Eleventy AMP Plugin
Quickly build interactive websites with Eleventy & AMP.
Installation
Available on npm.
npm install @ampproject/eleventy-plugin-amp --save-dev
Usage
Edit your Eleventy config file (probably .eleventy.js
) and use addPlugin
for integrating the AMP plugin:
const ampPlugin = require('@ampproject/eleventy-plugin-amp');
module.exports = function (eleventyConfig) {
eleventyConfig.addPlugin(ampPlugin);
};
This will turn all pages generated by Eleventy into AMP pages.
Using AMP Components in your templates
You can use AMP components out-of-the-box, For example, for creating an image carousel:
<amp-carousel layout="responsive" width="300" height="200">
<amp-img src="image1.png" alt="an image"></amp-img>
<amp-img src="image2.png" alt="another image"></amp-img>
<amp-img src="image3.png" alt="and another another image"></amp-img>
</amp-carousel>
There's no need to explicitly import the amp-carousel
extension script as it will be added automatically by the AMP plugin:
<head>
...
<!-- this will be added automatically -->
<script
async
custom-element="amp-analytics"
src="https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0/amp-analytics-0.1.js"
></script>
...
</head>
<body>
<amp-carousel layout="responsive" width="300" height="200">
<amp-img src="image1.png" alt="an image"></amp-img>
<amp-img src="image2.png" alt="another image"></amp-img>
<amp-img src="image3.png" alt="and another another image"></amp-img>
</amp-carousel>
</body>
Checkout the AMP documentation for more components to use.
Markdown Support
Markdown images are automatically converted to amp-img
:

The AMP Plugin needs to be able to determine the image dimensions from the image file. Use the imageBasePath
option to customize how to resolve local image files:
const ampPlugin = require('@ampproject/eleventy-plugin-amp');
module.exports = function (eleventyConfig) {
eleventyConfig.addPlugin(ampPlugin, {
// For customizing the location of images assets, pass either a directory
imageBasePath: `${__dirname}/img`,
// ... or a function that returns the correct path based on img src and outputPath.
imageBasePath: (imageSrc, outputPath) => `${outputPath}/../img`,
});
};
Image Optimization
The plugin offers automated image optimization and srcset
generation. The plugin uses AMP Optimizer's built-in srcset generation and eleventy-img for image resizing.
To enable, pass the following options:
const ampPlugin = require('@ampproject/eleventy-plugin-amp');
module.exports = function (eleventyConfig) {
eleventyConfig.addPlugin(ampPlugin, {
// Enable image optimization using the default output dir (`_site`) and image folder (`img`).
imageOptimization: true,
})
You can customize the image generation via:
const ampPlugin = require('@ampproject/eleventy-plugin-amp');
module.exports = function (eleventyConfig) {
eleventyConfig.addPlugin(ampPlugin, {
// Enable image optimization
imageOptimization: {
// The path optimized images should be served from, the default is '/img/'
urlPath: '/images/',
}
// The target dir as configured in `dir.output`, the default is '_site'
outputDir: opts.dir.output,
})
Shortcodes
AMP offers a rich set of third-party embeds. Some of these embeds are available via shortcodes (in all templating languages). They all follow the same pattern:
{% shortCodeName ['shortCodeParams']* layoutDefinition? %}
Shortcodes support all AMP layouts. Layouts are always defined last and use the same parameter order: LAYOUT_NAME? WIDTH? HEIGHT?
. Whereas LAYOUT
, WIDTH
and HEIGHT
are optional depending on the layout.
Here are a few examples:
-
fixed
layout withwidth=300
andheight=200
:{% video 'video.mp4' 300 200 %}
-
responsive
layout withwidth=300
andheight=200
:{% video 'video.mp4' 'responsive' 300 200 %}
-
fixed-height
layout withheight=200
:{% video 'video.mp4' 200 %}
-
fill
layout:{% video 'video.mp4' 'fill' %}
Video
Embed a video. The first parameter needs to be the video src
. Controls are enabled by default. The default layout is responsive
with an aspect ratio of 16:9
.
{% video 'https://amp.dev/static/inline-examples/videos/kitten-playing.mp4' %}
Embed a Tweet. The first parameter needs to be the tweet id
. There is no default layout.
{% twitter "1182321926473162752" "responsive" 375 472 %}
YouTube
Embed a YouTube video. The first parameter needs to be the youtube video id
. The default layout is responsive
with an aspect ratio of 16:9
.
{% youtube "v0BVLgEEuMY" %}
Embed an Instagram post. The first parameter needs to be the post id
. The default layout is responsive
with an aspect ratio of 1:1
.
{% instagram "BMQ8i4lBTlb" %}
Github Gists
Embed a Github Gist. The first parameter needs to be the fist id
. There is no default layout, the recommended layout is fixed-height
.
{% gist 'b9bb35bc68df68259af94430f012425f' 197 %}
CSS
AMP requires all CSS to be inlined:
<style>
{% include "sample.css" %}
</style>
<style>
elements don't need to be defined in the head
, but can be added anywhere on the page. This means, it's easy to modularize your CSS. For example, you can define style and markup in the same file, e.g. components/greeter.njk
:
<style>
.fancy-button {
background: black;
color: white;
border-radius: 4px;
}
</style>
<button class="fancy-button">
{{ buttonTitle }}
</button>
...and then use it in a different template like this:
{% set greeting = 'hello world' %}
{% include "components/greeter.njk" %}
A good idea is to use this approach to modularize your CSS to ensure that your pages will only pull in the CSS that is actually needed.
Tip: Modularizing CSS helps to stay within AMP’s 75kb CSS limit. The AMP plugin will automatically perform minification.
Options
Optionally pass in an options object as the second argument to addPlugin
to further customize this plugin.
const ampPlugin = require('@ampproject/eleventy-plugin-amp');
module.exports = function (eleventyConfig) {
eleventyConfig.addPlugin(ampPlugin, {
// Disable AMP Cache (enabled by default)
ampCache: false,
// The host where the AMP runtime is being served from, the default is cdn.ampproject.org.
ampRuntimeHost: 'https://example.com',
// The optional target dir as configured in `dir.output`. Required for image optimization
// and AMP runtime self-hosting. Defaults to `_site`.
// See https://www.11ty.dev/docs/config/#output-directory
dir: {
output: 'dist',
}
// Download the AMP Runtime, default is false. Requires dir.output and ampRuntimeHost.
downloadAmpRuntime: true,
// Only process files that match a regex.
filter: /^.*amp.*$/,
// Image support in Markdown files might require customizing the location of images assets,
// pass either a directory.
imageBasePath: `${__dirname}/img`,
// ... or a function that returns the correct path based on img src and outputPath.
imageBasePath: (imageSrc, outputPath) => `${outputPath}/../img`,
// Enable image optimization (disabled by default). The default output dir is `_site`
// and the default image path is `/img/`. Otherwise ...
imageOptimization: true,
// ... customize output dir and image path.
imageOptimization: {
// The path optimized images should be served from.
urlPath: '/images/',
}
// Disable CSS minification (enabled by default).
minifyCss: false,
// If your site lives in a different subdirectory, use pathPrefix to specify this. Required
// when self-hosting the AMP runtime.
// See https://www.11ty.dev/docs/config/#deploy-to-a-subdirectory-with-a-path-prefix
pathPrefix: 'test',
// Disable AMP validation (enabled by default).
validation: false,
});
};
Development
Run tests via:
$ npm test
Adding new Shortcodes
You can add new shortcodes in src/shortcodes/. It's best to copy and modify one of the existing shortcodes.
