Liza Data Collection Framework

Liza is a data collection, validation, and processing framework for JavaScript.

About

The Liza Data Collection Framework—"Liza" for short—is an effort to clean up, formalize, and expand upon a framework that was developed at RT Specialty / LoVullo for collecting, validating, and processing large amounts of user input for insurance quoting.

Configuring

If your distribution does not contain a `configure' file in the project root, then you likely have the sources as committed to the project repository; you may generate the script by issuing the following command:

  $ ./autogen.sh

You may then see ./configure --help for more information.

Building

If configure is not available, see the section "Configuring" above.

  $ ./configure   # see --help for optional arguments
  $ make          # build
  $ npm install   # install js dependencies
  $ make check    # run test cases

Documentation

Compiled documentation for the latest release is available via our GitLab mirror, which uses the same build pipeline as we do on our internal GitLab instance. Available formats are:

• Multi-page HTML
• PDF
• Info
