const USERNAME = 'your_bot_username';
const PASSWORD = 'your_bot_password';

module.exports = {
	USERNAME,
	PASSWORD,
};

Project Structure

Structure and sequence of operations (order in which you should execute the scripts).

USA Maps of counties

SVG from categories like: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Locator_maps_of_counties_of_Wisconsin

The maps have a specific strucuture in which you can automate uploads as long as names are something like: Map of Wisconsin highlighting Adams County.svg So: Map of ${State} highlighting ${CountyId} County.svg

• main_prepare.js: Prepare mass upload based on one of downloaded map of a county.
• main.js: Mass upload using a list of CountyId (array of strings). Can use a more specific mapping like this:

   {id: 'Saint_Johns', destFileName: 'Map of Florida highlighting St. Johns County.svg'},

• bot.config.js: Configuration file for user credentials (for upload).

Generic SVG fixer

A more generic fixer that just move a clip-path tag to definitions (<clipPath> into <defs>).

• svg_download.js: Download a category. Filters to only download SVG files.
• svg_fix.js: Mass fix downloaded files. It does try to apply map colors, but it should work for non-map SVG too.
• svg_fixed_upload.js: Mass upload of fixed files.
