Seek is an app for identifying plants and animals. It is available on iOS and Android.

1. Make sure you're running the Node version specified in .nvmrc. Realm only works with certain versions of Node, so you will need this for local data storage.
2. Install dependences with npm install
3. If building for iOS, run npx pod-install from within the ios directory.

1. Go to android/app/src/main/res/values and rename config.xml.example to config.xml (and change its values to match your API keys)
2. Rename config.example.js to config.js and change the JWT secret.
3. Add AR Camera model and taxonomy files.
   1. The sample model files are available in this small_model.zip file.
   2. On Android, these files are named small_inception_tf1.tflite and small_export_tax.csv. Create a camera folder within Android assets (i.e. android/app/src/main/assets/camera) and place the files there.
   3. On iOS, these files are named small_inception_tf1.mlmodel and small_export_tax.json and should be added to the Resources folder in XCode.
4. Add files to utility/commonNames to allow the AR camera to load common names in localized languages. The latest files are attached assets named commonNames.tar.gz in the latest Seek release page.
5. For Fastlane, add .env file and corresponding JSON_KEY_ANDROID file, following example in .env.example.
6. Add local.properties file to android folder with correct sdk path to build on an Android device.

1. Run npm start
2. Build locally to a device or simulator by running npm run ios or npm run android

Most third-party libraries use autolinking as of React Native 0.60.0. Any exceptions are listed in the react-native.config.js file. Currently, react-native-inat-camera on Android is manually linked.

1. One common issue in React Native involves libraries not being found by the bundler. If this happens, try npx react-native clean-project to clear caches and reinstall node_modules and pods.

We do our translations on Crowdin. Head over to https://crowdin.com/project/seek and create an account, and you can start suggesting translations there. We regularly export translations from Crowdin and import them to this project.

1. Import translation files into i18n.js.
2. Add localized names to utility/dictionaries/languageDict.js for users to be able to choose a locale in settings.
3. Import languages in utility/dateHelpers.js so date strings can be correctly translated.
4. Use staging to add new locales to seek_common_names.rb.
5. Generate a compressed commonNames.tar.gz directory via staging and copy it to your local machine
6. Spot check that common name translations look correct, then overwrite existing files in utility/commonNames.
7. If needed, load additional files via addCommonNamesFromFile function in utility/commonNamesHelpers.js.
