CovMap

A web app to display large-scale epidemiological data and forecasts of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.

Development

We use Docker currently only to develop on different operating systems. It is not necessarily needed, on unix like systems you can use yarn scripts directly, like yarn dev.

Docker for Unix like systems

cd ./CovMap
yarn install
docker-compose up

Yarn for Unix like systems

cd ./CovMap
yarn dev

Then go to https://localhost:8080 in your browser (if you are using docker you have to allow self-signed certificates in order to work)

Test Data

To generate test data for GeoJSONs you want to map your data on (like in /data), use the script at dev/generate-random-data-for-geojson.js.

node dev/generate-random-data-for-geojson --help

Contributing

For fast Hackathon like sprints, we use the shared develop branch. Add your changes locally, use git add X && git commit then use git pull --rebase before you push and resolve possible conflicts locally, then git push.

Requirements for v1.0

MUST:

• Show map of Germany with colored district areas
• Timeline bar: Selection of day and automatic update of map
• Selection for type of displayed data (e.g. confirmed cases, deaths)
• uses efficient encoding of zip code areas, e.g. TopoJSON
• can ask users for symptoms

IMPORTANT:

• Displaying of further graphs, e.g. infections vs time
• Displaying of further tables, e.g. infections vs state or zip code

NICE TO HAVE:

• Addition of further countries
• Multilingual
• does not rely on 3rd party maps, e.g. MapBox
