I've been going deep at work using #11ty and honestly, I shouldn't be surprised but I'm continually surprised at how different fully static sites are compared to SPAs and MPAs. I thought I could pull techniques from both but it's turning out I can't really steal much from either.
@braindouche what’s missing? How can we help?
@eleventy
Authentication is whats missing. I just can't tell if it's the auth service, if it's the static paradigm or if it's just me and my lack of experience in this realm.
@braindouche ah, yeah—auth on static sites requires an extra layer.
There are a bunch of options:
1. Serverless
2. Edge
3. Hosting specific features: e.g. https://docs.netlify.com/visitor-access/overview/
Here’s a demo that shows OAuth with Eleventy Serverless: https://github.com/11ty/demo-eleventy-serverless-oauth (and a bonus video on it too, why not: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiwIe8lduGs)
