Use a plugin for backlinks functionality

[binyamin]

I'm assuming here, but I think you got your backlinks code (in html/pages/garden/garden.11tydata.js) from my Eleventy Garden template.

I just made an 11ty plugin which encapsulates the backlinks code. I'm trying to reach out to people who used my template, in case they'd rather use a plugin. The point is, you can integrate it and update it more easily, and not need to rearrange the site.

• Git: https://github.com/binyamin/eleventy-plugin-backlinks
• NPM: https://www.npmjs.com/package/eleventy-plugin-backlinks

Let me know your thoughts.

Thank you, I will look into it. I've made a number of modifications (some of which I probably should have upstreamed) to the file:

• https://github.com/boehs/site/commit/c932848f0f49e58f1a16fb383587d82dc2b36483#diff-3c512c539ed090a0db508574a189f6d62c4efbe524cdc637b2d617a9cc0cfd86

• https://github.com/boehs/site/commit/52c326653fd5d639dcdef242557eaa4b13045013 & https://github.com/boehs/site/commit/5954b35713eced548f99acf8575e8d53eafc286f

and so I am unsure of how well the plugin will integrate.

In any case, thanks for reaching out!

With your blessing, I would be happy to upstream some of these changes as settings?

Sure, go ahead. Maybe open an issue first. But that sounds great.
