🌀 PortalJS example with CKAN and Apollo

🚩 UPDATE April 2023: This example is now deprecated - though still works!. Please use the new CKAN examples

This example shows how you can build a full data portal using a CKAN Backend with a Next.JS Frontend powered by Apollo, a full fledged guide is available as a blog post

Developers

Boot the local instance

Install the dependencies:

yarn # or npm i

Boot the demo portal:

$ yarn dev # or npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000 to see the home page 🎉

You can start editing the page by modifying /pages/index.tsx. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.

Tests

We use Jest for running tests:

yarn test # or npm run test

# turn on watching
yarn test --watch

We use Cypress tests as well

yarn run e2e

Architecture

  • Language: Javascript
  • Framework: NextJS - https://nextjs.org/
  • Data layer API: GraphQL using Apollo. So controllers access data using GraphQL “gatsby like”
