Final Project of Management Information Systems Course at UnB in 2021.2.
University of Brasilia, Institute of Exact Sciences, Computer Science Department.
Technologies used: React Native, Google Firebase, Android Studio.
Developed by:
We developed an Android application using React Native and Android Studio to reduce the time needed to find a parking space in Brasília. Initially we prototyped the application using Figma in order to get feedback about the user experience and improve the interface. We also worked with Google Firebase to manage user inputted data and easily update the cloud database. Firebase also provides tools for tracking analytics, reporting and fixing app crashes, creating marketing and product experiment. Our group collaborated using version control systems to organize modifications and assign tasks.
As we utilized Google Firebase, before running the project you must create a Google API key, otherwise you will not be able to acess our main functionalities.
To run the project, you must firstly install node and npm softwares in your operational system. We used Windows for that matter. Official documentation about installation may be found here.
Furthermore, you must install expo-cli, which can be done by using the following command in your terminal:
npm install -g expo-cli
After that, you can clone the github project and install the dependencies using the commands:
git clone https://github.com/gss214/park-it.git
cd park-it
npm install
The command npm install will install all dependencies of the project, which may take a while. To run the app, use the command:
expo start
You may run the app with an Android smarthphone or an emulator, as instructed by the command above.
