Migrate a whole ArcGIS Hub site into a PortalJS Arc portal end-to-end. Harvests the Hub /data.json (DCAT-US) inventory, exports every FeatureService layer through the ArcGIS REST query API with resultOffset paging, converts each to the serverless dual tier (PMTiles render + GeoParquet query) with tabular items to Parquet, pushes everything to Cloudflare R2 via Git LFS, appends dual-tier datasets.json entries, and writes a source-vs-derived parity report. Use to move a City or sector ArcGIS Hub open-data portal onto PortalJS with no server-side compute.

Install

Add a chart (line, bar, area, pie, or scatter) to a dataset's showcase in a PortalJS portal. Installs recharts, writes a reusable Chart component, and renders it in the showcase Views section. Use when visualizing a dataset already registered in datasets.json.

Install

Add a dataset (CSV, TSV, JSON, or GeoJSON) to an existing PortalJS portal. Appends an entry to datasets.json so the catalog and showcase render it automatically; routes the data by source (local file vs remote URL) — R2 via Git LFS by default, remote URLs by passthrough. Use when registering a new dataset in a scaffolded portal.

Install

Make a PortalJS portal harvestable by national/EU/US open-data portals — emit standards-compliant DCAT catalog feeds (DCAT 2/3, DCAT-AP, DCAT-US, national profiles) in JSON-LD, Turtle, and RDF/XML at build, with autodiscovery and per-profile conformance checking. Use when a portal needs to be harvested by data.europa.eu, data.gov, or a national open-data catalog.

Install

Auto-ingest a geospatial file (GeoJSON, Shapefile, GeoPackage, KML/KMZ, FlatGeobuf, CSV-with-geometry) into a PortalJS portal on the user's own machine, with no server. Normalizes CRS to EPSG:4326, derives a PMTiles render tier and a GeoParquet query tier, pushes all three artifacts to Cloudflare R2 via Git LFS, and appends one dual-tier datasets.json entry the showcase auto-renders. Use when the source is a vector geo format that needs a map or spatial-query view.

Install

Render a GeoJSON dataset on an interactive Leaflet map in the Views section of a dataset's showcase. Installs react-leaflet and a Map component, then renders the map for the chosen dataset. Use when a dataset's data is geographic and a map view is needed alongside the showcase's default metadata and download.

Install

Add another file (resource) to an EXISTING dataset in a PortalJS portal — a data dictionary, methodology, or an additional data file. Turns a single-file dataset into a multi-resource one; the showcase renders a section per resource. Use when a dataset needs a second file, such as a data dictionary, methodology doc, or an additional period's data.

Install

Recommend a data-portal architecture (storage, compute, catalog, access, hosting, metadata) from stated needs, then hand off to the build skills. The advisory entry point. Use when starting a new data-portal project and the underlying architecture has not yet been decided.

Install

Audit a local or remote tabular file (CSV/TSV) for common data quality issues — schema, nulls, types, duplicates. Read-only. Use when a dataset needs a quality check before publishing, or a showcase renders wrong (blank cells, garbled numbers, an unsortable date column) and the cause needs isolating.

Install

Wire a scaffolded PortalJS portal to a CKAN backend over its API. Generates a tiny server-side fetch client (no runtime dependency) and feeds the /search catalog and /@namespace/slug showcases from CKAN instead of datasets.json. Use when connecting an existing portal to a live CKAN instance instead of a static manifest.

Install

Define a dataset's metadata profile — infer a Frictionless Table Schema from its data, add Data Package metadata (license, sources, keywords), and write it into datasets.json so the showcase renders a typed field table. Extend or customize via the L0-L3 profile ladder. Use when a registered dataset needs field types, constraints, or catalog metadata before publishing.

Install

Deploy a PortalJS portal to PortalJS Arc — Datopian-managed static hosting on Cloudflare. Builds a static export, uploads it, and returns a live SLUG.arc.portaljs.com URL. One command, one target. Use when a portal is ready to publish or redeploy to a live URL.

Install

Migrate (harvest) datasets between open-data platforms. Reads CKAN, a DCAT-US /data.json catalog (DKAN, ArcGIS Hub, data.gov), a DCAT / DCAT-AP RDF feed (JSON-LD, Turtle, or RDF/XML), Socrata, OpenDataSoft, or an ArcGIS FeatureServer, and writes them to a static PortalJS catalog or pushes them into a CKAN instance over its API. Use when moving datasets from an external open-data platform into a PortalJS portal, or bridging one CKAN instance to another.
