  • The project uses JavaScript to add interactivity to the dashboard and to retrieve certain data from CSV files for graphs and charts.

• Chart.js

  • The project uses Chart.js order to style the prebuilt charts.

• The dashboard is hosted via GitHub Pages and is deployed from the master branch - this is to allow the deployed dashboard to automatically update with any new commits that are made to the master branch.

  • To deploy the dashboard to GitHub Pages, first clicked the settings tab on the GitHub repository for the site.
  • From here, scrolled to the GitHub Pages section of the setting tab and changed the Source from 'none' to 'master branch'.
  • This deployed the dashboard to GitHub Pages and provided me with a link to the hosted page, which then copied and pasted into the description of the repository.

• To run this application locally:
