Setting Mapbox access token
To create an access token, you must first create a Mapbox account. The token should have the Downloads:Read scope.
- to download the Android SDK add the token configuration to
~/.gradle/gradle.properties:
SDK_REGISTRY_TOKEN=YOUR_SECRET_MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN
- to download the iOS SDK add the token configuration to
~/.netrc:
machine api.mapbox.com
login mapbox
password YOUR_SECRET_MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN
Setting other secret tokens
Next, create a .env file in the root directory of the project. This file will contain other tokens required for the app. The file should look like this:
MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN=MAPBOX_PUBLIC_TOKEN_HERE
TRAILBLAZE_APP_TOKEN=APP_SECRET_HERE
AUTH0_SCHEME=demo
AUTH0_DOMAIN=trailblaze-dev.us.auth0.com
AUTH0_CLIENT_ID=SECRET_CLIENT_ID_HERE
Note:
- Use your Mapbox public token in this file.
- For the app token, contact trailblaze.team@outlook.com
- The Mapbox access token and the app token are the only required fields to use the basic functionality of the app (Creating routes locally and exploring existing community routes).
- Other fields are only required for accessing your Trailblaze account (saving routes, posting on the community page) and will not be shared to preserve app security.
Trailblaze was a 4-month long capstone project completed by Andrey Takhtamirov, Alex Braverman, and Filipe Brito (Conestoga College Software Engineering Technology 2023), including a client application (trailblaze-android) and a server application (trailblaze-server).
Both projects are now open-sourced and available here:
