This is the repository of the CHT Technology Radar for Implementers content.

If you are looking for the content of the CHT Technology Radar for Contributors, you can find it in its dedicated GitHub repository.

This Tech Radar is built by using the CHT Technology Radar Core, which contains the skeleton app and the CHT look-and-feel styles.

For a new Technology Radar release, create a folder of the release date (YYYY-MM-DD) under ./radar.

The items are written in Markdown (.md) format.

Each file has a meta header where the attributes of the item are listed:

---
title:      "CHT Sync"
ring:       adopt
quadrant:   methods-and-patterns
tags: [data, pipeline]
---

Text goes here. You can use **markdown** here.

Following front-matter attributes are possible:

• title: Name of the Item
• quadrant: Quadrant. One of languages-and-frameworks (for App Building quadrant), methods-and-patterns (for Data Use quadrant), platforms-and-aoe-services (for Deployment Management quadrant), tools (for CHT App Features quadrant)
• ring: Ring section in radar. One of trial, adopt, stop
• tags: Optional tags for filtering.
• featured: (Optional, default "true") If you set this to "false", the item will not be visible in the radar quadrants but still be available in the overview.

The name of the .md file acts as item identifier and may overwrite items with the same name from older releases.

If an item is overwritten in a new release, the attributes from the new item are merged with the old ones, and a new history entry is created for that item.

You can integrate images in your markdown. Put the image files in your public folder and reference them:

![an image](/images/an-image.png)

You can update the rings and the quadrants in the config.json file. If you update the names of the rings and quadrants, you will need to update the technologies .md files accordingly.

The text on the "How to use the CHT Technology Radar for Implementers" page can be updated in the about.md file.

Further instructions on how to customize the Technical Radar can be found in the medic/cht-tech-radar-core repository.

To host the application under a sub path, set the environment variable PUBLIC_URL, e.g. "/cht-tech-radar". The default is /.

For local development you can use /build and use this for the following steps.

npm ci
npm run serve

Then open the Tech Radar here: https://localhost:3000/cht-tech-radar-implementers

npm ci
npm run build

The CHT Technology Radars are built starting from the AOE Tech Radar content. If you want to build your own Technical Radar you may want to have a look at the AOE Tech Radar GitHub repository.
