Goal16 dashboard
The dashboard is powered by Jekyll. Once you've installed the Jekyll gem and other deps, you can use npm to build and run the application:
gem install bundler
bundle install
npm install
npm install -g grunt-cli
npm start
EDIT: Using yarn now
This project includes a map with a geographic projection different than WebMercator. The new projection is the Equidistant_Cylindrical. (http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/3786) For this purpose, we set some statments in cartoDB in order to be able to make the geometric transformation.
There is a chance, minimal, but there is, that if cartoDB updates it system, this projection'd stop working.
If that happens, you'd only need to run the query you will find here: http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/3786/postgis in the cartoDB account to have it working back.
In development, and on Github Pages, requests are rewritten to .html
files as necessary. For example, /countries --> /countries.html. So,
creating a new page is easy: just add a new HTML file! Jekyll will
handle compilation, and the middleware will handle rewriting.
The app is staged on Github Pages, and is continuously deployed using
Travis. When code is pushed to develop, Travis will run the tests and
will automatically deploy to Github Pages if they pass. Take a look at
/scripts/cibuild if you want to see how it works.
Don't forget to set the correct env var at Gruntfile.js
/goal16for staging''for production
As said, the app is staged on Github Pages automatically, here are some commands to run it manualy
grunt dist
git add -f js/main_bundle.js
git add -f css/main.css
git commit -m 'Automatic Travis Build'
git push --force --quiet origin gh-pages:gh-pages
Github Pages handles all the building, etc. for you. Check it out!
A note on what this command doing: so that we don't have to constantly commit compiled files (like js/bundle.js), we ignore them in Git and then force push them up to gh-pages for deploys. Because of this, you should never work directly on the gh-pages branch, it is entirely disposable.
