# React Based Redbrick DCU Site
## Overview
The old site was nice but difficult to update, this site just uses a google
sheet which cmt can edit. This allows for all cmt members to make changes which
can be monitored through google sheets history.
Aside from the dynamic changes this site was written in some rushed ReactJS.
Changes to the site don't really need to be made apart from styling updates or
changing the year for the current cmt and the majority of changes should just be
made to the google sheet.
## Google Sheet
The google sheet controlling the information can be found
[here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15pFYVzuFPK4HFOpnnFHuoTNh3L3iThBCpoVMQzT5RlM/edit?usp=sharing).
## Features
- Google Sheets / JSON Fetch
- Dynamic Image Gallery

## Deployment
1. git clone the repo.
2. run `yarn`.
3. ensure the `homepage` in `package.json` is set correctly.
4. ensure `siteMetadata.dataURL` in `gatsby-config.js` is set to pull
information from the correct JSON file.
5. run `yarn build`.
6. ensure there are no errors in the output.
7. copy & paste the static files in the build folder that has been created.
This is your site now :)
- Ensure the JSON file `siteMetadata.dataURL` is set to pull from is being
regularly updated (~ once day)
- As of 19/11/2019, the release of this site, the `data.json` file can be pulled
