Building and installing

Make sure you have installed Node.js (at least v12) and Python (v3) on your computer. Run npm install to build all necessary dependencies for overall project. cd frontend and run npm install to install those for the frontend. cd backend and run pip install -r requirements.txt (if you have pip on PATH) or py -m pip install -r requirements.txt to install those for the backend. Note that you can do so globally or you can set up your own virtual environment (venv).

Run git checkout dev so that you're working on the developer branch. From there, you can checkout to feature branch you're currently working on

Run npm run start:dev-venv or npm run start:dev-global to start the local servers for both frontend and backend to begin development! Use the global version if you don't have a virtual environment set up.

If you only need to work on the backend, just run npm run start:backend. If you only need to work on the frontend, just run npm run start:frontend.

AWS Notes

You will need an Amazon Web Services Account.

Install the AWS CLI and link your account by running aws configure and entering in your AWS credentials. Your AWS Account will host the resources (DynamoDB tables, ElasticBeanstalk Applications, CodePipeline pipelines) necessary to develop and deploy the application.

weathr.io's Issues

npm script for backend is windows only.

the shell script used only finds windows venv executables, it is different for linux and macos. There is no venv/Scripts on non-windows venv installations.
