### 📘 Optimised for recipes
Unlike other general-purpose templates and website builders, My Online Cookbook is optimised for writing, reading and easily finding back your recipes. Quickly visualise which ingredients you need, navigate between recipes in the same categories, and automatically adapt quantities based on the number of servings.

### 💪 Powerful search
The kit includes a powerful live search system offering a UX on-par with third-party services like [Algolia](https://www.algolia.com/), without needing any external dependency.


### 🧰 Lightweight & easily extendable
Easily customise the theme color and other site attributes using the global data files, or dive into the code and change anything easily. The CSS is authored using [Sass](https://sass-lang.com/) and following the [BEM](https://en.bem.info/) naming convention. JavaScript is added where needed using [Alpine](https://github.com/alpinejs/alpine) and following a component-based approach. Images are processed and optimised at build-time using the [Eleventy image plugin](https://www.11ty.dev/docs/plugins/image/). Apart from Alpine, there are no run-time dependencies, making the site both extremely lightweight and easy to pick up and modify.


## Run the site locally
1. `npm install` to install all dependencies
2. `npm run dev` to serve the site locally
3. `npm run build` to build the site for production
