Overview

maps

This is a VikeLabs project meant for navigating around UVic. It's structured as a multi-module gradle project with an api server and a web app (in api and app respectively). You can find out more about the details of those modules in their respective README.md's.

Running

You can run the backend with gradlew api:run and the frontend with gradlew app:run. This should install dependencies you do not already have, so it may take a while first time! Sadly, due to issues with halting (darn Turing), we cannot run both in a single gradle command. gradlew run will run the backend api and wait for it to end (which it doesn't) then run the frontend app.

Testing

You can test everything at once with gradlew test. Or individual projects with gradlew app:test or gradlew api:test

Building

You can build both projects (producing an optimized app and a jar file) with gradlew build. Similar to testing and running, you can build the individual projects with gradlew app:build and gradlew api:build

Deploying

Two Dockerfiles (api.Dockerfile and app.Dockerfile) are tested every push. They run optimized builds and as a result are the best way to deploy the app in a long-running environment.

Some notes on gradle

You can of course run everything here without gradle, you may want to directly run npm commands for example. I would recommend against it as there is a carefully curated dependency graph for tasks with gradle whereas for npm you are on your own. As a result of this if any mentioned gradle commands fail for any reason beyond broken code, that is a bug and should be filed as such

Comments

Openstreetmaps does not have abbrevated names for buildings
Students are often given class names such as DTB instead of David turpin building. Opensreet maps has an abbr_name tag for buildings yet for most uvic buildings these are unfilled. This is a tracking issue as I add the data to openstreetmaps (help is appreciated!). all the info needed is here https://www.uvic.ca/search/maps-buildings/index.php#ipn-building-directory. I'm going alphabetically:

gave up and removed routing. :(

Removed routing. It was very complex to implement and there was little to no support for routing by foot. If we think this is a super important feature I can take another stab at it, but I think it's more important to have stuff like "wing support" to navigate to individual wings of buildings and eventually rooms.

Database

In order to allow for more dynamic queries we needed to move away from the overpass API, this PR adds a Postgres database that is populated with UVIC's OpenStreetMap data using osm2pgsql.

This has an added complexity cost as the project is now considerably more difficult to build - docker is more or less a necessity. I've updated the documentation to hopefully alleviate this.

The main actual code change is removing the network-based overpass queries and their respective caches and replacing it with a database-based data provider. I also reworked how to swagger component naming is generated in order to avoid naming conflicts. (which is why this PR seems to touch a million files).

Resolves #29

create a PostGIS database for our area of interest.

currently, we cache a single request to the openstreetmaps query engine, this will not scale well as we add features and need more dynamic queries. We should set up a database containing all the mapping data from around UVic.

Frontend search
Added a very simple connection to the backend for searching, there are some things to do before this should be considered complete.

[ ] bundle icons and display on search

[ ] show when there were no results found

As a separate PR we should make the backend search faster. Currently, we hit overpass every time which is a speed disaster.

Investiage Users being asked location multipule times
Currently, if you don't check "remember my decision" we prompt the user every time we try to update their location. We probably don't need to do this. Although we may.

[ ] Determine if spamming users is needed.

[ ] If not (which I suspect is the case) fix it.

Deal with case when user doesn't allow access to their current location

Right now every time we try to fetch and display the location of the user but access isn't allowed, we get an error every time the interval goes off (every 2 seconds). I think we need to terminate that interval once the error first arises so we don't keep trying to fetch the location

Fix user's current location pin

As of now, I believe a pin is added to the current location of the user every 2 seconds but they accumulate meaning if the user walks across campus they will leave a trail of pins. Maybe each time a pin is added we remove the previous one

Using Resilience4J, this is a Demo project which uses a Library as background and manages all its requests. This library can rent books online and the usage rate is extremely high. There is a reactive way to access, which is the one normally used, but sometimes, the system needs a bit of help from an old machine running a non-reactive MVC Spring application using JPA. Let's make this in Kotlin and find the best solution!
