Backboard
This is a single page application (SPA) that shows the projects and challenges for a hackathon event using the remote API of Dribdat.
Project data is shown for a specific event, with flexible configuration options for displaying and sorting the results in different ways. You can seamlessly navigate using your mouse or keyboard between projects and challenges.
Currently most functions link back to Dribdat, for example, when you click on the Join team button you get directed to the main web application. The long-term goal is to create a more modern, decoupled frontend for Dribdat.
The Backboard has minimal formatting, tight margins, and is ideal for embedding into your webpage anonuncing the upcoming event or results. If you are developing a Vue.js app, you can import the Challenges, Honeycomb and Preview components into your app.
Tip: You may want to enable Challenges and Previews (opens a modal dialog with swipable navigation) through clicking the options button found at the footer of the page (which opens a configuration menu).
Use the handy Share link to get a URL with your config.

Installation
Deploy this application with any service that supports Node.js
Usage
Put a datapackage.json file that you exported from dribdat into the public folder.
Or use the VUE_APP_DRIBDAT_URL configured with a link to your dribdat event or data package elsewhere.
You can use the following environment variables:
VUE_APP_DRIBDAT_URL(required) - fully qualified link to your Dribdat event, or online hosted Data Package (* see examples)VUE_APP_DEFAULT_OPTS- the default display settings - copy the part after ? from the Share link.VUE_APP_HIDE_TOOLBAR- makes the options toolbar in the footer unavailable.VUE_APP_VOTE_FORM_URL- link to a form where you are collecting votes or feedback, otherwise the Dribs Post feature will be used.VUE_APP_TIMER_LENGTH- in minutes, how long the countdown timer should run for in presentation mode (0 to disable).BACKBOARD_ROOT- if your deployment is not at the root, change it here (e.g./backboard)
