election-dashboard

An Electron kiosk app that displays election forecast graphs from fivethirtyeight one at a time.

Based on resin-electronjs boilerplate.

Usage

Clone this repo, cd election-dashboard/app, npm install, npm start. But I use this as a resin.io app. See the boilerplate readme linked above for how to set that up.

Configure via environment variables

Variable Name	Value	Description
FIVETHIRTYEIGHT_PAGE_DURATION	# of milliseconds	how long each page is shown before moving to the next (default: 15 seconds)
FIVETHIRTYEIGHT_REFRESH_FREQUENCY	# of milliseconds	how often to refresh the page (to get updated data) (default: 30 minutes)

• URL_LAUNCHER_WIDTH | int (converted from string) | defaults to 1920
• URL_LAUNCHER_HEIGHT | int (converted from string) | defaults to 1080

Apply the above settings in the "Fleet Configuration" panel (if applying it for the all devices withing your application), or "Device Configuration" panel (if applying it for a single device).
