+# Installation and setup
+Before installation, ensure your system satisfies the following requirements:
 
-The [`examples` directory](./examples) is regularly updated with different portal examples. 
+- Node.js 10.13 or later
+- Nextjs 10.0.3
+- MacOS, Windows (including WSL), and Linux are supported
 
+> Note: We also recommend instead of npm using `yarn` instead of `npm`.
+> 
+Portal.js is built with React on top of Nextjs framework, so for a quick setup, you can bootstrap a  Nextjs app and install portal.js as demonstrated in the code below:
+
+```bash=
+## Create a react app
+npx create-next-app
+# or
+yarn create next-app
+```
+After the installation is complete, follow the instructions to start the development server. Try editing pages/index.js and see the result on your browser.
+
+> For more information on how to use create-next-app, you can review the [create-next-app](https://nextjs.org/docs/api-reference/create-next-app) documentation.
+
+Once you have Nextjs created, you can install portal.js:
+
+```bash=
+yarn add https://github.com/datopian/portal.js.git
+```
+
+You're now ready to use portal.js in your next app. To test portal.js, open your `index.js` file in the pages folder. By default you should have some autogenerated code in the `index.js` file:
+
+
+Which outputs a page with the following content:
+
+![](https://i.imgur.com/GVh0P6p.png)
+
+Now, we are going to do some clean up and add a table component. In the `index.js` file, import a [Table]() component from portal as shown below:
+
+```javascript=
+import Head from 'next/head'
+import { Table } from 'portal' //import Table component
+import styles from '../styles/Home.module.css'
+
+export default function Home() {
+
+  const columns = [
+    { field: 'id', headerName: 'ID' },
+    { field: 'firstName', headerName: 'First name' },
+    { field: 'lastName', headerName: 'Last name' },
+    { field: 'age', headerName: 'Age' }
+  ];
+
+  const rows = [
+    { id: 1, lastName: 'Snow', firstName: 'Jon', age: 35 },
+    { id: 2, lastName: 'Lannister', firstName: 'Cersei', age: 42 },
+    { id: 3, lastName: 'Lannister', firstName: 'Jaime', age: 45 },
+    { id: 4, lastName: 'Stark', firstName: 'Arya', age: 16 },
+    { id: 7, lastName: 'Clifford', firstName: 'Ferrara', age: 44 },
+    { id: 8, lastName: 'Frances', firstName: 'Rossini', age: 36 },
+    { id: 9, lastName: 'Roxie', firstName: 'Harvey', age: 65 },
+  ];
+
+  return (
+    <div className={styles.container}>
+      <Head>
+        <title>Create Portal App</title>
+        <link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" />
+      </Head>
+
+      <h1 className={styles.title}>
+        Welcome to <a href="https://nextjs.org">Portal.JS</a>
+      </h1>
+
+      {/* Use table component */}
+      <Table data={rows} columns={columns} />
+
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+Now, your page should look like the following:

+## Build a single Frictionless dataset portal
+This tutorial will guide you through building a portal for a single Frictionless dataset.
+
+In this tutorial, you’ll learn Portal.js basics by creating a very simple portal app. [Here’s](https://portal-js.vercel.app/) an example of the final result.
+
+Let’s get started!
+
+> This tutorial assumes basic knowledge of JavaScript, React and Nextjs. If you are not familiar with React or Nextjs, it is advisable to learn them first. We provide some links below to get you started:

+# Architecture / Reference
+
+## Component List
+
+Portal.js supports many components that can help you build amazing data portals similar to [this](https://catalog-portal-js.vercel.app/) and [this](https://portal-js.vercel.app/). 
+
+In this section, we'll cover all supported components in depth, and help you understand their use as well as the expected properties. 
+
+Components are grouped under the following sections:
+* [UI](https://github.com/datopian/portal.js/tree/main/src/components/ui): Components like Nav bar, Footer, e.t.c 
+* [Dataset](https://github.com/datopian/portal.js/tree/main/src/components/dataset): Components used for displaying a Frictionless dataset and resources
+* [Search](https://github.com/datopian/portal.js/tree/main/src/components/search): Components used for building a search interface for datasets
+* [Blog](https://github.com/datopian/portal.js/tree/main/src/components/blog): Components for building a simple blog for datasets
+* [Views](https://github.com/datopian/portal.js/tree/main/src/components/views): Components like charts, tables, maps for generating data views
+* [Misc](https://github.com/datopian/portal.js/tree/main/src/components/misc): Miscellaneos components like errors, custom links, etc used for extra design. 
