# Keg Maintenance Screen

![](pics/keg-monitor.jpg)

This little application is made from two projects:

- `keg-server`: An express.js server that manages the state of the current beers

  and monitors temperature

- `keg-client`: A React application that displays the current beers and allows

  an admin to manage them

## Getting started

1. Clone this repo

1. run `npm install` in `keg-server`

1. run `npm install` in `keg-client`

### Developing the server

Inside of the `keg-server` folder, run `npm run watch`. This will watch the

directory for changes, recompile the typescript, and restart the express serer

when anything changes. (Note: You may need to start the server from an

elevated command prompt to avoid write permission issues.)

The routes are listed in `app.ts`.

Persistance uses `nedb` for a lightweight json-based database. Methods that

interact with the database should go in the appropriate repository inside the

`persistance` folder.

On windows, a `FakeTemperatureMonitor` is configured to emit bogus temperatures

randomly. Otherwise, a `Ds18b20TemperatureMonitor` is configured to read

temperatures from the device file. If you are developing on a Mac this may be an

issue as it will identify your machine as linux and assume it can find the

device file. A bug is in the tracker.

### Developing the client

Inside of `keg-client` run `npm start` to start the Create React App based run

time. It will monitor for file changes and reload the page.

It assumes the keg-server is running. Follow the steps above to start the server.

Currently porting to React hooks.

# Deploying

## Production Builds

In `keg-client`:

```bash

$ npm run build

$ npm run copy

```

This will compile the front end application and copy the assets to the public folder

of the server

In `keg-server`:

```bash

$ npm run build-ts

```

This will compile the application into the `dist` folder.

Copy the dist folder contents and the public folder to the pi: `~/keg`

## Starting the Pi

1. ssh to pi

2. run `~/clear-chrome-cache.sh`

3. Open screen

4. In one tab: `npm run start-prod` in `~/keg`

5. In one tab: `startx`

6. Disconnect and leave screen running
