This is a website for viewing BC Liquor's entire catalog as a table, sorted by mL of alcohol per dollar. The table has various filters for narrowing down what you're looking for. Data is updated once per day.

This project has cost me $0, since I host it for free on Cloudflare Pages and new data is fetched using GitHub actions. Even on a private repo, my free minutes per month are more than enough.

Development

First, install the required packages:

$ bun install

Then, get some test data and run the development server

$ bun run generate
$ bun run start

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

Building and Deploying

This repo uses parcel to build. The following commands with update the data and build the page:

$ bun run generate
$ bun run build

You can then serve the files from the dist/ folder.

This repo uses a GitHub action to rebuild the repo every day, where the build files are output to the build branch. Cloudflare Pages then deploys any new commits to the build branch immediately. This keeps the data fresh, as anyone using the site will have data from within the last 24 hours.
