Nextstrain static site

This directory contains the documentation files and static site generator for nextstrain. For general nextstrain.org documentation including the nextstrain server (including the /charon/... API endpoints) and auspice customizations, see nextstrain.org/README.md.

Installing

See the readme in the parent directory for instructions on how to install prerequisites and install nextstrain.org locally.

Developing locally

To develop just the static-site part of nextstrain.org, you may run:

npm install
npm run develop

Testing the production build

If you wish to test the production build of just the static-site portion of nextstrain.org, you may run:

npm install
npm run build
npm run serve

Troubleshooting on Linux

If npm install fails and you are getting an error about the Gatsby sharp plugin dependency, it could be related to the Node support for sharp issue reported here. We have found the best results with version 10 of Node -- run node -v to check which version you have. Please see the readme in the parent directory for our recommended way to install these dependencies. (If you're using nvm to manage node installations, you can try running nvm install 10). After this, node -v should display v10.*.

Delete the node_modules/ folder and run npm install again. If that still doesn't work, delete the node_modules/ folder again and run the following commands:

npm install sharp
npm install

If npm run develop fails and you are getting an error about pngquant, delete the node_modules/ folder and run the following commands:

sudo apt-get install libpng-dev
npm install

Adding content

Adding new cards / tiles for the splash page

  1. Find an image with appropriate rights for us to use.
  2. Edit the picture in LunaPic
    • upload picture
    • Style the picture via the "art" menu. Closse "grey" for core cards, "floating" for community cards or "sadness" for narrative cards. Adjust slider as you see fit.
    • "Edit" -> "Simple Crop Tool" & crop to a square.
    • "Edit" -> "Resize Image" to 250 x 250px
    • "File" -> "Save Image" & use PNG
  3. Save the file in ./static/splash_images
  4. Edit ./src/components/Cards/coreCards.js, ./src/components/Cards/communityCards.js or ./src/components/Cards/narrativeCards.js to include the card & title.
  5. Edit ./src/Footer/index.jsx to provide credit for the photo.
