🌀 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).
