Good morning readers! I'm writing this in a hotel room in Tuscaloosa where my wife and I are visiting our son. He was presented with a significant award a few nights ago (the Algernon Sydney Sullivan award) and we stayed up a few extra days. We're about to head back to Louisiana so I thought I'd share a few quick links with folks. Have a great Sunday.

Taking Eleventy into the Spiderverse with eleventy-fetch #

Here's a great post by Jeff Sikes where he describes how he made use of the Marvel API in an Eleventy site. That's mixing two of my favorite things, Marvel and Eleventy! I really wish Marvel would continue working on their API. The last update was nearly a decade ago, but on the other hand, I'm happy they just didn't shut it down.

Eleventy Collection Schemas #

Yet another awesome Eleventy tip from Stephanie Eckles, this post documents an Eleventy plugin for enforcing your frontmatter setup in Eleventy collections. This is really a good idea since Eleventy gives you complete freedom over your frontmatter, being able to enforce certain rules in your site will help prevent issues in your site. Heck, I made a mistake with my frontmatter a few weeks ago and this would have really helped!

Frontend Development Projects with Vue 3 - Second Edition #

About a year or so ago I was involved in the writing of a Vue 2 book for Packt, and now that book has been updated for Vue 3 by myself and Maya Shavin. I have to say - I've been kinda... not again... but not terribly excited about Vue lately. That being said, having used Vue 3 (obviously) for working on this book, I'm feeling somewhat better about it. I still don't think Vue is going to be my framework of choice going forward, I really prefer Alpine, but for any "application", I'd definitely build it in Vue 3.

You can get the book from Packt here, https://www.packtpub.com/product/frontend-development-projects-with-vuejs-3-second-edition/9781803234991, or if you buy from Amazon here I'll get an Amazon Associates kickback. Either way, check it out and let me know what you think.
