howdy's Introduction

HOWDY

This is designed as a really basic all-in-one view of today. It could be used in classrooms, or in care homes. It may also be useful as a quick view from a users device homescreen. It's early days, but hopefully it'll be useful for someone.

To set up for development

  1. Download the repo
  2. Run composer install

Bonus, if you want to use homestead/vagrant to set up your development environment you can also run:

  1. Run php vendor/bin/homestead make (see https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/homestead)
  2. Run vagrant up

You'll also need to run npm on the vagrant box, so:

  1. Run vagrant ssh to connect to the vagrant box
  2. cd to the project directory, e.g. cd /home/vagrant/code
  3. run npm install
  4. run npm run watch to watch the files for changes and rebuild the output

You should be up and running ๐Ÿ‘

Once you've done all the setup, you can restart npm when you bring the vagrant box up by running:

cd /home/vagrant/code && npm run watch

Roadmap

  1. Add more cards e.g. #2
  2. Add flex view to put the cards side by side on suitable displays
  3. Add login, to provide the ability to select/deselect cards depending on requirements
  4. Enable configuring colours
  5. Make it a PWA so it can live as an icon on the homescreen

howdy's Issues

Add card for local weather

Using browser location, fetch and display basic weather using an icon.

E.g. Sunny, cloudy, rainy, snowy, windy

Project to learn Laravel doesn't use Laravel

Part of the purpose of this project was to help me learn Laravel, but the initial version is building the cards in JavaScript. ๐Ÿคฆ

First job needs to be to get the existing cards into Laravel. A card should be built from a view partial.

In the future it might be worthwhile to have a route per card, so that they can be refreshed using AJAX on always-on displays, so the controller ought to reflect that.

Improve layout to make it more responsive

Currently there is a single column of cards which fit well on mobile and desktop screens, but it would be good to use flexbox to enable more cards to fit side-by-side on larger screens.

Add Login and user management

As a user I want to select which cards I see, so I need to be able to login to select from available cards.

A user needs:

  • User registration
  • Login
  • Password reset
  • User settings

Add configurable colours

As a user I want to pick my own colours for the cards that are displayed.

When I log in I should be able to edit the colours for each card.
