# Church Calendar API

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/igneus/church-calendar-api.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/igneus/church-calendar-api)

Browse Roman Catholic liturgical calendar through a web interface
or obtain it's data in JSON format through an API.

Powered by
[calendarium-romanum][caro] and
grape.

## Explore it on-line

Church Calendar API is a more or less RESTful read-only JSON API.

API documentation with URI examples and live links to API endpoints:
http://calapi.inadiutorium.cz/api-doc

## Running locally

1. install dependencies using Bundler
`$ bundle install`
2. start application by `$ rackup`

## Running your own instance on Heroku

The application works as is, you only need to create a new application
in your Heroku dashboard and push the code.

Typical reasons for running your own instance include:

- availability/reliability requirements
(the [reference instance][calapi] is self-hosted by the author
and only maintained as free time permits;
it may be terminated at any time)
- very high traffic expected
- custom calendar data that cannot be released as open-source
(e.g. because it is copyrighted by the diocese)
- required control over data and algorithm updates
(the reference instance is updated without prior notice)

## Running with Docker

This repository includes a `dockerfile` and a `docker-compose.yml`. You can run your own instance by running the following command from inside this folder:

`$ docker-compose up -d --build`

## Running specs

`$ rake test`

## Adding custom data

In order to add a new calendar:

1. put it's data file(s) in the `data` directory
2. create a new record in `config/calendars.yml`
