Batch website -Deployment Steps

Step 1

Set up the google form to collect information. For that purpose,

• you may make a copy of the given form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1gBGcbN9qrCTsLBmFCsnHDn32b2C1huPCf9Ybdr9KpkQ/edit?usp=sharing

• link the form to the spreadsheet.

• In the spreadsheet, go to File->Publish to the Web and copy paste the link.

Step 2

Clone the repo and install the dependencies

git clone -b master --single-branch https://github.com/sid17/iitky12.git batchWebsite

cd batchWebsite

bower install

Step 3

Change the configuration settings in batchWebsite/settings.json

• spreadsheetLink : Link obtained from step1
• formLink: link to the google form
• defaultSortEntriesBy : default field on which entries are sorted (eg: Name)
• orderDescending: order in which entires are sorted (true/false)
• searchInKeys: list of fields on which search is allowed
• paginateNumEntries: number of entries on a single page

The rest of the fields are self explanatory

Note:

The app does not include a backend and contains just static content. The google spreadsheets serves as the database. In case you wish to host it on github, make a branch named gh-pages in your repo and push the code to it. The website can then be accessed at username.github.io/repo-name
