cherrytwist-populator v0.1.4

Populate an Ecoverse with data from a spreadsheet

This repository has functionality to enable the population of an Ecoverse with data from a spreadshet. The spreadsheet is a local file, in the "OpenDocument Spreadsheet" (ODS) format.

Google Sheet Format

The spreadsheet does have a required format. An example of such a sheet is provided in this repo. If you want to make a custom load of data into an Ecoverse then please make a copy of this sheet and fill as needed.

Checks steps before starting:

• Ensure that the Cherrytwist Server is available, and that it (for now) has authentication disabled.

Populating using custom locations or data file:

• Make a copy of .env.default to creat a .env file
• Edit this file to specify the values for the two environment variables:
  • CT_SERVER: The server file location
  • CT_DATA_TEMPLATE: The data template to use for population

Execute the population

Finally you should now be in a position to run the data population!

• Execute npm run populate

Now you can navigate the web client and see a sample populated Ecoverse - enjoy!
