This morning I published a post on my #blog about using @eleventy to generate #Netlify scheduled functions.
Actually, the website published it for me...
https://lukeb.co.uk/blog/2022/12/07/letting-eleventy-schedule-its-own-builds/
@codefoodpixels @eleventy is it possible to use this just to rebuild a site daily? I’m using an api to pull updated data from a feed and need the site to rebuild daily so it has the updated data. I was under the impression that I had to use GitHub actions for this. I found this repo with details https://github.com/Jinksi/netlify-build-github-actions.
Honey I just want the cleanest, easiest way to do this because I have 70 sites that will need to be rebuilt daily.
@MarkCodesTheWeb Yeah! You can use the version of the function in the "Rebuilding your Netlify site with Scheduled Functions" section and not generate it every time it rebuilds.
The example in that section does a rebuild daily at 10:30 UTC, but you can change the cron pattern to whatever you want.
Then save that file in <<rootdir>>/netlify/functions/<<whatever_you_want>>.js and then Netlify will deploy it.
@codefoodpixels thanks I feel like this will be much easier.
@MarkCodesTheWeb Yeah, I used to use the GitHub Actions route, but it was a pain if I didn't remember to re-enable the Action after 60 days
@MarkCodesTheWeb @codefoodpixels @eleventy You could also use just an IFTTT action! Netlify generates deploy webhooks that you can just trigger daily.
@uncenter @codefoodpixels @eleventy thanks this is what we’re doing. We built a CMS on another site that controls all the data for all these sites and we have a daily CRON job that triggers the build hook every morning.
