ckanext-plotly

CKAN Chart viewer / builder built around plotly.js and the Plotly react-chart-editor

This is a fork of USEPA/ckanext-plotly, adapted for the Fair3R CKAN portal (CNRS/IGBMC).

Requirements

Compatibility with core CKAN versions:

Installation

For example installing any non-Python dependencies or adding any required config settings.

To install ckanext-plotly:

1. Activate your CKAN virtual environment, for example:

   . /usr/lib/ckan/default/bin/activate

2. Install via pip:

   pip install ckanext-fair3r-plotly pip install -r requirements.txt

   Or, to install from source:

   git clone cd ckanext-plotly pip install -e . pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Add plotly and/or plotly_explorer to the ckan.plugins setting in your CKAN config file (by default the config file is located at /etc/ckan/default/ckan.ini).

4. Restart CKAN

Config settings

None at present

Developer installation

To install ckanext-plotly for development, activate your CKAN virtualenv and do:

git clone <url-of-this-repository>
cd ckanext-plotly
python setup.py develop
pip install -r dev-requirements.txt

Rebuilding the editor/explorer

The editor/explorer is built off of react-chart-editor. At present this being react based application necessitates some effort to export for use as a CKAN javascript asset. To accomplish this the following manual process is has been employed. A customized build process would be a great addition!

1. Build the editor interface via npm:

   cd ckanext-plotly/editor_app/src
   npm run build
   

2. Copy the built js and css bundles over to the CKAN location

   cp ../build/static/css/main*.css ../../ckanext/plotly/public/plotly_edit_app.css
   cp ../build/static/css/main*.css.map ../../ckanext/plotly/public/plotly_edit_app.css.map
   cp ../build/static/js/main*.js ../../ckanext/plotly/public/plotly_edit_app.js
   cp ../build/static/js/main*.js.map ../../ckanext/plotly/public/plotly_edit_app.js.map
   

3. Edit the source map in the final line in plotly_edit_app.css and plotly_edit_app.js.map to point to the appropriate map file

Tests

To run the tests, do:

pytest --ckan-ini=test.ini ckanext