+
+### UI Components
+
+In the UI we group all components that can be used for building generic page sections. These are components for building sections like the Navigation bar, Footer, Side pane, Recent datasets, e.t.c.  
+
+#### [Nav Component](https://github.com/datopian/portal.js/blob/main/src/components/ui/Nav.js)
+
+To build a navigation bar, you can use the `Nav` component as demonstrated below:
+```javascript=
+import { Nav } from 'portal'
+
+export default function Home(){
+
+ const navMenu = [{ title: 'Blog', path: '/blog' },
+                 { title: 'Search', path: '/search' }]
+ 
+ return (
+   <>
+    <Nav logo="/images/logo.png" navMenu={navMenu}/>
+    ...
+   </>
+ 
+ )
+}
+```
+
+#### Nav Component Prop Types
+
+Nav component accepts two properties:
+* **logo**: A string to an image path. Can be relative or absolute.
+* **navMenu**: An array of objects with title and path. E.g : [{ title: 'Blog', path: '/blog' },{ title: 'Search', path: '/search' }]
+
+
+#### [Recent Component](https://github.com/datopian/portal.js/blob/main/src/components/ui/Recent.js)
+
+The `Recent` component is used to display a list of recent [datasets](#Dataset) in the home page. This useful if you want to display the most recent dataset users have interacted with in your home page. 
+To build a recent dataset section, you can use the `Recent` component as demonstrated below:
+
+```javascript=
+import { Recent } from 'portal'
+
+export default function Home() {
+
+  const datasets = [
+    {
+      organization: {
+        name: "Org1",
+        title: "This is the first org",
+        description: "A description of the organization 1"
+      },
+      title: "Data package title",
+      name: "dataset1",
+      description: "description of data package",
+      resources: [],
+    },
+    {
+      organization: {
+        name: "Org2",
+        title: "This is the second org",
+        description: "A description of the organization 2"
+      },
+      title: "Data package title",
+      name: "dataset2",
+      description: "description of data package",
+      resources: [],
+    },
+  ]
+
+  return (
+    <div>
+      {/* Use Recent component */}
+      <Recent datasets={datasets} />
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+
+```
+
+Note: The `Recent` component is hyperlinked with the dataset name of the organization and the dataset name in the following format: 
+
+> `/@<org name>/<dataset name>`
+
+For instance, using the example dataset above, the first component will be link to page:
+
+> `/@org1/dataset1`
+
+and the second will be linked to:
+
+> `/@org2/dataset2` 
+
+This is useful to know when generating dynamic pages for each dataset. 
+
+#### Recent Component Prop Types
+
+The `Recent` component accepts the following properties:
+* **datasets**: An array of [datasets](#Dataset)
+
+### Dataset Components
+
+The dataset component groups together components that can be used for building a dataset UI. These includes components for displaying info about a dataset, resources in a dataset as well as dataset ReadMe.
