At Ippon, we maintain a Practices Radar based on Zalando one public Tech Radar to help our engineering & staff teams align on technology choices. It is based on the pioneering work by ThoughtWorks.
This repository contains the code to generate the visualization:
radar.js (based on d3.js v4).
Feel free to use and adapt it for your own purposes.
- Insert practice file into
practicesdirectory, composed by Quadrants & Entry definitions:
const dataRadar = {
// Quadrants (limited to 4)
quadrants: [
{ name: "..." },
],
// Rings : 0=ADOPT ; 1=TRIAL ; 2=ASSESS ; 3=HOLD
// Entries
entries: [
{
quadrant: 0, // quadrant reference [number]
ring: 0, // ring reference [number]
label: "Amazing tech", // entry name [text]
active: true, // entry visible [bool]
description: "Lorem ipsum <i>arcu</i> non dapibus <a href='https://blog.ippon.fr/'>blogus</a>.", // entry description modal [text/html]
moved: 0, // entry evolution [-1/0/1]
},
...
]
}- Include the practice definition into 'practices.js' file :
const practices = [
{
name: "DataRadar",
radar: dataRadar
}
]- Add the practice file into index.html :
<script src="practices/data.js"></script>- install dependencies with yarn (or npm):
yarn
- start local dev server:
yarn start
- your default browser should automatically open and show the url
http://localhost:3000/
Any contributions, bigger or smaller ones, are welcome, we thank you! Even the slightest documentation is an improvement to the global consistency of this radar.
3 points to ease your configuration:
- This project is based on GitHub, you will need to fork this repository to suggest improvements
- From your local Git, clone your fork
git clone git@github.com:<YOUR_USERNAME>/tech-radar.git - Bind your forked local repo to the common upstream
git remote add upstream git@github.com:ippontech/tech-radar.git
From here you'll be able to fetch and contribute with such commands:
- Fetching upstream updates:
git fetch upstream && git rebase upstream/master - Creating a new branch:
git switch -c <YOUR_BRANCHNAME> - Committing and pushing:
git add -A && git commit -m "<your commit atomic explanation message>" && git push origin - Copy the help supplied by your local git command and use it:
git push --set-upstream origin <YOUR_BRANCHNAME> - Open a pull request on link supplied such as `https://github.com/<YOUR_USERNAME>/tech-radar/pull/new/<YOUR_BRANCHNAME>
- On GitHub interface, do not forget to set the base repository as
ippontech/tech-radarto create the pull request against common upstream
To easily review others' pull requests, you can edit your .git/config, and update this section:
[remote "upstream"]
url = git@github.com:ippontech/tech-radar.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/upstream/*
fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/upstream/pr/*
This will allow you to locally fetch remote pull requests using git fetch upstream,
and review/test the concerned pull requests, using git switch pr/<number>.
