Klimawende von unten - Prototype

Structure

• data/ data for the prototype, which are passed into components, templates and pages later on. All json files are also added to the GraphQL API.
• lib/ helper functions for the build process
• public/ and .cache/ are Gatsby specific and contain all compiled files
• src/
  • src/components all React components, which are shared across pages
  • src/pages all files and folders in this directory are used to create the accessible routes of the prototype
  • src/templates templates are similar to pages, except they represent dynamic pages (such as projects)
  • src/_mixins.scss SASS mixins
  • src/_variables.scss SASS variables (fonts, colors ...)
  • src/style.scss entry file for the compiled CSS file, which contains all styles
• static/ static files, such as images and fonts
  • static/json/ geoJSON and topoJSON files, used to render the map. The federal states of Germany were pulled from here.
• webpack.config.js webpack configuration for the extra CSS build step, which generates a CSS file in public containing all CSS used in components

Components

Some components bring their own documentation:

• Map

Develop

The prototype is based on Gatsby, a very flexible static site generator.

After you checked out the repository, you have to install dependencies

npm install

Afterwards you are able to start the development server.

npm run develop

The prototype is now running on localhost:8000.

Production

Running

npm run build

will build the static site into one single folder, which can then be served by any webserver.

Static styles & JavaScript

Through an additional build step, two additional files are created:

• style.css Contains all styles in a single file
• bundle.js Contains all the transpiled JS in a single file
