commitments.js as standalone module in website

[magsol]

I love the commitments section of your faculty website and am interested in incorporating it into my own. However, I'd rather not have to overhaul the entire site (if at all possible), and am actively destructive when it comes to developing in Javascript.

How difficult would it be to get your components.js working in a Bootstrap themed faculty website, using just the commitments portion of your profile.json file? (for reference: https://quinngroup.github.io/ )

Good question! The commitments page is definitely not built for reuse, but it's a good idea for a project. At the moment, the front end is a React view, which is pretty portable. But if you're not using React, then it would require a rewrite of the front end. It would be possible to extract the weekly analysis from the front end, so that different views could be rendered. None of this is complex, but it would require someone with time and web development skills to build. I have the latter but not the former :)

I have the latter in narrow areas--Javascript is definitely not one of them--and none at all of the former.

Which of course means I need to drop everything I'm doing to get this working :)

Alas, that is the status quo! It might be a fun side project this summer for me to build something that's a little more adoptable. Even a little service, for example, just to enter commitments with an option to embed a view on a web page.
