Digital Accessibility Framework database front end

This is a Node project using the Astro framework to create a front-end to a RDF database containing content of the Digital Accessibility Framework. A copy of the data in JSON-LD format can be imported into a RDF database and used with this tool.

Working with this tool

In addition to normal astro files, the src/scripts folder includes import.js to import content from the markdown / yaml format. The command line in that folder is node import and when prompted give the name of the file to import. The base path is hardcoded for now, and for now it must be called once per file to import. At the moment, re-importing a file creates a duplicate of the data.

Run with astro server with npm run dev. The dbquery.js file manages the connection to the server (a SPARQL endpoint), with a hardcoded location for now.

Static build

The static branch of this repository is configured to build static copies of the site. To update the build:

1. Switch to the static branch.
2. Update from the main branch.
3. In the src\script folder run node static-ids. This will pull information from the database to drive the build.
4. In the project root folder, run npm run build. This will put the static site into the dist folder.
5. Commit all the changes into the static branch and push to the server.

GitHub site

The gh-pages branch serves a live version of the site with data as of last build. Update is not yet automated; to update, copy the contents of the dist folder from the static branch into the root folder of the gh-pages branch.
