This README documents how to set up our travel recommender project.

• Quick summary

The travel recommender application allows a user to auto-generate a suitable set of tourist itineraries for a multi-day intra-city trip, depending on the user's preferences.

Change to the /backend folder and run ./run_main.sh on Mac/Linux or .\run_main.cmd on Windows.

To change the country, days to visit country and maximum visiting hours, please modify the inputs city, preferences, daysToVisit and timeConstraint.

1. city: Name of city you would like to visit, currently available options are ['tokyo', 'new-york-city', 'osaka', 'california', 'taipei', 'paris', 'london']
2. preferences: Set of preferences to include. Each preferences will add to score per location. To view available preferences, call viewPreferences function in Main class
3. daysToVisit: Number of days to visit city, will set cluster number for k-means
4. timeConstraint: Number of visiting hours per day. e.g if you put 8hrs, you have maximum of 8hrs of visiting hours per day.

Prerequisites for full-stack: Yarn and a working JDK (version 11 ). A Mapbox API key will have to be provided via Yarn. See Configuration for more details.

1. For the Spring Boot backend:

Change to the /backend folder and run the following commands. The backend will be deployed on port 8080 by default.

1. ./mvnw install or .\mvnw install on Windows.

2. ./mvnw spring-boot:run or .\mvnw spring-boot:run on Windows

2. For the Nuxt.js frontend:

Change to the /frontend folder and run the following commands. The frontend will be deployed on port 3000 by default.

1. yarn install

2. yarn dev

1. Change to the /backend folder and run the following command:
   ./mvnw spring-boot:build-image -Dspring-boot.build-image.imageName=cs201-backend-docker:latest
   or .\mvnw spring-boot:build-image -Dspring-boot.build-image.imageName=cs201-backend-docker:latest if on Windows.

2. Return to project directory root and run docker-compose up -d.

3. Run docker build if changes are made to the frontend, or redo Step 1 if changes are made to the backend.

The Nuxt.js frontend uses a .env file in order to set up its Mapbox API key and backend URL. The Mapbox API Key is mandatory and can be retrieved through https://docs.mapbox.com/help/how-mapbox-works/access-tokens/. Create an .env file with the key MAPBOX_API_KEY in order to use the frontend. The .env file also accepts a BACKEND_URL key which can be used to denote a custom backend URL if needed.

The backend does not require any configuration.
