So what is it?

This is a community collection of JavaScript one-liners: short snippets of code that accomplish something useful in a single line. The project is built around a website where visitors can browse and discover tips, and anyone can contribute by submitting a markdown file with their favorite single-line snippet. The README is sparse and does not describe the contents of the collection in detail. The repository stores each snippet as a markdown file in a contents folder, and the site appears to be built with Eleventy, a tool for generating static websites from those files. To see the actual snippets, browsing the repository's contents folder or visiting the associated website would give a better picture than the README alone.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
I want to contribute a JavaScript one-liner to the 1loc collection. Show me what a correctly formatted markdown snippet file should look like based on the contents folder structure.
Prompt 2
Give me 5 JavaScript one-liners for working with arrays that fit the 1loc style, short, specific, and copy-pastable with no dependencies.
Prompt 3
I'm building a static site with Eleventy similar to 1loc where each markdown file in a folder becomes its own page. Help me set up the basic Eleventy config to do that.
