Local development

Install the Ionic CLI with npm:

$ npm install -g @ionic/cli

Clone the repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/laws-africa/constitution-app-react.git
$ cd constitution-app-react

Install dependencies with npm:

$ npm i

Serving the app

$ ionic serve

This should open your browser window on http://localhost:8100!

Updating content (backend)

Download src/assets/data/data.json from https://edit.laws.africa/concompass/data.json and replace the existing file.

Update the legislation content as follows:

Create a Python virtual environment if you want and install the requirements

$ cd backend
$ pip install -r requirements.txt 

Run the script to download legislation content.

$ python main.py

Production deployment

The app is hosted by GitHub pages. It is built automatically from the master branch by the GitHub action script at .github/workflows/deploy.yml.

To mimic this process, use:

$ ionic build --prod --engine=web

This generates a build folder which contains the entire public website.
