- Master Plan (As of Feb 27)
- Clone project
(If you don't have brew) --
-
run
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" -
run
install brew
(Once you have brew) --
-
run
brew install yarn -
run
yarn
- run
yarn start
- run
yarn test
- If install or start doesn't work, try running
yarn add react-scripts - If tests get an error that looks like
Error: Error watching file for changes: EMFILErunbrew install watchman - If the app won't compile, and you get an error in compose about not being able to run apply of undefined, try installing react dev tools in chrome
- This map is used in the microsite, which is its own app (https://github.com/cgalbiati/take-back-day-microsite).
- The microiste app imports the map and uses it as a react component by installing directly from git (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23210437/npm-install-private-github-repositories-by-dependency-in-package-json).
- In order to be used as a library, this app must be built.
- In the publish branch in this directory:
- merge in the current develop branch
git merge develop - Delete the lib folder (this seems to be necessary in order to not break styling - I think the bash command I used to copy over assets does not replace exising files)
- Build the library
yarn export - Commit your changes and push to origin (still on the publish branch - don't push to develop)
- Find your most recent commit hash on the publish branch (either through git log or by looking on github ( https://github.com/ProgressiveHackNight/take-back-day-mapping/tree/publish)
- Follow instrcutions in the other repo to update the dependency on that app to point to your updated map version
- Tasks to do are kept in a trello board: https://trello.com/b/vvN1NJTB/take-back-map
- If you take a task, move it to the 'In Development' collumn and assign it to yourself
- If you feel a task can be broken into several smaller tasks, feel free to break it up
- Preference small pull requests - is there a way you can do part of the task and merge that in without breaking the app?
- After you push a branch to github, it will build a preview of your app to netlify (you can find a link in your branch/pull request)
- Please add tests, and run the tests and the app before merging
- Please add screenshots of the app to your pull request
- On merge to master, the new version of the app will build to https://take-back-mapping.netlify.com/
There are two nation-wide Take Back Days held annually. This is a time for people to take their unused and unneeded prescription drugs to designated sites for free and environmentally-friendly disposal.
One barrier to participating is that it is unclear where Take Back sites are. The DEA publishes a set of sites close to the actual Take Back Day, but some pharmacies like CVS and Walgreens also participate in this event. Users have to navigate to multiple sites to get a full view of
Government stands to benefit as they are running these Take Back Days. Constituents benefit by having clearer information on where they can take their prescription drugs for free and proper disposal in a "no questions asked" kind of way.
The New York Attorney General's office has provided publicly available data here.
We need design for the UI that accepts a zip code, and then renders a map. It'd also be useful to know what information would be the most helpful to display to a user to help them get to where they need to go.
We need an embeddable service that can be added to different webpages that accepts a NY State zip code and then renders a map. We need to find a mapping service that will work with our set of take back sites.
We need to build an API endpoint that the frontend can hit to retrieve a list of Take Back locations that are close to a zip code. This will likely involve us hitting a 3rd party endpoint for distance estimations based on zip code. The data for Take Back sites is unclear and doesn't all follow one schema, so take that into account when thinking through how to build this.
We need copy for the zip code input field and an idea of what information should be returned to a user for a give Take Back site.
The information regarding the locations of take back sites is hard to manage. It exists across multiple websites/spreadsheets, and it isn't the same year to year. We need a way to be sure that data is fresh and complete (freshness is preferred over completeness though).
We need research for the best mapping platform to use to power most of this, and we need basic architectural discussions of how this service should work.
