This repository provides some notebooks to analyze the Apple Health App data export dump as well as visualizations.

Add the exported dump (see here for information), usally named export.zip, into the directory data/raw/export.zip. The AppleHealthParser is able to unzip and parse it.

Install the package as shown in the installation section. Or simply use:

pip install health-tracking

In order to set up the necessary environment:

1. create an environment health-tracking with the help of conda,

   conda env create -f environment.yaml
   

2. activate the new environment with

   conda activate health-tracking
   

3. install health-tracking with:

   python setup.py install # or `develop`
   

Optional and needed only once after git clone:

4. install several pre-commit git hooks with:

   pre-commit install
   

   and checkout the configuration under .pre-commit-config.yaml. The -n, --no-verify flag of git commit can be used to deactivate pre-commit hooks temporarily.

5. install nbstripout git hooks to remove the output cells of committed notebooks with:

   nbstripout --install --attributes notebooks/.gitattributes
   

   This is useful to avoid large diffs due to plots in your notebooks. A simple nbstripout --uninstall will revert these changes.

Then take a look into the scripts and notebooks folders.

1. Always keep your abstract (unpinned) dependencies updated in environment.yaml and eventually in setup.cfg if you want to ship and install your package via pip later on.
2. Create concrete dependencies as environment.lock.yaml for the exact reproduction of your environment with:

   conda env export -n health-tracking -f environment.lock.yaml
   

   For multi-OS development, consider using --no-builds during the export.
3. Update your current environment with respect to a new environment.lock.yaml using:

   conda env update -f environment.lock.yaml --prune
