The data models should evolve into a more usefull representation of a project/company available data.

How to use netlify-cms & github authentication

Netlify CMS (content management system) is the most straight forward way to contribute to this project, and anyone is allowed to contribute.

By login-in with your Github account, it will provide a graphical interface to edit and review the data.

Login at edit.joblist.today/cms, with your free Github account.
add new content or edit existing one through the interface
save your changes. They will be stored as draft
go to the workflow tab of the CMS, and move (drag) your changes to the In Review section.
administrators & contributors will discuss and review your changes (visible as Pull Requests on github@joblisttoday/companies/pulls)
your pull request is then merged (or closed), and your github account notified
changes will be visible live on the profiles.joblist.today site (can take 1/2 hour; see gitlab-ci:sync and build)

Netlify-CMS (in open-authoring mode) will handle the work to add a contribution to this project; to create/edit the data models, each companies, so you everyone can safely submit changes.

The code for the netlify-cms instance is hosted here: gitlab@joblist/cms).

Notes on job board providers

Job list today systems are able to automatically display and index jobs from a variety of job board providers.

Test and learn more about which providers are currently available, check providers.joblist.today

it is possible to use the providers as javascript web-components (to embed them in any website), and also in node through their simplified API to the job board providers (see the job list workers code).

only providers that do not require authentication are currently supported; checkout known issues (or create one)

Project's folder structure

The folders of this project/repository are as follow:

In ./companies, all companies that might be hirring
In ./tags, all tags used to describe companies (and cities), for which we have information; can be used for featured tags etc.
In./cities, all cities/region that we want to feature, because a certain number of companies are hirring there

Deployment

Look in the ./gitlab-ci.yml file (the github project made for contributions, synchronises to gitlab, which runs the CI pipelines).

The project is automatically synchronised to https://gitlab.com/joblist/data, which runs the gitlab-ci.yml CI/CD pipelines.

This repository on Github is only used because netlify-cms open-authoring mode requires a repository hosted on Github ( netlifcy-cms github backend, > editorial-workflow mode & graphql-api activated).

Development

There are no specific development steps. If you use the data from this repo, remember the keys of the data might evolve, so pin your project to a commit of this repository (and upgrade safely).

This folder aims to be data only, with all data represented as files inside folders.

The data files currently have the .md extension as their content is markdown, and the data is stored in the frontmatter part of the file (the part always at the top of the file, between the two ---).

For an example on how to parse the data with javascript, check out the job list workers: https://gitlab.com/joblist/workers/-/blob/main/src/database.js
