Nunjucks for js files

In #11, I mentioned being able to use templates with js files, so I can for example populate an array from shared data. You can do this In Jekyll (and can define layout: null for non-html files). I hoped that if I specified a _data.json with templateEngine: njk it would work, but it ignores the directory. If I rename the js file to *.njk, then it creates an output html, but doesn’t parse the templates.

In the particular case I’m working on, I can get around this by including the js in the html file, but that’s not very efficient if I have several html pages that use the same js.

Deno/Lume is way faster than Jekyll: the site I’m working on took several minutes with Jekyll, but <1 minute with Lume, and most of that is loading the Docker image.

just for interest, here’s a screenshot of recent commits to my site (>1300 pages). Spot the difference!

yes, sorry, my bad. I had the js in a new dir, and forgot to copy _data over. Duh! Works fine, including layout: null. 👍
