This is a new version of Native Land Digital's web app, meant to replace the current WordPress & Mapster frontend.

Built with:

• React
• TypeScript
• yarn
• Vite
• Mapbox + react-map-gl
• Postgres

(Updated 1/8/24)

Currently we are working on our Open Source Debut milestone.

In this milestone, we're implementing measures to ensure code quality, including:

• Testing
• GitHub Actions / CI
• Accessibility
• Creating & Implementing Linting Standards:
  • Prettier
  • ESLint
  • CSS
  • a11y

If you'd like to join us in contributing to these goals, welcome! Please get in touch with us on Native Land Digital's Slack.

We are not yet reviewing or merging pull requests that are outside of the scope of this milestone.

Note that server and client are decoupled and in separate repos.

1. Create a native-land-web root folder to hold both client and server folders.
2. Run git clone to copy this repo (native-land-web-client) into root.
3. Run git clone to copy native-land-web-server into root.
4. Run yarn in both folders to install dependencies.
5. Reach out to Native Land staff on Slack (ping @Will Gutierrez) to get access to dev materials:
   • Mapbox development token, which goes into an .env.local file in client as VITE_MAPBOX_TOKEN
   • sample SQL inserts
6. Create a PostgreSQL server with a native_land_digital database, and insert SQL.
7. Fill out a .env file to connect native-land-web-server to database.
8. cd native-land-web-client and yarn dev to start both client and server at the same time.
9. Navigate to localhost:5173 in your browser.

This is a diagram of how the data flows within the app, and interacts with both the server and Native Land's Mapbox account (which is the source of truth for the front page map):

Note that these two flows are distinct from and don't depend on one another:

1. User viewing (reading) features from the map - (the goal of this first iteration of the new frontend)
2. Researchers creating, updating, and deleting features - (to be tackled in a different milestone after the new frontend goes live)
