Development and deployment
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
There are various scripts to help setup MapComplete for deployment and develop-deployment.
|
|
|
|
This documents attempts to shed some light on these scripts.
|
|
|
|
Note: these scripts change every now and then - if the documentation here is incorrect or you run into troubles, do
|
|
leave a message in [the issue tracker](https://github.com/pietervdvn/MapComplete/issues)
|
|
|
|
Architecture overview
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
At its core, MapComplete is a static (!) website. There are no servers to host.
|
|
|
|
The data is fetched from Overpass/OSM/Wikidata/Wikipedia/Mapillary/... and written there directly. This means that any
|
|
static file server will do to create a self-hosted version of MapComplete.
|
|
|
|
Development
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
**Windows users**: All scripts are made for linux devices. Use the Ubuntu terminal for Windows (or even better - make
|
|
the switch ;) ). If you are using Visual Studio Code you can use
|
|
a [WSL Remote](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-wsl) window, or use the
|
|
Devcontainer (see more details later).
|
|
|
|
To develop and build MapComplete, you
|
|
|
|
0. Make a fork and clone the repository.
|
|
0. Install the nodejs version specified in [.tool-versions](./.tool-versions)
|
|
- On linux: install npm first `sudo apt install npm`, then install `n` using npm: ` npm install -g n`, which can then install node with `n install <node-version>`
|
|
- You can [use asdf to manage your runtime versions](https://asdf-vm.com/).
|
|
0. Install `npm`. Linux: `sudo apt install npm` (or your favourite package manager), Windows: install
|
|
nodeJS: https://nodejs.org/en/download/
|
|
0. On iOS, install `wget` (`brew install wget`)
|
|
0. Run `npm run init` which …
|
|
- runs `npm install`
|
|
- generates some additional dependencies and files
|
|
0. Run `npm run start` to host a local testversion at http://localhost:1234/index.html
|
|
0. By default, a landing page with available themes is served. In order to load a single theme, use `layout=themename`
|
|
or `userlayout=true#<layout configuration>` as [Query parameter](URL_Parameters.md). Note that the shorter URLs (
|
|
e.g. `bookcases.html`, `aed.html`, ...) _don't_ exist on the development version.
|
|
|
|
Development using Windows
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
For Windows you can use the devcontainer, or the WSL subsystem.
|
|
|
|
To use the devcontainer in Visual Studio Code:
|
|
|
|
0. Make sure you have installed
|
|
the [Remote - Containers](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers)
|
|
extension and it's dependencies.
|
|
1. Make a fork and clone the repository.
|
|
2. After cloning, Visual Studio Code will ask you if you want to use the devcontainer.
|
|
3. Then you can either clone it again in a volume (for better performance), or open the current folder in a container.
|
|
4. By now, you should be able to run `npm run start` to host a local testversion at http://localhost:1234/index.html
|
|
5. By default, a landing page with available themes is served. In order to load a single theme, use `layout=themename`
|
|
or `userlayout=true#<layout configuration>` as [Query parameter](URL_Parameters.md). Note that the shorter URLs (
|
|
e.g. `bookcases.html`, `aed.html`, ...) _don't_ exist on the development version.
|
|
|
|
To use the WSL in Visual Studio Code:
|
|
|
|
0. Make sure you have installed the [Remote - WSL]() extension and it's dependencies.
|
|
1. Open a remote WSL window using the button in the bottom left.
|
|
2. Make a fork and clone the repository.
|
|
3. Install `npm` using `sudo apt install npm`.
|
|
4. Run `npm run init` and generate some additional dependencies and generated files. Note that it'll install the
|
|
dependencies too
|
|
5. Run `npm run start` to host a local testversion at http://localhost:1234/index.html
|
|
6. By default, a landing page with available themes is served. In order to load a single theme, use `layout=themename`
|
|
or `userlayout=true#<layout configuration>` as [Query parameter](URL_Parameters.md). Note that the shorter URLs (
|
|
e.g. `bookcases.html`, `aed.html`, ...) _don't_ exist on the development version.
|
|
|
|
Automatic deployment
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Currently, the master branch is automatically deployed to 'mapcomplete.osm.be' by a github action.
|
|
|
|
Every branch is automatically built (upon push) to 'pietervdvn.github.io/mc/<branchname>' by a github action.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Deploying a fork
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
A script creates a webpage for every theme automatically, with some customizations in order to:
|
|
|
|
- to have shorter urls
|
|
- have individual social images
|
|
- have individual web manifests
|
|
|
|
This script can be invoked with `npm run prepare-deploy`
|
|
|
|
If you want to deploy your fork:
|
|
|
|
0. `npm run prepare-deploy`
|
|
1. `npm run build`
|
|
2. Copy the entire `dist` folder to where you host your website. Visiting `index.html` gives you the landing page,
|
|
visiting `yourwebsite/<theme>` should bring you to the appropriate theme.
|
|
|
|
Weird errors
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Try removing `node_modules`, `package-lock.json` and `.cache`
|
|
|
|
Misc setup
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
The json-git-merger is used to quickly merge translation files, [documentation here](https://github.com/jonatanpedersen/git-json-merge#single-project--directory)
|
|
|
|
Overview of package.json-scripts
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- `increase-memory`: this is a big (and memory-intensive) project to build and run, so we give nodejs some more RAM.
|
|
- `start`: start a development server.
|
|
- `test`: run the unit tests
|
|

|
|
- `generate:translations`: compiles the translation file into a javascript file
|
|
- `generate:layouts`: uses `index.html` as template to create all the theme index pages. You'll want to run `clean` when
|
|
done

|
|
the [OSM-wiki](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/MapComplete),...
|
|

|
|
