This allows you to export datasets from Google Refine and post them as JSON to web servers! Intended for use with CouchDB
Work in progress!! more docs soon
Adds this dialog to Google Refine’s interface:
Which then uploads data to the server of your choice! In this case CouchDB:
Run Google Refine. On the starting page click the “Browse workspace directory” link in the lower left corner. Make a folder called “extensions” within the the window that pops up. Copy the refine-uploader folder into the extensions folder. The final path should be:
/PATH/TO/google/refine/extensions/refine-uploader/...
Restart Google Refine.
- Check out the Google refine source code
- Go into the Refine base directory and run
ant - Run
./refine - Clone this repo into as the
extensions/uploaderdirectory inside Google refine - In another Terminal window go into the
extensions/uploaderdirectory and runant
Every time you change a file in extensions/uploader and run ant from that folder it will build the new extension and reload it in the running instance of Refine
This extension was based on the Chicago Tribune’s Stats Extension for Google Refine.
