Open Budget

This tool is an open source project built by the City of Philadelphia’s Office of Innovation and Technology, based on a project by OpenData.ch, the Swiss division of the Open Knowledge Foundation.

Setup

First, clone the repository and from within project directory install dependencies via:

$ npm install

Make your changes and view the application in its development at /src.

Note: to preview data visualization, browser preview requires running a local webserver

Build

Optimize the application by running:

$ npm run build

Commit

Commit the compiled site to master branch

$ git commit -a

This will update the files in the /dist directory. To push that directory to the gh-pages branch of the repo, use:

$ git subtree push --prefix dist origin gh-pages

Dependencies

• Underscore.js
• d3.js
• Foundation 5
• jQuery

Data Format

• See the parent repo's Data Format documentation
• We built a data transformer to go along with this and will be publishing the source code shortly
