This repository contains the source code for the EUCP Storyboard website.

The website has been built with Nuxt, using nuxt-content for authoring stories and tailwindcss + tailwind typography for styling. It is hosted on GitHub pages.

All stories are stored in the static/stories folder. Each story consists of a markdown file and a folder with some assets (images, etc.) belonging to the story. In addition to standard markdown, the :::Chapter{} directive is used to break the story into parts that can be displayed individually.

An example story might look like this:

static/stories/example-story.md

---
title: Example story
author: Peter Kalverla et al., Netherlands eScience Center
thumbnail: "intro.png"
category: EUCP data and products
trl: high
id: 13
---
:::Chapter{headline="Introduction" image="intro.png"}
## This is the first Chapter
You can format text using markdown.

The headline property will be used for the chapter navigation blocks.

The image property will be used for the main display image of this chapter.

Even though it's called 'image', you can also add standalone HTML pages, such as
an exported mapbox file.

The three colons below mark the end of the first chapter.
:::

:::Chapter{headline="Methods" image="concept.png"}
## This is the second Chapter

and so on...
:::

This produces the following layout:

The images should be stored in a directory with the same name as the story, but with a leading underscore, like so:

- static/
  - stories/
    - example-story.md
    - _example-story/
      - intro.png
      - concept.png

The frontmatter (title, author, etc.) will be used to show the story on the stories overview page. The ID and TRL (technical readiness level) properties are currently not used, but they are still here for legacy reasons.

If you want your story to be included on eucp-project.github.io/storyboards, you can make a pull request to this repository. We will review it and if everything is okay, we'll merge the story into the main branch. Continous deployment will then automatically update the site.

If you want to add a story but are unsure about the github workflow, please don't hesitate to get in touch. We are happy to help.

You can also make a local build of the site, if you want to check that your story is formatted correctly before making a pull request. The following instructions are the default instructions from a new nuxt project. After cloning the repository:

# install dependencies
$ npm install

# serve with hot reload at localhost:3000
$ npm run dev

# build for production and launch server
$ npm run build
$ npm run start

# generate static project
$ npm run generate
