COVID Dashboard Exercise

A data visualization intended for a future historian.

Running Locally

From the app folder, run:

$ yarn install
$ yarn serve

You should then be able to view the visualization via localhost.

Data Analysis / Cleaning

The generate.py script takes the data provided by the New York Times and transforms it into the JSON file that drives the visualization. To run the script and replace the JSON file, you first need to install the Python dependencies using Pipenv:

$ pipenv install

You can then run the script with:

$ pipenv run python generate.py > app/dist/data.json
