This is a project for the CUHackIt Hackathon.
An application where people in Clemson can go to report any feedback they have about the university. They can see issues with facilities like a broken light, broken water fountain and then report it to the University Facilities for maintaince through one single application. They could also use it to give feedback to the univerity for things like making a building more accessible by attaching an image and description about the issue and submitting it to the accessibility counsil for work.
Currently the standard for submitting maintenance request to the University is long and tedious. The form is no easy to find online and there is a long set of directions on how to use it. We hope that CUFixIt can centralize request into one mobile application that is simple and easy to use.
We have developed a react-native mobile application for submitting the request to the university. Login to the add, upload or take a picture, add a description, select type of issue and description then you are ready to submit. Once someone has submitted a request the type of issue, building where the issue is, image they chose, and their user name will be submitted to the database. The application will then determine based off of the building and type of issue who to contact and will email the contact for that issue type with all of the information.
This api is accessible through Amazon ECS at http://[IP Address]:8002/. This was hosted on Amazon ECS for the CUHackIT but has since been taken down. You can always test running it locally using Docker.
| HTTP request | Description |
|---|---|
| GET / | returns a hello world to check on API connection |
| GET /v1/getall | returns a slice of all reuqest in the DB |
| POST /v1/submit | submits a request from the json body |
| GET /v1/get/type/{type} | returns a slice of all the request of type {type} |
| GET /v1/get/building/{building} | returns a slice of all the request of building {building} |
| GET /v1/get/user/{user} | returns a slice of all the request from user {user} |
We have created a database using Postgresql that is being hosted using Amazon RDS. This database can be accessed from your local terminal or application, but it connected to our Amazon ECS instance so that the API can interact with the database.
We have created an image store using Amazon S3 in order to store all of the images coming from our users request. When they submit a valid form the image the selected or took is uploaded to S3 and the url or the location is stored into the DB.
Start the docker containers by running docker-compose build and then docker-compose up.
Start the react-native app by running react-native run-ios.
