This is a semester project in Computer Science at Aalborg University.
This guide will show you how to successfully install and run this project. This is the first part of the project - the server part that implements a server providing REST API with endpoints that can be used to test the proposed algorithm.
You can check your version by running node --version or mongod --version respectively.
Also make sure that your local db folder (/data/db by default) exists and MongoDB has
read&write permissions.
Install all packages using npm: npm install.
Run mongod & mongosm -v -f "<OSMFileName>.osm" to import data from .osm file to your local MongoDB.
You will probably have to specify a full path to the mongosm script, as it is installed localy by
default (or you can run the command using npm). By default a new database called test will be
created, with collections nodes, relations and ways. All data in the database are in
the GeoJSON format.
To successfully build and start the express server, simply use npm run build and npm run start. To avoid recompiling the project on every change, simply run the compiler in watch mode: npm run watch-ts.
If everything goes well you should see that the server outputs the following:
Server is up and listening on port 8000.
Connected to Mongo!
The server will be available at localhost:8000. You can try entering http://localhost:8000/api/list/nodes
to your browser to verify that the server has successfully started and is available to accept connections.
The endpoint should return the whole collection of nodes that was imported in your locally hosted MongoDB.
Attached to the paper you can find client.zip where you can find the frontend app that will connect to
this server and provide you with UI.
