TODOs and backlog

• 'Customised placeholder' on map --> use something different
• UI notifications are somewhat unnecessary -- for the sake of the demo we should put an example notification up there so that we can say: Look our system detected this and notified you about it!'' (this is subject to #TheFancyData)
• encryption for the app
• cache for the app
• GPS for the app
• (GDPR DB??? -- I'm not quite if it is feasible to think that we can get that right or that we have time for that -- it might be good to mention that in the demo that we thought about it so that we don't look like complete fools)

Getting started

Front end

Setting up React development server should be easy provided you have NodeJS:

cd front_end
npm install
npm install --save react-google-maps
npm start

After this you should be able to see the React app hosted via a development server at localhost:3000.

Back end

To be able to test some things you do locally you'll need to interact with the API. It's best to run a Django development server locally for this, although I'm setting up a build system on our Amazon instance.

You'll need Python 3 and pip to set a local development server up.

First, install and set up virtualenv:

pip install virtualenv
virtualenv --python=python3 env

Activate the environments and install requirements:

source env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

If all goes well, at this point you should have Django installed. You still need to get your DB sorted out, though:

cd fever_finder
python manage.py migrate

I prepared some dummy data too which you can load with:

python manage.py loaddata people/fixtures/initial_data.json

After this you should be able to run the server:

python manage.py runserver

This will allow you some very basic interaction with the Django REST framework on localhost:8000/api/people.
