Prototype for a personal plant tracker.

Blomstre

Blomstre is a prototype for a personal planttracker. It shows you if your plants is happy or if it needs water.

It was inially made on a one day sprint and was a part of the SALTs bootcamp in Stockholm fall 2020. It is now upgraded with Redux and Mongoose.

Details

Backend: API with Node, Express and Mongoose. Frontend: React and Redux

The data can either be stored in a mongoDB-database or locally in a json file.

Blomstre is a react/express implementation of an earlier project: ha-plant-tracker, a python plant tracker for home assistant.

How to use

Prerequisites

Node and npm

Setup

1. Clone this repository.
2. Install dependencies inside the client and server folders with "npm i".

A) Run locally with a json file as db

1. Run "npm run start-local" inside both the server and client folders.

Or B) Run with mongoDB

1. Create a .env file in the server folder with the variable "DB_URI" with a mongoDb uri.
2. Run "npm-start" inside both the client and server folders.

Roadmap

Possible features that I would like to implement:

• Add a wall with information about each plant
  • "Calendar": A graph similar to githubs contribution graph that shows the plants each day.
    • The user can edit the plants history directly in the calendar.
  • Plant stats.
  • Possibility to edit or delete plant.
• Support for multiple users with authentification.
