Closed kellstefan closed 2 years ago

kellstefan commented 2 years ago

Changes include:

a NodeJS script (fetch-BTD-projects.js) to download BTD transportation projects file; and
a GitHub action that downloads the file weekly by running the script
the first automatically dowloaded BTD projects file

The action is currently set to run every Saturday at 8:30 UTC.

@kellstefan Would you mind modifying this so that it just overwrites the old file and does not date the file?

Many thanks. This will let us not need an index of all the filenames for the frontend to download each time.

kellstefan commented 2 years ago

@thadk I modified the script to not include the date in the filename. The BTD projects file should now always save as "BTD_transportation_projects.geojson".

Merging and will adjust afterwards in a different issue. Main adjustment needed is to use the public/ folder and maybe to convert pjson to GeoJSON files using the same tool that this notebook uses: https://observablehq.com/@thadk/arcgis-json-parser-to-geojson.
