dashly A standard library of filters, transforms, & shortcodes for Eleventy

Filters

Filters are plain functions registered with addFilter, so they work in Nunjucks, Liquid, & 11ty.js (JavaScript) templates. This entry re-exports every filter module; for narrower bundles, import directly from a subpath (e.g. @allons-y/dashly/filters/dates).

arrays

Array-manipulation filters for Eleventy. Nunjucks & Liquid have native first / last / reverse filters, but 11ty.js (JavaScript) templates & Handlebars do not. Registering these via dashly makes them available in all four, as checked by test/engines.test.js.

Export Description
first(value, n?) Return the first item of an array, or the first n items if a count is supplied.
last(value, n?) Return the last item of an array, or the last n items if a count is supplied.
reverse(value) Reverse an array or a string without mutating the input.
groupBy(value, keyOrFn) Group array items by a key, a dot-path, or a function.
sortBy(value, keyOrFn, order?) Sort an array by a key, dot-path, or selector function, without mutating the input.
chunk(value, size) Split an array into N-sized chunks.
where(value, keyOrFn, expected?) Filter an array by a key/dot-path equality check.
pluck(value, keyOrFn) Project an array of objects onto a single key or dot-path.

dates

Date-related filters for Eleventy.

Export Description
toISOString(date) Convert a date-like value to an ISO 8601 string.
year(date) Extract the four-digit year from a date-like value.
dateFormat(value, options?, locale?) Format a date using Intl.DateTimeFormat.
longDate(value, locale?) Format a date as a long-form date (e.g.
shortDate(value, locale?) Format a date as an abbreviated month-and-year (e.g.
relativeDate(value, locale?, options?) Format a date as a locale-aware relative phrase (e.g.
timeAgo(value, locale?, options?) Alias for relativeDate.

debug

Debugging filters for rendering template data into output for inspection.

Export Description
dump(value, indent?) Serialize a value as pretty-printed JSON.
jsonify(value, indent?) Alias for dump.

html

HTML-related filters for Eleventy.

  • cleanForRSS requires posthtml as a peer dependency.
  • renderMarkdown requires markdown-it as a peer dependency or a user-provided renderer instance.
  • Both are async & do not work in Handlebars; see each filter for why.
Export Description
stripTags(value) Strip every HTML tag from a string, leaving only text content.
nl2br(value) Replace newline characters with <br> tags.
cleanForRSS(html, options?) Strip tags and elements that are unsafe or undesirable in RSS/Atom feeds.
renderMarkdown(value, options?)

numbers

Locale-aware number-formatting filters built on Intl.NumberFormat.

Export Description
number(value, options?, locale?) Format a number using Intl.NumberFormat.
currency(value, currencyCode?, locale?, options?) Format a number as a localized currency string.
percent(value, options?) Format a number as a localized percentage.

objects

Object-related filters for Eleventy.

Export Description
keys(value) Return the enumerable keys of an object.

strings

String-manipulation filters for Eleventy.

Export Description
firstWord(value) Return the first whitespace-delimited word of a string.
lastWord(value) Return the last whitespace-delimited word of a string.
trim(value) Trim leading and trailing whitespace.
stripWhitespace(value) Remove all whitespace characters from a string.
digitsOnly(value) Strip every non-digit character from a string.
capitalize(value) Uppercase the first character of a string and lowercase the rest.
title(value) Title-case a string by uppercasing the first letter of each whitespace- delimited word and lowercasing the rest.

tags

Tag-list helpers for Eleventy. Use to clean Eleventy's system-tag noise (all, post, posts, etc.) out of a tag list before rendering it.

Export Description
tags(tagList, extraExclude?, defaultExclude?) Filter an array of tag strings to exclude system tags and any additional names supplied either as plugin defaults or as a per-call extra list.

text

Text-analysis filters: word counting, excerpting, and reading-time estimation. Strip HTML so callers can feed rendered post content directly.

Export Description
wordCount(value) Count whitespace-delimited words in a string.
readingTime(value, wpm?) Estimate reading time in minutes for a block of text.
excerpt(value, n?, unit?) Pull an excerpt from a string.

urls

URL-related filters for Eleventy.

Export Description
validateURL(url) Ensure a URL is safe to render.
absoluteUrl(path, baseUrl?) Resolve a path or URL against a base, producing an absolute URL.
