Overview

We need to prepare to switch to Socrata. Need to have a toggle in order to test performance on Socrata versus Hugging Face. We can continue to use this toggle to further test data calls.

Action Items

• Pull latest from main
• Document all files where Hugging Face is involved.
  • Folder/Files to exclude: Scripts folder
• Create new environment variable named VITE_DATA_SOURCE. The two possible options are HF and SOCRATA.
  • Also update example.env with new environment variable.
• Set-up logic within the db files to check new environment variable. This should then 'toggle' between choosing Hugging Face or Socrata API.
• Document load times between the two (Hugging Face vs Socrata API)
  • You can take advantage of the existing logging code and files (Map > index.jsx & redux-logger & log.ts). These can be see in the console on load.
