The library is maintained by Nael Shiab, computational journalist and senior data producer for CBC News.

You might also find the journalism library and Code Like a Journalist interesting.

To quickly get started with simple-data-analysis, create a folder and run:

# Deno >= 2.x.x
deno -A jsr:@nshiab/setup-sda

# Node.js >= 22.6.x
npx setup-sda

# Bun
bunx --bun setup-sda

If you want to use SDA with Svelte, pass the --svelte flag. If SDA is already set up in your repository, this command will add Svelte without overwriting your existing files.

# Deno >= 2.x.x
deno -A jsr:@nshiab/setup-sda --svelte

# Node.js >= 22.6.x
npx setup-sda --svelte

# Bun
bunx --bun setup-sda --svelte

If you want to use SDA with Framework, pass the --framework flag. If SDA is already set up in your repository, this command will add Framework without overwriting your existing files.

# Deno >= 2.x.x
deno -A jsr:@nshiab/setup-sda --framework

# Node.js >= 22.6.x
npx setup-sda --framework

# Bun
bunx --bun setup-sda --framework

To initialize a git repository, pass the --git flag.
