Updating data

After making your changes to landscape.yml, run npm run fetch to fetch any needed data and generate processed_landscape.yml and [data.json](. /src/data.json).

npm run fetch runs in 4 modes of increasingly aggressive downloading, with a default to easy. Reading data from the cache (meaning from processed_landscape.yml) means that no new data is fetched if the project/product already exists. The modes are:

Data cached easy medium hard complete
Crunchbase true false false false
GitHub basic stats true false false false
GitHub start dates true true false false
Image data true true true false
  • Easy mode just fetches any data needed for new projects/products.
  • Medium fetches Crunchbase and basic GitHub data for all projects/products.
  • Hard also fetches GitHub start dates. These should not change so this should not be necessary.
  • Complete also re-fetches all images. This is problematic because images tend to become unavailable (404) over time, even though the local cache is fine.

Easy mode (the default) is what you should use if you update landscape.yml and want to see the results locally. The Netlify build server runs easy mode, which makes it possible to just commit a change to landscape.yml and have the results reflected in production. Run with npm run fetch.

Medium mode is what is run by the update server, with commits back to the repo. It needs to be run regularly to update last commit date, stars, and Crunchbase info. Run with npm run update.

Hard and complete modes should be unnecessary except in cases of possible data corruption. Even then, it's better to just delete any problematic entries from processed_landscape.yml and easy mode will recreate them with up-to-date information.

Adding a custom image

If you can't find the right logo on the web, you can create a custom one and host it in this repo:

  1. Save the logo to src/hosted_logos/, for example, src/hosted_logos/apex.svg. Use lowercase spinal case (i.e., hyphens) for the name.
  2. Update landscape.yml, for example, logo: ./src/hosted_logos/apex.svg. The location must start with./src/hosted_logos.
  3. If you've updated the local logo since a previous commit, you need to delete the cached version in .src/cached_logos/. E.g., delete ./src/cached_logos/apex.svg.
  4. Update processed_landscape.yml with npm run fetch.
  5. Commit and push. Double-check your work in the Netlify preview after opening a pull request.
