Welcome to my place

This application is about events which are private by default: you only see those you have been invited to. Anyone is free to create an event and share it with its network. After an event, all participants can add the contact of all other participants. But at the beginning, you must know the contact link (or the ID of type @[email protected]) to start your personal network.

All data are stored directly in users PODs. See the ActivityPods project for more information.

Getting started

Requirements:

• Node (v14 recommended)
• Yarn
• Docker and docker-compose (if you wish to run a local middleware)

Launch the triple store

This is needed only if you wish to run a local middleware (see below).

docker-compose up -d fuseki

Launch the middleware

The middleware is only used to store the events' formats and PODs' providers. All other data are added directly into the user's POD. If you don't want to use a local middleware, you may use https://data.welcometomyplace.org (change the REACT_APP_COMMON_DATA_URL env variable in the frontend, as explained below).

cd middleware
yarn install
yarn run dev

Once in Moleculer REPL, you can use these commands to import the formats and POD providers list (you can of course modify it):

call importers.formats.freshImport
call importers.pod-providers.freshImport

Launch the frontend

Create a .env.local file in the /frontend directory. This file is ignored by Git. Check the .env file and copy the env variables that you wish to change.

You will need to enter at least the REACT_APP_MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN variable.

Then you can do:

cd frontend
yarn install
yarn start

Linking to SemApps packages (optional)

If you wish to modify packages on the SemApps repository and see the changes before they are published, we recommend to use yarn link.

Linking middleware packages

cd /SEMAPPS_REPO/src/middleware
yarn run link-all
cd /THIS_REPO/middleware
yarn run link-semapps-packages

Linking frontend packages

cd /SEMAPPS_REPO/src/frontend
yarn run link-all
cd /THIS_REPO/frontend
yarn run link-semapps-packages

Additionally, frontend packages need to be rebuilt, or your changes will not be taken into account. You can use yarn run build to build a package once, or yarn run dev to rebuild a package on every change.
