datasets-client A set of utils for handling api datasets
dataviews-client A set of utils for merge, combine and consume api dataviews into the apps
deck-layer-composer Map integration of the deck-layers
deck-layers Deck classes for GFW layers
deck-loaders Deck loaders for GFW layers
fourwings-aggregate Logic to turn fourwings tiles or cells into meaningful values for the frontend
i18n-labels GFW shared translations
layer-composer Orchestrates various Layer Generators to generate a Mapbox GL Style document
ocean-areas Small library to get ocean area / eez names by viewport or by text search
pbf-decoders PBF custom responses parsers
react-hooks Set of hooks to use libraries easily in react
timebar Timebar component, not many more to say
ui-components Reusable atoms components kit

Applications

api-portal Api documentation portal
data-download-portal The place to download datasets
fishing-map-e2e Cypress e2e testing for the map
fishing-map Version 3.0 of the fishing map project
image-labeler Labeling tool for satellite images
port-labeler Labeling tool for ports
user-groups-admin Tool to manage user groups with ease
vessel-history Vessel history app

To create a new application using a template with sidebar + map + timebar just run:

nx workspace-generator app [your-name]
nx start [your-name]

Other utils

config Shared generic build config as tsconfig, rollup or postcss
linting Define eslint prettier and stylelint configurations

MapLibre GL fork

We maintain our own forks of Mapbox GL to handle gridded temporal data (see temporalgrid branches on both repos)

LayerComposer / Dataviews / Workspaces

See: From WebGL triangles to Dataviews - Organizing visualization of data at GFW

Dependencies

The repo is using yarn workspaces so npm is not suported yet, to install yarn follow this instructions

Install a new dependency

For all packages:

yarn add [package] -W

Only for a specific package

cd apps/[you-app]
yarn add [package]

Installation

To install all packages dependencies just run:

yarn

Developmment

Nx handles every app or library by its own project.json file, see for example fishing-map:

nx start [app-name]

To ensure git flow process, master branch will be protected to force opening PR to every change desired. For now, the only one strong recommendation is to tag every PR to prepare the changelog automatically.

Building

To test all packages builds process run, useful to test everything works well before publishing.

nx build [app-name] --parallel

Publishing

TODO

API DOCS

https://gateway.api.dev.globalfishingwatch.org/swagger#/

Docker Compose

To replicate the prod environment where the apps run on a path (not the root) and with https we use a nginx proxy that runs on SSL and maps all the incoming request to its corresponding app.

Setup

  1. Generate the ssl certificates:
./generate-certificate.sh
  1. Set the proper environment variables to build each app, lookt at the build.env.sample file for reference:
cp apps/fishing-map/.build.env.sample apps/fishing-map/.build.env
# Edit apps/fishing-map/.build.env and save your changes
cp apps/vessel-history/.build.env.sample apps/vessel-history/.build.env
# Edit apps/vessel-history/.build.env and save your changes
cp apps/api-portal/.build.env.sample apps/api-portal/.build.env
# Edit apps/api-portal/.build.env and save your changes
cp apps/fourwings-explorer/.build.env.sample apps/fourwings-explorer/.build.env
# Edit apps/fourwings-explorer/.build.env and save your changes
  1. Build the apps:
npx env-cmd -f apps/fishing-map/.build.env nx build fishing-map --parallel
npx env-cmd -f apps/vessel-history/.build.env nx build vessel-history --parallel
npx env-cmd -f apps/api-portal/.build.env nx build api-portal --parallel
npx env-cmd -f apps/fourwings-explorer/.build.env nx build fourwings-explorer --parallel
nx run-many --target=docker-prepare --all
  1. Spin up docker compose:
docker-compose up -d
  1. Navigate to https://localhost/map and/or https://localhost/vessel-viewer. Note that if you want to develop/test the progressive web app (offline mode) you'll have to start Chrome with specific flags to omit the SSL self signed certificate error:

Osx

/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome   --user-data-dir=/tmp/foo --ignore-certificate-errors --unsafely-treat-insecure-origin-as-secure=https://localhost

Windows

chrome.exe --user-data-dir=/tmp/foo --ignore-certificate-errors --unsafely-treat-insecure-origin-as-secure=https://localhost/

Pending: Add https://localhost (or a more meaningful hostname) to the list of redirectUrls in the GFW application

Generating release notes for github releases

To generate the release notes you can run nx release changelog [version] -i all -p [project] --from @globalfishingwatchapp/[app]@[prev-tag] --tagVersionPrefix @globalfishingwatchapp/[app] --dry-run.
