Create a service for demo visualization framework

[t00f]

The service should be able to read a static file (json or csv, to be determined). This would help to avoid having an elastic search dependancy in our demo app.

Dataset: Olympic medals

I liked the simplicity of the olympic medals for various countries. It is easy to understand and get into it.

In order to have some timed data, I will go with the following dataset that takes the top 10 countries (gold, silver and bronze medals) from 1896 to 2012

Here is the graphs I can think of:

• Table that shows all medals for each countries
• Horizontal / Vertical Bar that shows each type of medals for a specific country
• Pie Chart that to compare the number of all gold medals on certain countries (all or maybe the top 5 countries)
• Line to display the evolution of the gold, silver, bronze medals for a specific country
• Multi line to compare the evolution of gold medals for multiple countries
• Stack Bar Chart per country for a specfic year. (later)

I am wondering how to get a chord diagram, if you guys have an idea !

Service

The dataset is provided as a csv file. I will need to create a service that is capable of:

• load the csv file into a javascript object
• make filter in order to search into the javascript object (if you guys have a recommandation ? I was looking at taffyDB or defiant.js

Cool idea to use the olympic medals dataset.

Probably we'll need another sample dataset to drive the Chord Diagram. Maybe we could use this one on Global Migration https://bl.ocks.org/curran/8c5bb1e0dd8ea98695d28c8a0ccfc533

Here is what we have so far.

We now have a complete demo in the repository named demo-vf.

It contains 2 dashboards with multiple listeners / tooltips / graph examples.
