Data Catalog Components

A set of React components to facilitate the creation of Open Data Catalogs with React.

Working locally

To develop locally against a working version of the data-catalog-frontend, you will need to do the following steps.

1. Run rm -rf node_modules && npm install in the data-catalog-frontend repo.
2. Run rm -rf node_modules && npm install in the data-catalog-components repo.
3. Run npm link in this repo (data-catalog-components), this will create a symlink to your global npm registry.
4. Run npm link <relative path to dkan frontend>/node_modules/react in this repo to connect the component library to the frontend's react folder.
5. Run npm link @civicactions/data-catalog-components in the data-catalog-frontend repo. This will make it so when you run npm install it will symlink the node_modules folder to the global symlink instead of downloading the library from npm.
6. Run gatsby develop in the data-catalog-frontend repo.
7. In this repo, run npm run lib:watch to work on components or npm run css:watch to work on just CSS changes. Babel will now watch any commands you make to React components in this folder and rebuild the library. When a rebuild happens it will cause the frontend Gatsby development server to rebuild and show your changes.
