Technologies

The application runs on the web, and supports mobile webviews and controls. To achieve this, the following is used:

1. TypeScript
2. Globe.GL library (Globe API for THREE.js)
3. Parcel (buildtool)

Prerequisites

1. Yarn (run dev/build commands)
2. AWS CLI (deploy/push to ECS)

Build/run commands

Begin by installing all dependencies:

yarn

You can then run the project locally:

yarn dev

NOTE There is currently a limitation due to file serving that the value of NGINX_SERVE must be set to false in src/config.ts in order to run locally. More on this below.

You can also push a new image to ECS using the following command (keep in mind you need to have a valid auth session with AWS):

yarn push
