submit-data

This is a work-in-progress demo: submitdata.surge.sh

Submit data to a JSON file via a form using the GitHub API

It's useful to keep small datasets in GitHub repositories, particularly for projects that are more content-focused like maps and data visualizations that are hosted on gh-pages.

It would be very useful to provide a page where users can log in with the GitHub API, fill out a form, and have the fields appended to a JSON file that is an array of objects.

That's what this project will provide.

What does it do?

• A user logs in via GitHub on the site.
• They fill out the form with the fields you have specified.
• This project does the following actions:
  • creates a fork on the user's account if it doesn't exist already
  • creates a branch for their changes
  • creates a commit adding an object to the JSON file you specified
  • creates a pull request back to the source repository

Todo

The next stage for this project is to make it reusable, so that you can provide a similar form in your gh-pages hosted repositories.

Similar functionality will also be added to the editdata.org project.