+
+#### [KeyInfo Component](https://github.com/datopian/portal.js/blob/main/src/components/dataset/KeyInfo.js)
+
+The `KeyInfo` components displays key properties like the number of resources, size, format, licences of in a dataset in tabular form. See example in the `Key Info` section [here](https://portal-js.vercel.app/). To use it, you can import the `KeyInfo` component as demonstrated below:
+```javascript=
+import { KeyInfo } from 'portal'
+
+export default function Home() {
+
+  const datapackage = {
+    "name": "finance-vix",
+    "title": "VIX - CBOE Volatility Index",
+    "homepage": "http://www.cboe.com/micro/VIX/",
+    "version": "0.1.0",
+    "license": "PDDL-1.0",
+    "sources": [
+      {
+        "title": "CBOE VIX Page",
+        "name": "CBOE VIX Page",
+        "web": "http://www.cboe.com/micro/vix/historical.aspx"
+      }
+    ],
+    "resources": [
+      {
+        "name": "vix-daily",
+        "path": "vix-daily.csv",
+        "format": "csv",
+        "size": 20982,
+        "mediatype": "text/csv",
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+
+  return (
+    <div>
+      {/* Use KeyInfo component */}
+      <KeyInfo descriptor={datapackage} resources={datapackage.resources} />
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+
+```
+
+#### KeyInfo Component Prop Types
+
+KeyInfo component accepts two properties:
+* **descriptor**: A [Frictionless data package descriptor](https://specs.frictionlessdata.io/data-package/#descriptor)
+* **resources**: An [Frictionless data package resource](https://specs.frictionlessdata.io/data-resource/#introduction)
+
+
+#### [ResourceInfo Component](https://github.com/datopian/portal.js/blob/main/src/components/dataset/ResourceInfo.js)
+
+The `ResourceInfo` components displays key properties like the name, size, format, modification dates, as well as a download link in a resource object. See an example of a `ResourceInfo` component in the `Data Files` section [here](https://portal-js.vercel.app/).
+
+You can import and use the`ResourceInfo` component as demonstrated below:
+```javascript=
+import { ResourceInfo } from 'portal'
+
+export default function Home() {
+
+  const resources = [
+    {
+      "name": "vix-daily",
+      "path": "vix-daily.csv",
+      "format": "csv",
+      "size": 20982,
+      "mediatype": "text/csv",
+    },
+    {
+      "name": "vix-daily 2",
+      "path": "vix-daily2.csv",
+      "format": "csv",
+      "size": 2082,
+      "mediatype": "text/csv",
+    }
+  ]
+
+  return (
+    <div>
+      {/* Use Recent component */}
+      <ResourceInfo resources={resources} />
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+#### ResourceInfo Component Prop Types
+
+ResourceInfo component accepts a single property:
+* **resources**: An [Frictionless data package resource](https://specs.frictionlessdata.io/data-resource/#introduction)
+
+
+#### [ReadMe Component](https://github.com/datopian/portal.js/blob/main/src/components/dataset/Readme.js)
+
+The `ReadMe` component is used for displaying a compiled dataset Readme in a readable format. See example in the `README` section [here](https://portal-js.vercel.app/).
+
+> Note: By compiled ReadMe, we mean ReadMe that has been converted to plain string using a package like [remark](https://www.npmjs.com/package/remark).
+
+You can import and use the`ReadMe` component as demonstrated below:
+```javascript=
+import { ReadMe } from 'portal'
+import remark from 'remark'
+import html from 'remark-html'
+import { useEffect, useState } from 'react'
+
+
+const readMeMarkdown = `
+    CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) time-series dataset including daily open, close,
+    high and low. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) is a key measure of market
+    expectations of near-term volatility conveyed by S&P 500 stock index option
+    prices introduced in 1993.
+
+    ## Data
+
+    From the [VIX FAQ][faq]:
+
+    > In 1993, the Chicago Board Options Exchange® (CBOE®) introduced the CBOE
+    > Volatility Index®, VIX®, and it quickly became the benchmark for stock market
+    > volatility. It is widely followed and has been cited in hundreds of news
+    > articles in the Wall Street Journal, Barron's and other leading financial
+    > publications. Since volatility often signifies financial turmoil, VIX is
+    > often referred to as the "investor fear gauge".
+
+    [faq]: http://www.cboe.com/micro/vix/faq.aspx
+
+    ## License
+
+    No obvious statement on [historical data page][historical]. Given size and
+    factual nature of the data and its source from a US company would imagine this
+    was public domain and as such have licensed the Data Package under the Public
+    Domain Dedication and License (PDDL).
+
+    [historical]: http://www.cboe.com/micro/vix/historical.aspx
+`
+
+export default function Home() {
+  const [readMe, setreadMe] = useState("")
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    async function processReadMe() {
+      const processed = await remark()
+        .use(html)
+        .process(readMeMarkdown)
+      setreadMe(processed.toString())
+    }
+    processReadMe()
+  }, [])
+
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <ReadMe readme={readMe} />
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+
+```
+
+#### ReadMe Component Prop Types
+
+The `ReadMe` component accepts a single property:
+* **readme**: A string of a compiled ReadMe in html format. 
