Ethermap
=========

Ethermap is a real-time collaborative map editor allowing:
* synchronization of geoobjects between all clients
* visual highlights of changes creating user-awareness
* watching other users or show their current workarea
* basic feature version control (browse older revisions and revert changes)
* communicating about specific features within the chat

[How does it work?](How_does_it_work.md) shortly explains the overall concept.

For a [demo](http://giv-wilhelm.uni-muenster.de) (desktop only), open the website with several browsers log into the same map id with different user names. Or check out the [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByRp-g3egLk).

The application has been built as part of my master thesis at the ifgi (Institute for Geoinformatics, WWU Münster).

### Technologies

* [node.js]
* [Leaflet] + [Leaflet.draw]
* [AngularJS]
* [socket.io]
* [CouchDB]
* [Grunt]
* [Bower]

### Install dependencies (Ubuntu)

It is assumed that you have installed node.js (developed using 0.10.26)
```
sudo apt-get install couchdb
npm install -g grunt-cli
npm install -g bower
npm install -g forever

```

### Run for Development

```
npm install
bower install
grunt serve

```

### Run for Production

```
npm install
bower install
grunt build
NODE_ENV=production forever -o out.log -e err.log start dist/server.js

```

##### or with Docker and fig

It may be necessary to rename the folder `Ethermap` to `ethermap` (note the lower case e), as Docker cannot create things with uppercase names.

```
sudo fig up
```
Ethermap will be available from http://localhost:8080

### Testing

Tests are based on Karma + Jasmine

For single test runs:
```
grunt test
```
For continuous testing:
```
npm install -g karma-cli
karma start
```

### Create the JSDoc pages

```
grunt docs
