Session planner

A progressive web app to manage the sessions of an (un)conference.

This web app can display the sessions of an (un)conference, notify users of updates regarding sessions they liked and tell them when a session they are interested in is about to start.

This app was written at Method Park for the Software Engineering Camp.

See it in action: https://sessions.swe.camp.

Setup

This project requires Node 10 or later. To build a docker image or run the docker image you need docker as well.

Clone the repository and install the dependencies with

npm ci
npm run generate-notification-keys

Then start the webpack dev server with

npm start

or (if you prefer having frontend and backend running in separate shells):

npm run start:server
npm run start:frontend

The sessions are stored in sessionsData.json in the root directory.

Build and run a docker image

To build a docker image use the Dockerfile in the project root:

docker build -t swecapp .
docker run -p 3000:8080 -v /path/to/data:/data --name swec swecapp

The docker image expects some configuration files in a volume:

• the sessions data (sessionsData.json)
• public/private key pair for the push notifications (vapid-keys.*)
• metadata about the push subscriptions (subscriptions.json)
