When babies are born to women in the Georgia prison system, the mother is allotted a 48-hour stay in the hospital. After these 48 hours, the mother is returned to prison and a chosen caretaker will then come to the hospital to pick up the baby and bring it home. The nonprofit works with these caretakers to provide them with resources and supplies, but lacks a platform for the client to interact with.
We're building that platform.
You'll need:
- Figma
- Firebase Access - In Bitwarden, ask Parker if you need help accessing it!
When you make a change, create a new branch on the repository
The project was originally two parts: a web app in React and a mobile app in React Native. We are completely abandoning the React Native portion and recreating all mobile pages for web. This means that all development should be in /web and /mobile should only be used to backend endpoints and guides to create pages.
Node 16.13.1
cd web
npm install
npm run secrets:windows # or secrets:linux for Mac or Linux users
npm run devIn order for the jszip library to function properly, node version >=18.12.1 must be used
Both the application (web & mobile) can be ran directly in a development environment via docker-compose. This may simplify build environment setup as only Docker & Docker-compose need to be installed.
To run both the mobile & web appplications, simply type docker-compose up in the root directory.
Normally, we'd use Firebase emulator so that way we don't touch the production database. However, this is a brand new project, so for now we'll use the global database.
We're using firebase functions for a couple of small things — mainly custom claims for whitelisted emails as described here. Otherwise, we'll be writing to firebase using client-side packages and validating the data with firestore security rules.
You'll need to install the firebase emulator first. Then, run the following commands:
firebase login
firebase emulators:start --only functionsUse another terminal session to make requests, or use Postman.
Note: the mobile repo does not work and will only be met with errors.
cd mobile
npm install
npm run startYou may have to install the expo-cli which you can do with the following command:
npm install -g expo-cliTo run only the web application, type docker-compose up web in the terminal in the same main directory
To run only the mobile application, type docker-compose up mobile in the terminal in the same main directory
Both appplications in the docker environment have support for live-reloading of changes made on the host machine
