# CODE.NASA.GOV



[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/nasa/code-nasa-gov.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/nasa/code-nasa-gov)



Catalog of Open Source Software from NASA. Built using [Polymer](https://www.polymer-project.org).



## Do You have a Open-Source Code Project For This Site?



#### Instructions

Instructions for releasing a NASA open-source project can be found on https://code.nasa.gov/#/guide.



#### Code.json vs Category.json

Newly approved code projects for release are added to code.json. You can add your approved open-source NASA project to code.json, here.



All federal agencies are mandated to have a code.json that is then harvested by the General Services Adminstration (GSA) and aggregated into code.gov. 



Code.json is reformatted by a script run by NASA's open-innovation team into category.json. Category.json has some attributes not in code.json and is used to build the project page on code.nasa.gov.



Additionally, at this time, only category.json has the A.I.-generated keyword tags in addition to the human-generated tags. This may change in the future. 



#### Why code.json is bigger than category.json

Some of the code projects in code.json have open-source licenses. Other projects in code.json have government-source only licenses, meaning sharing is constrainted to government agencies. All of the code projects listed in category.json have open-source licenses.

If you make your own visualization, please add it as an issue. We would love to see it!



## Running The Code In This Repository



### Setup



test



### Prerequisites



Install bower and [polymer-cli](https://github.com/Polymer/polymer-cli):



    npm install -g bower polymer-cli



Check that you are using Node v8+



    node -v

    

### Install dependencies



    bower i



### Start the development server



This command serves the app at `http://localhost:8080` and provides basic URL

routing for the app:



    polymer serve --open



### Build



This command performs HTML, CSS, and JS minification on the application

dependencies and generates a service-worker.js file with code to pre-cache the

dependencies based on the entrypoint and fragments specified in `polymer.json`.

The minified files are output to the `build/unbundled` folder, and are suitable

for serving from a HTTP/2+Push compatible server.



In addition the command also creates a fallback `build/bundled` folder,

generated using fragment bundling, suitable for serving from non

H2/push-compatible servers or to clients that do not support H2/Push.



    polymer build



### Preview the build



This command serves the minified version of the app at `http://localhost:8080`

in an unbundled state, as it would be served by a push-compatible server:



    polymer serve build/unbundled



This command serves the minified version of the app at `http://localhost:8080`

generated using fragment bundling:



    polymer serve build/bundled

    

### Deploying



When deploying to a static web server (with no HTTP/2+Push), be sure to copy only

the files from `build/bundled` directory (**NOT** the project directory) which

contains a functional service worker and minified files. Put them in a top level part of the directory, not within another build/bundled directory within the production directory.



### Adding a new view



You can extend the app by adding more views that will be demand-loaded

e.g. based on the route, or to progressively render non-critical sections

of the application.  Each new demand-loaded fragment should be added to the

list of `fragments` in the included `polymer.json` file.  This will ensure

those components and their dependencies are added to the list of pre-cached

components (and will have bundles created in the fallback `bundled` build).
