LabFlow

A visualisation tool for educational facilities to help students better manage their time and gain access to university resources.

How to run the application

• Download the Expo Go app.
• cd into a folder titled LabFlow (ensure the folder contains the file App.js) and run the command npx expo start in a terminal.
• A QR code will be generated in the terminal. Scan this using the Expo Go app or your phone camera app.
• The app should load and you can create an account to sign up or login if you have a pre-existing account.
• Since this is a demo and still a prototype I have saved the API token as a local environment variable (DO NOT CHANGE THIS OR AUTHENTICATION WILL FAIL).

How to run unit tests

• cd into the folder titled backend, this folder should contain a folder titled tests which holds all the unit tests for the API endpoints.
• Ensure you have installed the following python libraries onto your system using a package manager of your choice. I will use pip as an example:
  • pip install requests
  • pip install pytest
  • pip install datetime
• Once you have the correct libraries installed. Run the command pytest, this will search the tests folder for all test files to execute.
• You will have to run this command twice. On first run the tests are likely to fail due to the cold start caused by using serverless functions on a low tier plan.
