This is a website with a map of food sources in Los Angeles, and list of resources about food deserts and health. You can view the site here… https://foodoasis.la
The website is published with GitHub Pages, and the files are generated with Jekyll.
As you make changes and commit/push them to GitHub, the staging website will automatically update. You can also manually push your changes to the live website.
If you want to see a preview of your changes while you work, you can run a Jekyll server on your local machine. Installing Ruby and Jekyll is a good place to start.
Since it takes a while to generate the whole site, you may want to run Jekyll in “incremenetal” mode, like this…
jekyll serve --incremental

The locations listed on the website are generated by Jekyll from markdown files in these folders…
_community-garden/*
_farmers-market/*
_food-pantry/*
community-garden/*
farmers-market/*
food-pantry/*
locations/*
The markdown files themselves are generated by Node.js from the data files in the _data folder.
To re-generate the files, first install Node.js. And then run these three commands from your project folder…
- Change to the
_nodedirectory…
cd _node
- Install Node.js dependencies for this project…
npm install
- Ask Node.js to run the generation script
node generate-locations.js
Note that this will overwrite the existing markdown files, but it won’t remove any of them. You may wish to manually remove these folders before running generate-locations.js, so there won’t be any old files left inside them…
