• Eleventy 3 Upgrade Fixed

  Posted Monday, December 30, 2024 at 11:05 AM  in Eleventy, Static Site Generators
  

  In my Eleventy 3 Migration post yesterday, I described a process I used to migrate several Eleventy sites from V2 to V3. As part of that process, I was able to skip some important upgrade/migration steps because my development and deployment environments run Node.js version 22. Specifically, even though Eleventy 3 expects all modules to use ESM, a feature in Node.js 22 allowed my sites to build and deploy successfully without it. This post describes how I completed the successfully migration to ESM.
