Is introducing #ShadCN UI to an #Eleventy project a good or bad idea?
@finallycanuck I’m making the assumption your building a static site as your using 11ty - it depends how you are going to render the html. If your going to render using js it’s a bad idea for a static site, but if your going to render as html it’s good. But it will be a fair bit of work to do that in 11ty.
@rusticola Hello. It’s an existing static blog site in 11ty.
@finallycanuck Why do you want to put react components into an 11ty blog? If it’s for your own learning fair enough, but it will affect your site’s performance massively unless you are going to build a way to statically render the components at build time.
@rusticola It’s exactly that, for learning. However, I believe it’s a case of being attracted to shiny objects. Maybe I’ll create a sandbox project to play with toys. 🤣
@finallycanuck have a look at https://slinkity.dev/ or https://github.com/jahilldev/11tyby they should show you how to get react working with 11ty
Slinkity

To eleventy and beyond! The incredible build plugin for components, page transitions, and more.

Slinkity
@rusticola @finallycanuck Ah, I recently archived Slinkity. It's no longer actively maintained, and the vite plugins are a year out of date at this point. I'd recommend that second repository you noted. I'll also highlight @astro if you want to fully React + zero JS templates
