Using Goodreads Data in Eleventy – Update

/ / No Comments
Yesterday I shared a blog post where I detailed how to take your data export from Goodreads and make use of it in an Eleventy site. While describing the process, I mentioned that I wasn’t terribly confident in the approach. Things got even worse when I tried to make use of the Google Books API as well. (That’s not the fault of the API, more just an issue with how Goodreads reported book titles.) Well, today, Brian Koser reached out and pointed out a much easier way to accomplish the same thing.

If you didn’t get a chance to read that, you can see it in action in this CodePen below: See the Pen Slideshow Web Component by Raymond Camden (@cfjedimaster) on CodePen. After I wrote this, Šime Vidas shared an excellent update to my component with some great modifications. I talked about this version in a blog post, and it’s the version I’ll be using for my post today. What am I covering today? When I demonstrated how to use my web component, it was done via a script include (well, it’s on CodePen, but you get the idea), and then a bit of HTML. Here’s an example. (And... more →
