BBData Admin Webapp

This is a simple Angular 1 webapp built upon the BBData API. It lets admins manage their user groups, objects and object groups using a simple web interface.

Prerequisites

• NodeJS (tested using node 12.10.0)
• npm (tested using npm 6.11.3)
• an instance of the BBData API running somewhere

Install

# clone 
git clone git@github.com:big-building-data/bbdata-admin-webapp.git
cd bbdata-admin-webapp

# install dependencies using NPM
npm install

Run

To run the webapp, you need to pass the address of the BBData API you want to connect to. For this:

• either pass it as the first argument
• or set the environment variable API_URL

You can either use node or npm to start the server.

Using the commandline argument:

# using node:
node server.js http://localhost:8080
# using npm:
npm start -- http://localhost:8080

Using the environment variable:

# set the API URL
export API_URL=http://localhost:8080

# using node:
node server.js 
# using npm:
npm start -- http://localhost:8080

Finally, to run inside a screen session (useful when deployed on a server):

screen -dmS webapp node server.js $API_URL
