@11ty/import

A small utility (and CLI) to import content files from various content sources. Requires Node 18 or newer.

Features

• Converts imported content as markdown files in your repository. Option to use HTML.
• Downloads all referenced assets (images, videos, stylesheets, scripts, etc) in content and co-locates the assets with the content.
• Works with a bunch of different data sources (see below).
• Resumable: Can stop and resume a large import later, reusing a local cache (with configurable cache duration)
• Safe: avoids overwriting existing files by default (unless you opt-in with --overwrite).
  • This allows you to continue using an import source for new content while editing the already imported content.
  • Use --dryrun for testing without writing any files.
