This is a Globus-powered research data portal generator created using Next.js.

This is a Next.js project bootstrapped with create-next-app.

Developer Documentation

static.json

• The static.json file is the main configuration file for the data portal.
• The utils/static.ts file is used to enforce a TypeScript type on this file.
• All pages and components that source information from the user-provided static.json should use utils/static.ts and its available helpers.
• Typedoc is configured to generate documentation from utils/static.ts.

MDX Support

MDX support has been added to the project.

For simple pages, e.g. "Terms and Conditions" and "Privacy Policy" .mdx is used to simplify these files being overwritten by end consumers using a overrides or content directory.

content Directory

An end-user provided content directory can be defined to provide Markdown (or MDX) files that will be added as pages in the Next.js project. This allows for the end-user to provide custom pages without modifying the core project (via overrides). This also allows us to provide backwards compatibility should we decide to move away from Next.js in the future.
