Baltimore Re-entry Program

This project is a combination of Strapi.js Headless CMS and some python scripts for ingesting relevant data.

System Dependencies

• Node.JS - Latest 10.x release. I reccomend using nvm to install node so you can easily switch between versions of node.
• Yarn Package Manager - A fast javascript package manager
• Strapi.js - A headless CMS and admin console for managing content
• Python 3.7.4
• pipenv
• Docker
• Docker Compose

Local Development Startup

1. Once all system dependencies are installed you must startup mongodb as the database backing Strapi. We use docker compose to start it inside a container.

$ docker-compose up

2. Now we can startup strapi admin console and API's. We do this in watch mode so that changes automatically hot reload.

$ strapi develop

3. You can now go to the Strapi Admin console in you browser at http://localhost:1337/admin
4. You will need to create an admin user if it is you first time using that environment
5. Check out the auto-generated Swagger/OpenAPI documentation and play around with the API by going to http://localhost:1337/documentation/v1.0.0

Ingesting Sample Data

1. Install python library dependencies

$ pipenv sync

1. Spawn a virtualenv python shell

$ pipenv shell

3. Copy the .env.example file to .env so that the environment variables are set

$ cp ./env.example .env

4. Run the ingestion script to populate a few hundred samples resources

$ python ./ingest/scripts/ingest_resources_csv.py
