Sheetsee To-do

[jlord]

I have a wee bit of time (and an imperative: Mozfest) to get going on some work I've been wanting to put into Sheetsee.

Modularize

Get these things on NPM and Browserify them together.

• sheetsee-core should provide basic functions for working with the data.
• sheetsee-maps should provide all the functions for setting up maps
• sheetsee-tables should provide all of the functions for making tables
• sheetsee-charts should provide all of the functions for the 3 basic d3 charts
• sheetsee-cache should get spreadsheet data and return it, add file writing/caching capabilities for offline development and skipping waiting on responses from Google. This is intended to work for server-side projects, on the command line and wouldn't not a part of the Browserify-ing stack.

For more advanced users, this allows you to build with just the parts of Sheetsee you intend to use (no need to have the stuff for charts if you're just mapping). For people who are newer, or don't care, you can still download the full (core + maps + tables + charts) source code from the repo and include it the same way you would any other library in your HTML head.

Will be digging into @remixz's PR (which is on this branch) since I think he covers a lot of this. YAY!

Enhancements

Good things.

• pagination for tables so they don't have to be so long (#12)
• polygons in maps instead of just points (#17)

  BONUS Static Generator

Create a website that will generate the static code for you!

Niceties

Clean up and improve documentation, highlight Fork-n-Go examples in the wild and Tips-n-Bits.

Fingers crossed it ends up easier than expected :) Thoughts on the outline are :heart_eyes_cat:

Thanks @remixz! I'm pulling things out and making modules! Woo! Are you on IRC any?

Progress Report!

Modualrization is in full swing! I've started pulling out the sections into modules. They're not finished yet, but almost (need to test and rewrite docs)

sheetsee-core sheetsee-tables sheetsee-maps sheetsee-charts

:heavy_check_mark: I've added polygon support! to the maps. :heavy_check_mark: I've added pagination! to the tables.

Both of these have only been applied to the module versions right now, I'm leaving the sheetsee version in this repo intact until it's all ready to be switched over.

So onto documenting the updates!
