🌀 Portal.JS
A gateway to your data
🌀 Portal is the data presentation framework. Portal can be used to showcase a single dataset or build a full-scale data catalog/portal. Portal is built in Javascript and React on top of the popular Next.js framework.
Status
Portal is currently focused on presenting a single (Frictionless) dataset for viewing and exploration.
Install
Git clone then:
yarn install
Usage
In this directory:
export PORTAL_DATASET_PATH=/path/to/my/dataset
yarn dev
And you will get a nice dataset page at http://localhost:3000
Design Notes
Portal.js is a React and NextJS based framework for building dataset/resources pages and catalogs. It consists of:
- React components for data portal functionality e.g. data tables, graphs, dataset pages etc
- Tooling to load data (based on Frictionless)
- Template sites you can reuse using
create-next-app- Single dataset micro-site
- Github backed catalog
- CKAN backed catalog
- ...
- Local development environment
- Deployment integration with DataHub.io
In summary, technically PortalJS is: NextJS + data specific react components + data loading glue (mostly using frictionless-js).
