Interactive map of filming locations around the world. Built with a Node backend and React frontend, with Leafletjs for the interactive map.
This project is built around docker, but can be run without it.
The database setup/connection info is handled through docker configuration.
If you are running a database outside of docker check the environment variables in docker-compose.yml for the container film_locations to see what environment variables need to be set.
To initialize the database start the mongodb docker image with docker-compose up -d mongodb.
To connect to the MongoDB database running in docker.
docker-compose run mongodb mongo --host mongodb --username film_locations_user --password film_locations_pass --authenticationDatabase admin film_locations
To generate the database run docker-compose run --rm get_film_locations.
This requires a connection to Google's Geocoding API which can be configured in credentials/google.json.
This is not a free API, so be aware of billing before running. There will be around 100,000 requests made to it.
In the future I'm planning to add some test data so that this script doesn't need to run.
The redis cache is similar to the database; the setup and connection is handled through docker configuration.
Same as the database, if you are running redis outside of docker, look in docker-compose.yml under the film_locations container for environment variables that need to be set.
If you aren't using the docker images, you'll need to run npm install and npm run build
Otherwise the commands in Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml will take care of these steps.
The website can be started with docker-compose up -d film_locations and accessed at localhost:5000.
This runs the start-dev npm command, which runs the express server with nodemon. Any changes to server code will trigger a refresh.
If you want to hot reaload the frontend code you can also run the command docker-compose up -d film_locations_client and access it at localhost:3000.
This starts a webpack hotreload server that connects to the backend running on localhost:5000.
So any changes to frontend or backend code will trigger a refresh and can be seen immediately.
