FRONT-END: Data tool design #8
Description
The front-end data tool should allow a typical user to discover, manipulate and retrieve Canadian COVID-19 data in a common format. The development of the front-end tool should be API-driven (#9): all functionality of the GUI front-end should be accessible via a publicly exposed, thoroughly documented API.
I have written a rudimentary, JavaScript-based data explorer for the Canadian COVID-19 Data Archive, available here: https://ccodwg.github.io/Covid19CanadaArchive-data-explorer/. Code available in the Covid19CanadaArchive-data-explorer repository. This tool is a slight upgrade over the basic "S3 explorer" provided by AWS and available here: http://data.opencovid.ca/archive/index.html#archive/.
