Node School Vancouver

This is our static site generator, powered by gatsby

Attendees

Want a simple pull request? Add yourself to the data/attendees/ directory. Create a new yaml file with your name, with the following content:

---
name: Name
github: <github id>
twitter: <optional twitter id>

When in doubt, look at other people in that directory

Mentors

If you want to help teach or contribute in anyway, Add yourself to the data/mentors/ directory. Create a new yaml file with your name, with the following content:

---
name: Name
github: <github id>
twitter: <optional twitter id>

We usually like mentors to have come to a session before, and read up on the https://github.com/nodeschool/organizers/wiki/Event-Mentor-Best-Practices#on-being-a-mentor section on the nodeschool wiki.

Sponsors

Any sponsors can be added to the data/sponsors/ directory. Create a new yaml file with the name of the sponsor name, with the following content:

---
name: $Name
logo: $relativePathToLogo.png
link: $URL

Template

This is heavily based off the nodeschool toronto template. It used jekyll which when I tried it wouldn't compile properly, and as a node group, figured all node was better.

Install all dependencies

npm install

Local Development

npm run dev

This should start gatsby on port 3000