+
+### [View Components](https://github.com/datopian/portal.js/tree/main/src/components/views)
+
+View components is a set of components that can be used for displaying dataset views like charts, tables, maps, e.t.c. 
+
+#### [Chart Component](https://github.com/datopian/portal.js/blob/main/src/components/views/Chart.js)
+
+The `Chart` components exposes different chart components like Plotly Chart, Vega charts, which can be used for showing graphs. See example in the `Graph` section [here](https://portal-js.vercel.app/). 
+To use a chart component, you need to compile and pass a view spec as props to the chart component. 
+Each Chart type have their specific spec, as explained in this [doc](https://specs.frictionlessdata.io/views/#graph-spec).
+
+In the example below, we assume there's a compiled Plotly spec:
+
+```javascript=
+import { PlotlyChart } from 'portal'
+
+export default function Home({plotlySpec}) {
+
+  return (
+    < div >
+      <PlotlyChart spec={plotlySpec} />
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+
+```
+> Note: You can compile views using the [datapackage-render](https://github.com/datopian/datapackage-views-js) library, as demonstrated in [this example](https://github.com/datopian/portal.js/blob/main/examples/dataset-frictionless/lib/utils.js).
+
+
+#### Chart Component Prop Types
+
+KeyInfo component accepts two properties:
+* **spec**: A compiled view spec depending on the chart type. 
+
+#### [Table Component](https://github.com/datopian/portal.js/blob/main/examples/dataset-frictionless/components/Table.js)
+
+The `Table` component is used for displaying dataset resources as a tabular grid. See example in the `Data Preview` section [here](https://portal-js.vercel.app/). 
+To use a Table component, you have to pass an array of data and columns as demonstrated below:
+
+```javascript=
+import { Table } from 'portal' //import Table component
+
+export default function Home() {
+
+  const columns = [
+    { field: 'id', headerName: 'ID' },
+    { field: 'firstName', headerName: 'First name' },
+    { field: 'lastName', headerName: 'Last name' },
+    { field: 'age', headerName: 'Age' }
+  ];
+
+  const data = [
+    { id: 1, lastName: 'Snow', firstName: 'Jon', age: 35 },
+    { id: 2, lastName: 'Lannister', firstName: 'Cersei', age: 42 },
+    { id: 3, lastName: 'Lannister', firstName: 'Jaime', age: 45 },
+    { id: 4, lastName: 'Stark', firstName: 'Arya', age: 16 },
+    { id: 7, lastName: 'Clifford', firstName: 'Ferrara', age: 44 },
+    { id: 8, lastName: 'Frances', firstName: 'Rossini', age: 36 },
+    { id: 9, lastName: 'Roxie', firstName: 'Harvey', age: 65 },
+  ];
+
+  return (
+    <Table data={data} columns={columns} />
+  )
+}
+
+```
+> Note: Under the hood, Table component uses the [DataGrid Material UI table](https://material-ui.com/components/data-grid/), and as such all supported params in data and columns are supported. 
+
+
+#### Table Component Prop Types
+
+Table component accepts two properties:
+* **data**: An array of column names with properties: e.g [{field: "col1", headerName: "col1"}, {field: "col2", headerName: "col2"}]
+* **columns**: An array of data objects e.g. [ {col1: 1, col2: 2}, {col1: 5, col2: 7} ]

+## Concepts and Terms
+In this section, we explain some of the terms and concepts used throughtout the portal.js documentation. 
+> Some of these concepts are part of officila specs, and when appropriate, we'll link to the sources where you can get more details. 
+### Dataset
+A dataset extends the [Frictionless data package](https://specs.frictionlessdata.io/data-package/#metadata) to add an extra organization property. The organization property describes the organization the dataset belongs to, and it should have the following properties:
+```javascript=
+organization = {
+ name: "some org name",
+ title: "Some optional org title",
+ description: "A description of the organization"
+}
+```
+An example of dataset with organization properties is given below:
+```javascript=
+datasets = [{
+    organization: {
+     name: "some org name",
+     title: "Some optional org title",
+     description: "A description of the organization"
+    },
+    title: "Data package title",
+    name:  "Data package name",
+    description: "description of data package",
+    resources: [...],
