Urban Data Observatory

This is the Urban Data Observatory front-end. A tool for exploring data and imagine future experiments using the Organicity EaaS platform. This works together with the Organicity APIs.

This tool is based on the SmartCitizen front-end framework.

Prerequisites

You need git to clone the repository. You can get git from http://git-scm.com/.

We also use a number of node.js tools to initialize and test the Web App. You must have node.js and its package manager (npm) installed. You can get them from http://nodejs.org/.

Also gulp: npm install -g gulp (with sudo if you are using Mac).

Clone the project

Clone the repository using:

git clone https://github.com/OrganicityEu/UrbanDataObservatory.git
cd UrbanDataObservatory

Install dependencies

• Install tools to manage and test the application: npm install.
• No need of bower install, npm install will take care of it.

Use Gulp tasks

• gulp or gulp build to build an optimized version of your application in /dist
• gulp serve to launch a browser sync server on your source files
• gulp serve:dist to launch a server on your optimized application
• gulp test to launch your unit tests with Karma
• gulp test:auto to launch your unit tests with Karma in watch mode
• gulp protractor to launch your e2e tests with Protractor
• gulp protractor:dist to launch your e2e tests with Protractor on the dist files

Note: in case you see something like:

Error: Command failed: fatal: unable to read c6a8d370f3e95d9110eca4a03b704bd8940ca40b

Run: rm -Rf $(node -e "console.log(require('path').join(require('os').tmpdir(), 'tmpRepo'))")

Naming conventions for files

Same for all types of components: ..js Ex: resources.controller.js, sensor.service.js, profileTools.constant.js

Naming conventions for components

Controller: Controller. Ex: MapController Service: . Ex: device, kit, user Constructor: . Ex: User, Kit. Note: Constructors are actually made using services. Constants: . Ex: PROFILE_TOOLS

For data that has been resolved from the router, I've normally appended 'Data' to the name.
