How to build a fast and reliable community mapping tool with GatsbyJS and Firebase

This project was built to bring communities closer together in these extraordinary, isolated times. Please fork the project and create a community isolation map for your own neighbourhood.

If you have any questions about how to set up the project – or any feedback – please let me know: marc.fehr@gmail.com

🚀 Quick start

0. Note: USE THE MASTER BRANCH FOR YOUR DEVELOPMENT

1. Fork or clone your own project from this repository

2. Create a Gatsby site.

   This site was built with GatsbyJS, a static site generator working with the React Framwork. For more about GatsbyJS, go to https://www.gatsbyjs.org/. The documentation is here: https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/

   # open the project folder in your terminal
   cd ~/project-name
   
   # I suggest to install the Node Version Manager (nvm), first: https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm
   # ... if you have nvm installed, run
   nvm use
   
   # If you don't want to work with NVM, make sure your local Node version works with the dependencies
   
   # then run either
   yarn install
   
   #or
   npm install

3. Start developing.

   To launch the site, navigate into your new site’s directory and start it up.

   cd ~/project-name/
   gatsby develop

4. Open the source code and start editing!

   Your site is now running at http://localhost:8000!

   Note: You'll also see a second link: http://localhost:8000/___graphql. This is a tool you can use to experiment with querying your data. Learn more about using this tool in the Gatsby tutorial.

   Open the my-project directory in your code editor of choice and edit src/pages/index.js. Save your changes and the browser will update in real time!

🧐 What's inside?

A quick look at the top-level files and directories you'll see in a Gatsby project.

.
├── node_modules
├── src
├── .gitignore
├── .prettierrc
├── gatsby-config.js
├── gatsby-node.js
├── LICENSE
├── yarn.lock
├── yarn-error.log
├── package.json
└── README.md

1. /node_modules: This directory contains all of the modules of code that your project depends on (npm packages) are automatically installed.

2. /src: This directory will contain all of the code related to what you will see on the front-end of your site (what you see in the browser) such as your site header or a page template. src is a convention for “source code”.

3. .gitignore: This file tells git which files it should not track / not maintain a version history for.

4. .prettierrc: This is a configuration file for Prettier. Prettier is a tool to help keep the formatting of your code consistent.

5. gatsby-config.js: This is the main configuration file for a Gatsby site. This is where you can specify information about your site (metadata) like the site title and description, which Gatsby plugins you’d like to include, etc. (Check out the config docs for more detail).

6. gatsby-node.js: This file is where Gatsby expects to find any usage of the Gatsby Node APIs (if any). These allow customization/extension of default Gatsby settings affecting pieces of the site build process.

7. gatsby-ssr.js: This file is where Gatsby expects to find any usage of the Gatsby server-side rendering APIs (if any). These allow customization of default Gatsby settings affecting server-side rendering.

8. LICENSE: Gatsby is licensed under the MIT license.

9. yarn.lock (See package.json below, first). This is an automatically generated file based on the exact versions of your npm dependencies that were installed for your project. (You won’t change this file directly).

10. package.json: A manifest file for Node.js projects, which includes things like metadata (the project’s name, author, etc). This manifest is how npm knows which packages to install for your project.

11. README.md: A text file containing useful reference information about your project.

12. .nvmrc: Contains the Node Version manager variable 13.11.0 (this is what the projet was built on)

🎓 Learning Gatsby

Looking for more guidance? Full documentation for Gatsby lives on the website. Here are some places to start:

• For most developers, we recommend starting with our in-depth tutorial for creating a site with Gatsby. It starts with zero assumptions about your level of ability and walks through every step of the process.

• To dive straight into code samples, head to our documentation. In particular, check out the Guides, API Reference, and Advanced Tutorials sections in the sidebar.

💫 Deploy
