Example: Data catalog with data coming from CKAN	Luccas Mateus	2023-04-20	blog

The ckan-example added to PortalJS is intended to provide users with an easy way to set up a data catalog that can be used to display and share data stores behind a CKAN Backend. With this example, users can quickly set up a web-based portal that allows them to showcase their data and make it accessible to others, all this being done just by adding a simple env variable pointing to a CKAN Deployment.

Demo

To get a feel of the project, users can check the live deployment.
