  "databaseAddress": "mongodb+srv://username:[email protected]/spotted",
  "databaseName": "spotted"
}

Database

You also need to configure an instance of MongoDB for the app.
You need to create a database, specify its name in the config.json file and create new empty collection named data inside it.

Free MongoDB instance

For this lightweight application, you can use the free database instance available on cloud.mongodb.com

locales

As of today only Polish and English have their locales, feel free to add yours, by creating a key with its name inside /src/locales.json file.

Building

To build the React app you need to run yarn build

Deployment

The app can be served with a wsgi server, it should be served using wsgi.py as a handle.
An example command for gunicorn:

gunicorn wsgi:app

Heroku

There is a Procfile included for easy heroku deployment.
You also need to add two buildpacks for the app to build correctly.

  • heroku/nodejs
  • heroku/python
