Pioneer Journalism Website

This repository contains all the code needed to build and update the webapp running at pioneerjournalism.org via Github Pages.

Prerequisites

1. Node
2. Webpack

Development

Getting started

npm install # install deps
npm run start:development

Deployment

Deploy to Github Pages with npm run deploy. Alternatively, build and drag the resulting production files manually to the Github Pages branch main.

Update Mapping Table

To update the mapping table, simply replace src/csv/mapping.csv with a fresh export from our Google spreadsheet and re-run build/wait for hot reloading if the development server is running.

Update Maps

The various maps showing geolocations of our actors are generated with https://datawrapper.io and integrated via iframes. We use the automated geolocation lookup provided by Datawrapper on our "Ort" data column. To update these, please create your own maps with Datawrapper and edit the MappingTable() function in index.jsx accordingly with your new iframe URLs.

Todo

• Replace multiple cumbersome Datawrapper maps with a single map
• Add Unit tests via Jest
