A live version of the tool is available at writefield.nextzen.org.

This repository has four core parts:

• place/: Business logic for the Flask-based web editor for Who's On First place gazetteer record properties with a Leaflet-based map viewer for assorted geometries.
• templates/: Presentation logic using HTML templates for each web view, for the Flask app.
• auth/: User account authentication is via Github to propose a Pull Request with the changes for human review by the Who's On First community.
• exportify/: Bundled Python-based tools to validate changes and export as custom formatted Who's On First GeoJSON records that enable quick multi-line property diffs and single-line geometry diffs.

1. Clone this repository.

git clone git@github.com:iandees/wof-editor.git

And move into that checkout:

cd wof-editor

2. Install dependencies:

Install pyenv to make sure Pipenv has access to the right version of Python:

brew install pyenv

Then also install pipenv for dependency management:

brew install pipenv

3. Configure your Python environment:

pipenv install --dev

CAUTION: This step may complain about not having the required version of Python (3.11) and ask if you want to install it. Say yes. That'll take a while. You might get hung up on geos/shapely here, depending on which version of gdal you have installed.

Then setup pipenv to get into the Python virtual environment you just created with those dependencies:

pipenv shell

4. Run the Flask app locally (dev):

FLASK_DEBUG=true FLASK_APP=service_wsgi.py flask run

The web app can be loaded in a web browser at:

• http://127.0.0.1:5000/

If you're testing the Github user auth functionality, you can also run the Flask app with custom configs, like:

GITHUB_APP_ID=sample_app_id GITHUB_APP_SECRET=sample_app_secret FLASK_DEBUG=true FLASK_APP=service_wsgi.py flask run

5. Production deploy

Uses serverless system and assumes access to organization secrets and AWS account access (for project admins only).

Create a file config.prod.yaml (reference config.sample.yaml), with contents like:

GITHUB_APP_ID: "sample_app_id"
GITHUB_APP_SECRET: "sample_app_secret"
SECRET_KEY: "sample_secret_key"
STRIP_STAGE_PATH: "true"

NOTE: Swap out "sample" values above with "secret" values.

Then run the app:

serverless deploy --stage="prod"

View logs:

serverless logs --stage="prod" --function="app" --tail
