This repository contains the code powering the Anime 2018 volunteer portals. It contains a limited amount of backend logic for importing and normalizing data from external parties, as well as the frontend for both the client-side logic and the portal's visual interface.
While this portal has been written for the AnimeCon convention, other events are most welcome to adopt it for their needs. Pull requests to make this easier are welcomed.
You can easily get a development setup on Linux by using Docker.
To build the container, run docker build -t anime2017 docker.
After that, run one of the following commands:
- To run the services:
./bin/services - To run a test webserver:
./bin/serve - To run the linter:
./bin/lint - To run the testsuite:
./bin/test
By default, there is a base configuration for the "anime.test" environment.
To access this after starting the development setup via Docker, add a line 127.0.0.1 anime.test to the /etc/hosts file.
After having done this, you can access the running development webserver at http://anime.test:8080/ .
The backend is located in the /anime/ directory and has been written in PHP.
A large portion of the backend code exists to import data from third-party sources in a rather pendantic way, given that this has caused issues in the past, for which a Service Manager has been created in the /anime/Services/ directory.
A number of external dependencies will be pulled in using Composer. Be
sure to run composer install when starting to work with this repository, and composer update
every time you pull new changes.
You need to generate anime.js, for which Gulp is used. Install nodejs
and npm, and then run npm install. Afterwards, run npm run-script build to generate anime.js.
Create the following files, and make sure that they're readable by the current user, as well as the user that will be used for serving the application (e.g. apache).
- anime/Services/error.log
- anime/Services/state.json
- configuration/teams/
If you are running on a system that has SELinux set to enforcing, make sure you change the context
of anime/Services/error.log to httpd_sys_rw_content_t
(run chcon -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t anime/Services/error.log).
TODO: Document both backend and frontend deployment in this section.
Now try to reach $yourhost/anime.css. If that gives you a Not Found error, you need to enable htaccess overrides (set "AllowOverride FileInfo Options" in your apache config for the directory where you are deploying, or copy all of the .htaccess entries into the apache configuration).
Look in anime/Services/Import{Program,Schedule,Team}Service.php to see how the various services import the data formats. Then move configuration/configuration.json-example to configuration/configuration.json and edit the email address and configure the Services you want to use for importing your schedule and other configuration.
TODO: Write some more explanation about importing the configuration.
