Overview (Client)ļƒ

Auspice allows you to customise the appearance and functionality of Auspice when the client is built. This is how Auspice running locally and nextstrain.org look different, despite both using ā€œAuspiceā€.

../_images/auspice-vs-nextstrain.png

Notice the difference? Default Auspice (left) and nextstrain.orgā€™s customised version (right)

This is achieved by providing a JSON at build time to Auspice which defines the desired customisations via:

auspice build --extend <JSON>

Hereā€™s the file used by nextstrain.org to change the appearance of Auspice in the above image.

See the client customisation API for the available options.

AGPL Source Code Requirementļƒ

Auspice is distributed under AGPL 3.0. Any modifications made to the auspice source code, including build-time customisations as described here, must be made publicly available. We ask that the ā€œPowered by Nextstrainā€ text and link, rendered below the data visualisations, be maintained in all customised versions of auspice, in keeping with the spirit of scientific citations.
