Development

Structure

The project contains following parts:

• app/: A PWA written with Vue3
• android-app/: A native android app wrapper of the PWA
• collectors/*: Multiple agents to scrape data from different apis
• nats/: The NATS server used as message broker to stream data from collectors to the PWA clients

Gitpod

PWA development

Copy the .env.sample file to .env. For the PWA development you only need to set VITE_NATS_URL. You can set it to wss://api.kiel-live.ju60.de/ to use the production server so you don't need to start your own backend (nats & collectors).

cd app/
pnpm install # install dependencies
pnpm start # start the PWA

Nats & collectors development

Nats is the message broker used to bring data from the collectors to the PWA clients.

To start Nats simply copy the .env.sample file to .env, adjust as needed and run docker-compose up -d.
