trsi.org

The website of Tristar & Red Sector Inc. — demos, intros, graphics, music
and news from a group that has been at it since 1990.

trsi.org · built with Eleventy · content from Contentful · deployed on Netlify

---

Getting started

Requires Node 22+ and a Contentful token pair.

npm install

Create a .env in the project root:

NODE_ENV=development
DELIVERY_TOKEN=<from the Contentful space settings>
MANAGEMENT_TOKEN=<from the Contentful space settings>

Then:

npm start          # fetch content, build, and serve on localhost:8080

The first run downloads every asset from Contentful, so give it a minute.

Working on it

Command	What it does
npm start	Full build, then the dev server with watch
npm run serve	Eleventy only — reuses already-fetched content. The fast loop.
npm run build	Production build into dist/
npm run build:content	Refetch and reprocess Contentful, then verify URLs
npm run build:css	CSS only

Where to change what:

• Content — in Contentful, then npm run build:content
• Pages, styles, scripts — src/; the dev server picks them up
• How CMS fields become page data — cms/scripts/transform*.js

One check runs as part of every content build: npm run build:c-verify fails if a title change would retire a URL that has already been shared publicly. If it complains, the fix is usually a stale export — refetch and try again.
