Cyclassist

Track and share issues (work, interruption in routes, parked cars) in realtime on bike lanes!

This app is made of two parts: a client webapp and a server part to store and serve the issues.

Client part

Build setup

# Install JS dependencies
yarn install

# Serve with hot reload at localhost:8080
yarn dev

# Build for production with minification
yarn build

# Build for production and view the bundle analyzer report
yarn build --report

Useful environment variables

You can pass a few environment variables to the yarn build|dev commands to adapt the behavior to your needs.

• PUBLIC_PATH=https://.../foobar to serve the app from a subdirectory.
• API_BASE_URL=https://... to specify the location of the server (defaults to /). The value should end with a trailing slash.
• TILE_SERVER= to pass a specific tile server to use rather than the default one.

Server part

Build setup

# Install Python dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Start the server
python -m server

It is better to use a dedicated virtualenv if you can :)

Useful environment variables

You can pass a few environment variables to the python -m server command to adapt its behavior:

• HOST= to specify the host to listen to (defaults to 127.0.0.1 which means localhost only).
• PORT= to specify the port to listen on (defaults to 8081).
• DATABASE= to specify a database URL to connect to (defaults to sqlite:///reports.db which means a SQLite database named reports.db in the current working directory).

Serving

You can use the wsgi.py script at the root of the git repository to serve the server side part.

Contributing

The quickest way to get started is to simply run

API_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8081/ yarn dev

to spawn the client-side webapp, listening on localhost:8080 and

python -m server

to spawn the server-side part, listening on localhost:8081.
