This folder contains the system that deals with external data for developer.chrome.com, that is, data that regularly changes yet is required to publish the site.

• the "data/" folder is used as a working dir (and isn't checked in)

• all scripts inside "build/" are run when npm run build-external is run, and a local flag is set

• otherwise, run npm run sync-external to retrieve the last known good files stored in Cloud Storage

• running npm run dev will automatically pull external data

Changes

If you make changes to the build script(s), you should kick off a Cloud Build task to confirm that the output builds and to write it to storage for other users.

$ gcloud builds submit --config .cloudbuild/external.yaml .

You can confirm the contents of the bucket by:

$ gsutil ls -l gs://external-dcc-data

You'll write the data before your PR is committed; that's fine, because the data needs to available immediately when the code is in.
