A project for the 2021 Sustainable Communities Web Challenge. Generates Environmental Footprint "Nutrition Labels" for communities in the USA.

The CI process publishes new builds to: https://zctaimpacts.abrie.dev

You are able to visit the live site for a UI, or query it using the API:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"statefp":17,"countyfp":31}' https://localhost:5000/query/county/impacts

There are two options: Docker, or from source. Both options require API keys and a local copy of the database.

The finished database is about 220 megabytes, and must be built from scratch. A utility script is provided:

1. cd backend/utils
2. Execute ./build.sh
3. Copy the resulting file out/db.spatialite file to backend/instance

The app queries the Census.gov API for County Business Patterns information. This app needs an API key do that.

1. Get one here.
2. Copy backend/secrets.json to backend/instance and your your API key to it.

1. docker run -v{/full/path/to/instance/folder}:/backend/instance abriedev/zctaimpacts will serve on port 80.

1. Install backend dependencies: cd backend && python -m pip install --upgrade pip
2. Start the backend: cd backend && make serve
3. Install frontend dependencies: yarn
4. Start the frontend: cd frontend && yarn start
5. Access the site through https://localhost:3000
