Teikei is a web application and API that maps out community-supported agriculture in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, based on crowdsourced data.

It is used by

• Ernte teilen
• Kooperationsstelle für solidarische Landwirtschaft
• Netzwerk für solidarische Landwirtschaft

The repository is a monorepo consisting of 3 modules:

Teikei API is a Node application written with Feathers using Express as a server. It exposes a JSON REST API, data is stored in PostgreSQL. It also includes a job queue built with node-schedule.

Teikei Map is a Single Page Application built with React and Redux. It was generated with the default create-react-app with added Sass support. Uses leaflet to display the map, feathers-client to connect to the API backend, joi for validation, superagent as a REST client.

Teikei Admin allows content moderators and administrators to update and manage stored data. It connects to the same Teikei API backend application as the frontend module, but through separate Admin API endpoints. It's built with crudl.io, an open-source admin dashboard.

The monorepo makes use of npm workspaces and lerna and provides top-level scripts to run a complete Teikei application stack with a single command and to conveniently work with all 3 modules from a single repository.

Teikei requires node >= 18, npm and PostgreSQL >= 9.5.

Clone the repository and install dependencies

git clone https://github.com/teikei/teikei
cd teikei
npm install

You need to create an .env file in the root directory which contains the environment variables needed to run the project. The included .env.sample file lists the variables which need to be set.

Development mode will run the database in a Docker container and populate is with new test data on each run. Make sure you have Docker installed and running on your machine before starting the development server.

• To start the map application in development mode run npm run dev
• The map frontend will be started at http://localhost:3000. The frontend express server runs on port 3000 and will proxy request to the API server on port 3030.
• The API server will run on http://localhost:3030

• To start the admin application in development mode run npm run dev-admin
• The admin frontend will be started at http://localhost:4000. The frontend express server runs on port 3000 and will proxy request to the API server on port 3030.
• The API server will run on http://localhost:3030

• Build the project for production with npm run buildeither in the root directory to build all modules or individually in module subfolders. The build output will be copied to the /build folders of modules.

• To create initial data, run npm run seed:run inside the /api folder
• The command will create the following test users

This step will be performed automatically if you start a development server with npm run dev or npm run dev-admin.

We use Github to plan upcoming features and track bugs. If you want to participate, it's probably a good idea to look for open issues there. Before working on bigger features, however, it's advisable to get in contact with us, so that we can coordinate tasks and features.

Bugs, Issues and Feature requests can be added as issues here on Github. Please provide as much information as possible, including steps to reproduce the issue.
