This repository contains both the frontend app written in React, as well as the Flask backend used for calculating and generating the maps.
This is still a work in progress and should be thought of as such.
The frontend is written in React, using the create-react-app bootstrap to provide the PWA functionality. It can be run by using the normal yarn start and yarn build commands (or your chosen dependency manager).
The backend is a simple Python Flask application that provides an API for querying the cycle parking dataset. It returns a Google Map page with the required markers to enable the React app to function.
The marker icon images are currently hard linked to my PythonAnywhere project, so will need updated on the relevant lines.
It uses a config.ini file in the flask directory to provide the Google Maps API key. In order for this to run successfully, create a config.ini file in the flask directory in the following format:
[DEFAULT]
api_key = x87gf8fgukyevfuovefyfvuo4vf4fPath names to images and the dataset will need to be changed if using a production server to publish the application, such as WSGI.
The data used for the cycle parking infrastructure comes from TfL originally , a copy of which is included in this repository. The documentation for the dataset can be found here.
