The Earthdata Dashboard Starter is a stripped-down version of the dashboard developed to support deriving insights on the impact of COVID-19 on different environmental factors. This stripped down version of the site supports exploring Earth Satellite imagery.
Source code: https://github.com/nasa-impact/earthdata-simple Visit the live site on: https://earthdata.nasa.gov/covid19/
This dashboard is powered by an open source API that is developed in parallel. This API focuses on serving the Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF and time-series indicator data that people can interact with in the dashboard.
- Earthdata (Raster) Visualization
To simplify configuration for this example dashboard, a number of key features of the original COVID-19 dashboard have been removed. Specifically:
It is the intent of this repository to add generators and guidance for adding those to a new deployment.
- Vector data visualization
- User-provided search parameters produces data visualization
The steps below will walk you through setting up your own instance of the project.
To set up the development environment for this website, you'll need to install the following on your system:
If you use nvm
, activate the desired Node version:
nvm install
Install Node modules:
yarn install
All the config files can be found in app/assets/scripts/config
.
After installing the projects there will be 3 main files:
local.js
- Used only for local development. On production this file should not exist or be empty.staging.js
production.js
The production.js
file serves as base and the other 2 will override it as needed:
staging.js
will be loaded whenever the env variableDS_ENV
is set to staging.local.js
will be loaded if it exists.
The following options must be set: (The used file will depend on the context):
value
- Description
Example:
module.exports = {
value: 'some-value'
};
yarn serve
Compiles the sass files, javascript, and launches the server making the site available at http://localhost:9000/
The system will watch files and execute tasks whenever one of them changes.
The site will automatically refresh since it is bundled with livereload.
Set the AWS environment variables:
export AWS_ACCOUNT_ID=$(aws sts get-caller-identity | jq .Account -r)
export AWS_REGION=$(aws configure get region)
To prepare the app for deployment run:
yarn build
or
yarn stage
This will package the app and place all the contents in the dist
directory.
The app can then be run by any web server.
When building the site for deployment provide the base url trough the BASEURL
environment variable. Omit the leading slash. (E.g. https://example.com)
Run on AWS:
export API_URL=CHANGEME
nvm use
yarn deploy
