# NaijaPulse — Nigeria Economy Dashboard A live dashboard tracking three numbers that matter to everyday life in Nigeria: the Naira exchange rate, petrol pump prices, and the inflation rate. ## Stack - React + TypeScript + Tailwind CSS - Recharts for data visualization - No backend needed — fully client-side ## Data sources - **Exchange rates**: live, fetched client-side from fawazahmed0/currency-api — free, no API key, updated daily, includes historical rates by date. - **Fuel prices**: curated monthly dataset (`src/data/fuel.ts`) compiled from NNPC and Dangote Refinery pricing announcements and Nigerian business news (Punch, Guardian, Legit.ng). No live official API exists for this, so it's manually maintained. - **Inflation**: curated monthly dataset (`src/data/inflation.ts`) sourced from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) Consumer Price Index reports. ## Running locally ``` npm install npm run dev ``` ## Deploying No environment variables or backend needed — this is a fully static site. 1. Push to GitHub 2. Import into Vercel 3. Deploy (auto-detected as Vite) ## Updating the curated datasets Fuel and inflation data need periodic manual updates since there's no live API for them in Nigeria. Just add a new entry to the arrays in `src/data/fuel.ts` and `src/data/inflation.ts`.
