GirlGuidesCanada is embarking on a massive change which will impact all of its members in some way, shape or form (~100k). Girls, parents, Guiders or other Sr. volunteers have no centralized way to share what they feel/think about the change and we have no way to hear, analyze and consolidate 'the pulse' of the field. We need a better way to get at this information to help us make decisions in real time!
- Created an application that allows the client to gather data from social media
- Currently using Twitter API but scalable to other social media APIs
- We gathered data from these five hashtags: #GirlGuides, #GirlGuidesCanada, #GirlGuidesCookies, #GirlScouts, #MyPlanet
- We want the client to be able to hear people's thoughts and opinions on this change, therefore allowed filtering of tweets based on key words, hashtags or twitter handle.
- Analyzed the sentiment (joy, fear, sadness, disguist, anger) of each tweet body using Watson Tone Analyzer API
- Mac OS X, Windows, or Linux
- Yarn package + Node.js v6.5 or newer
- Text editor or IDE pre-configured with React/JSX/Flow/ESlint (learn more)
Before you start, take a moment to see how the project structure looks like:
.
├── /build/ # The folder for compiled output
├── /docs/ # Documentation files for the project
├── /node_modules/ # 3rd-party libraries and utilities
├── /public/ # Static files which are copied into the /build/public folder
├── /src/ # The source code of the application
│ ├── /components/ # React components
│ ├── /data/ # GraphQL server schema and data models
│ ├── /routes/ # Page/screen components along with the routing information
│ ├── /client.js # Client-side startup script

You can start by cloning the latest version of this project on your local machine by running:
$ git clone \
git@github.com:hmeinertrita/MyPlanetGirlGuides.git
$ cd MyPlanetGirlGuidesThis will install both run-time project dependencies and developer tools listed in package.json file.
- Install MongoDB
use react-tweetsto create database named react-tweets- Start mongo service
brew start mongodbandmongo
This command will build the app from the source files (/src) into the output
/build folder. As soon as the initial build completes, it will start the
Node.js server (node build/server.js) and Browsersync
with HMR on top of it.
http://localhost:3000/ — Node.js server (
build/server.js) with Browsersync and HMR enabled
http://localhost:3000/graphql — GraphQL server and IDE
http://localhost:3001/ — Browsersync control panel (UI)
Now you can open your web app in a browser, on mobile devices and start
hacking away. Whenever you modify any of the source files inside the /src folder,
the module bundler (Webpack) will recompile the
app on the fly and refresh all the connected browsers.
Note that the yarn start command launches the app in development mode,
the compiled output files are not optimized and minimized in this case.
