Churchtools Organigram

Introduction

This is a small NodeJS Script that extracts data from ChurchTools and exports it as a organigram.

Code Quality

This was written as a proof of concept. It works, but it ain't no beautiful code (#spaghetti)

How to Use

Docker

The easiest way to use this script is via docker. Just install docker and docker compose, copy the .env.example file to .env, add your churchtools credentials and run run.sh.

Manual

Just npm install, copy .env.example to ./app/.env and run it with npm run. This way is not officially supported.

Making the Output readable

After running the script you will then find the generated mindmaps in the ./output folder.

Open it in the Software yED and choose the Auto-Layout feature you want.

Advanced Visualization

For advanced automatic vizualisations one can use Gephi. To import the file to gephi, an additional step is necessary. To import the generated graph in gephi, just open the exported file in yED and export it to a .gml file. You can then import it into Gephi.
