Seattle city energy app contains modals and a custom footer module. The configuration for these are located in the seattle.json file. The data for the modals are located in the cityenergy-seattle carto account.
Locate the "modals" block in the seattle.json file mentioned above. Each modal is linked to a particular dataset located in Carto. The datasets have already been configured to work with each module so do not change the column names. The fields of a modal configuration block are as follows:
- title: Title of the modal
- desc: Short description of the modal which will appear under title
- tablename: Name of the dataset in
Carto. very important - label: Name used for the button
- reflinks Lets the modal know if there is an "reflinks" column. Only used for the glossary modal.
Go to the modal dataset located in Carto. Once the appropriate dataset is open, add a row and fill in the values. The new data will be automatically picked up the next time the web app is reloaded.
Locate the "footer" block in the seattle.json file mentioned at the top. There are two fields in this block:
- about_link: Link for "About the program"
- download_link: Link for "Download data"
It's important to remember that any changes made to the seattle.json file will need to be "re-deployed" to be active in the production version. See the documentation in the main README file for how to deploy to production.
