There are various great Covid-19 tracking and information websites. EndCoronavirus.org, which is backed by the NECSI, being the best one I have found.

This one aims to provide a simple tool to track global progress in defeating Covid-19, by focusing on the rate of change in death count globally. Though it is mainly a venue for me to play around with and learn GraphQL and React-Table among other things. All data is pulled from the COVID-19 data repository provided by Johns Hopkins University. Which in turn pulls data from various government sources, and tracking projects such as WorldoMeters.

All code for this site is open source. It is built with Gatsby and consumes the Johns Hopkins data via a GraphQl API which in turn wraps a another parser.

πŸ”ƒ Differences in this repo with standard Gatsby

  1. TypeScript is used for a better developer experience.

  2. ESLint and the AirBnB TypeScript style guide help you avoid, and fix, simple issues in your code.

  3. The default Gatsby formating tool, Prettier, has been removed in order to avoid conflicts with the ESLint + AirBnB TypeScript tools described above.

πŸš€ Quick start

  1. Clone this repository.

    # Clone the repo
    git clone https://github.com/rickkln/corona
    
  2. Navigate into the cloned folder.

    Navigate into your new site’s directory, install node modules and start it up:

    cd corona/
    npm install
    gatsby develop
    
  3. Open the source code and start editing.

    Your site is now running at http://localhost:8000!

    Note: You'll also see a second link: http://localhost:8000/___graphql. This is a tool you can use to experiment with querying your data. Learn more about using this tool in the Gatsby tutorial.

    Open the corona directory in your code editor of choice and edit away. Save your changes and the browser will update in real time!

  4. Submit your changes!

    Once you are ready to submit your changes you can simply submit a Pull Request to this repo.

  1. /node_modules: This directory contains all of the modules of code that your project depends on (npm packages) are automatically installed.

  2. /src: This directory will contain all of the code related to what you will see on the front-end of your site (what you see in the browser) such as your site header or a page template. src is a convention for β€œsource code”.

  3. .eslintrc.js: This is a configuration file for ESLint. ESLint is a tool to help you avoid and fix simple issues in your code.

  4. .gitignore: This file tells git which files it should not track / not maintain a version history for.

  5. firebase.json: This is a configuration file that lists your Firebase project configuration. Learn more about this file in the Firebase docs.

  6. gatsby-config.js: This is the main configuration file for a Gatsby site. This is where you can specify information about your site (metadata) like the site title and description, which Gatsby plugins you’d like to include, etc. (Check out the config docs for more detail).

  7. LICENSE.md: Gatsby itself, the primary dependency of this project is licensed under the MIT license, however the original code in this project is licensed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0.

  8. package-lock.json (See package.json below, first). This is an automatically generated file based on the exact versions of your npm dependencies that were installed for your project. (You won’t change this file directly).

  9. package.json: A manifest file for Node.js projects, which includes things like metadata (the project’s name, author, etc). This manifest is how npm knows which packages to install for your project.

  10. README.md: This text file, which contains useful reference information about your project.

  11. tsconfig.json: This is a configuration file for TypeScript. The tsconfig.json file specifies the root files and the compiler options required for the TypeScript compiler to compile the project. More details are available in the TypeScript docs.
