Check people into your event and print their name badge.

Foolish assumptions

  • You are using a DYMO LabelWriter printer to print badges
  • You are printing on 2.25in x 1.25in labels
  • You have DYMO Label software installed on macOS (tested with Label v8.7.0.181 on macOS 10.12)
  • Your printing computer has the "DIN Regular" and "DIN Bold" fonts installed on it
  • Your Airtable schema matches what app.js is expecting
  • You think self-signed certificates are a suitable form of security over the local network

Getting started

  1. Install DYMO Label and set up your label printer
  2. npm install
  3. Acquire Airtable. Put your API key and base ID in config.json (see config.example.json)
  4. Fill out the rest of config.json with your DocuSign ping endpoint (optional), users, and session secret
  5. Generate self-signed certificates by running ./scripts/gen-https.sh (you may need to modify the location of openssl.cnf)
  6. Build the client's bundle.js with browserify. (Hint: npm start will run watchify to do it for you.)
  7. node app.js
  8. Navigate to https://localhost:8080 or https://[some IP address]:8080 on your local network. You can also specify a port on the command line like PORT=3000 node app.js
  9. Login with your username and password from step 4

You're now ready to check in people and print name badges. Go get 'em, tiger.
