Cost Calculator Documentation

Introduction

(https://rdmepfl.github.io/costcalc/)

This documentation presents how to configure the cost calculator, it's not dedicated for final users but more for people that wants to update or change providers or to develop new tools inside the cost calculator.

If you want to add/update a category or a provider you want to change data.js The corresponding doc is here [data.js-config](data.js-config.md)

If you want to change something in the engine (or something not possible from data.js) See [configure.md](configure.md)

INSTALL

You can use the cost calculator on your own webserver or use github pages. If you use github pages you just need your own github repository and your cost calculator will be hosted by github (Use full if your IT service does'nt want you to have your own web space)

Use your own webserver

It's pretty easy just copy the latest release into your a directory accessible from your webserver and it will work.

To personalize the tool See [configure.md](configure.md).

Use GitHub pages

You can import the repository https://github.com/rdmepfl/costcalc.git (using the plus button)

Don't use fork as it's designed if you want to help us to improve the tool.

Then clone it to your computer.

To personalize the tool See [configure.md](configure.md).

By activating GitHub pages from the settings of your repository you get an .io url that will publish your tool.
