RideAlong : Cycle Together

Description

This project's goal is to create a platform where people can make bicycle reservations and specify meetup dates to ride bicycles in groups.

Instructions

First of all, clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/Ignema/RideAlong.git

Running the code locally from source

There are three things that need to be running in order to execute the whole application.

• Postgres Database (Make sure you edit application.properties with the right credentials so that the backend can detect your database)

• JDK 11 (An IDE like intellij or eclipse will do the work automatically for you)

    # Windows
    gradlew bootRun
    # Linux
    ./gradlew bootRun
  

• Node and npm

    npm install
    npm run dev
  

Running the project with containers

If you want to run the containers seperately then you can pull them independently like so

# Frontend
docker pull docker.pkg.github.com/ignema/ridealong/frontend:1.0

# Backend
docker pull docker.pkg.github.com/ignema/ridealong/backend:1.0

# Don't forget to run a postgres container as well!!!

If you want to run the cluster at once, you can simply run this command

docker-compose -p ridealong up

The Mission of RideAlong

This project's aim is to create a tool for cyclists to make their hobbies easier and more engaging. 
We noticed that in our local community, people were using the mobile application WhatsApp to schedule
their meetups. This solution is acceptable in its own right, but we envisioned a better solution to
help them avoid the many problems that they were facing.

When using a regular group, there was a risk of not synchronizing in the time of meetings. This would
lead to some people unable to join because the group has already departured. With our application, by using
a postgres database, a springboot backend, and a svelte UI, we can organize the way people meet up and
help them ensure that nobody is left behind.

Furthermore, this application will enable the creation of many communities at once and make the process of
joining them more open and available. This is a far better solution than creating dozens of WhatsApp groups.

We also thought of people who don't have a bicycle to participate. Our application offers the possibility of
renting bicycles from the community for the community.

We really hope that you like our work, and a special thanks to our supervisor Mr. Mahmoud Hamlaoui.
