biotools-github-editor

biotools-github-editor is a prototype interface to demonstrate the edition of a bio-tools description directly in a github repository, using a graphical web UI. Parts of the UI code have been reused from the current public version of the bio.tools registry repository (see https://github.com/bio-tools/biotoolsRegistry)

For more information about the GitHub API used in this code, see https://developer.github.com/v3/

Motivation

• Enable the maintenance of bio.tools tool description directly from the source
• Provide an editing interface to facilitate the creation and update of an entry

Architecture

The user interface code reuses the 'frontend' part code of biotoolsRegistry, with a few modifications to the following files:

• js/controller.js
• index.html
• partials/toolEdit.html
• package.json
• gulpfile.js
