This branch holds the code that powers the 2014 Code for America Annual Report. This is in alpha development phase. We will be breaking things frequently. Don't fork this unless you want to have bad stuff happen.
This version pulls all data out of a Google Sheet and builds it into HTML.
- Check out the report at this link: 2014.codeforamerica.org
- Check out the Google Sheet that serves it at this link.
We built our annual report differently in the past. To see old versions of the report source code, you can visit these tags:
This is currently built using the following technologies:
- Node - To download and cache the Google Sheet data, and to build our pages and serve our HTML
- Express - For routing, and render dynamic data server-side
- SASS - To process SCSS and build our CSS
Core dependencies:
- Node 0.10.x
- Express 2.5.3
git clone https://github.com/codeforamerica/annual.git
cd annual
npm install
node app.js
Then open your web browser of choice and head over to http://localhost:3000.
To start pulling from a different Google Sheet, you'll need to edit getData.js and change the Google Sheet URL. More to come on this later.
- Create a way to "make your own story" - submit your own story card
- Create a super simple path to Fork this, copy the Google Sheet, and start generating your own Annual Report
