PortalJS Open Source Framework – Rapidly Build Rich Data Portals

PortalJS is a composition-focused framework that provides reusable code snippets and examples for developers to integrate into their projects. Instead of offering a traditional component library that developers install and use directly, it emphasizes the flexibility and uniqueness of data portals by providing customizable, copy-pastable snippets that developers can tailor to their specific needs. PortalJS still provides a minimal core library with just the essentials designed for data portals.

PortalJS is built in JavaScript and React on top of the popular Next.js framework, assuming a "decoupled" approach where the frontend is a separate service from the backend and interacts with backend(s) via an API. It can be used with any backend and has out of the box support for CKAN.
