> 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. This code is the code running behind https://cyclo.phyks.me/.
As of current version, only the client side part (code running on your local
device) handles your geolocation. **Your precise geolocation is never sent**
to the server or any external resource. However, the map background is
downloaded on demand from [Thunderforest](http://thunderforest.com/) so they
could know the location of the displayed map.
## OpenData
The data collected by https://cyclo.phyks.me/ is available under an
[ODbL](https://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/) license. You can get the
most up to date JSON dump of available reports at
https://cyclo.phyks.me/api/v1/reports.
Statistics about the instance can be fetched at
https://cyclo.phyks.me/api/v1/stats.
## Hosting your own
### Client part
#### Build setup
``` bash
# 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.
* `THUNDERFOREST_API_KEY=` to pass an API key server to use for
[Thunderforest](http://thunderforest.com/) tiles (OpenCycleMap, etc).
* `API_TOKEN=` to pass a token required to access the server side API (check
below in the server part environment variables for more details).
You should also have a look at the build variables under the `config/`
subdirectory.
#### Notes
We are using [A la carte](https://vuetifyjs.com/en/guides/a-la-carte) Vuetify
components to reduce the size of the build. Check that any extra components
you might use is indeed included in `src/vuetify.js` file. The `yarn
list-vuetify-components` command might be useful to help you determine which
components are used across the code.
### Server part
#### Build setup
``` bash
# 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 :)
API routes are all listed within `server/routes.py` file, with documentation
strings.
#### 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](http://docs.peewee-orm.com/en/latest/peewee/playhouse.html#db-url) to connect to (defaults to
`sqlite:///reports.db` which means a SQLite database named `reports.db` in
the current working directory).
* `API_TOKEN=` to specify a token required to `POST` data to the API.
#### Serving in production
You can use the `wsgi.py` script at the root of the git repository to serve
the server side part. You can find some `uwsgi` and `nginx` base config files
under the `support` folder.
## 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`.
## Translating
Translation is done directly on [Zanata](https://translate.zanata.org/iteration/view/cyclassist/master?dswid=7345).
To add new strings to localize, edit the `src/i18n/en.json` file with your new
strings (and only this file). Then, you can run `yarn push-locales` to send
the updated locales to translate and `yarn pull-locales` to fetch the
translated files. To use these scripts you will need the
Translate-toolkit(`pip install translate-toolkit`) and the [Zanata Python CLI
client](https://github.com/zanata/zanata-python-client).
