Taking you back through the history of National Parks. Built using Svelte and ZEIT Now API routes.

When working with Twin Pines it is important to note a few required environment variables:

• NPS_API_KEY: National Parks Service API key, required for API work. This is not required for the mock API /api/mock/*
• LOCATIONIQ_API_KEY: required for reverse geocoding service /api/service/reverse-geocode
• AUTH0_DOMAIN: required for Auth0 authentication service
• AUTH0_CLIENT_ID: required for Auth0 authentication service
• AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET: required for Auth0 authentication service

Future Plans

• set up IndexedDB interface
• design client-based caching mechanism for NPS API calls
  • most likely stringified JSON in localStorage
  • look into indexeddb in case this data exceeds 10MB
  • this will help cut down on API usage, especially since the data is relatively static except for a few endpoints:
    • alerts
• Add Fauna for user settings
  • store settings in indexeddb for intermediate
