help.vaccinateca.com is the home for internal webapps. Today, that consists of Scooby and Velma.
Scooby is the web frontend for phone banking and web banking. Scooby requests calls from VIAL, displays a script of questions callers use to ask sites about vaccines, and then submits the results back to VIAL. This document is a human readable mapping of script answers to VIAL details.
Velma is the web frontend for manually matching and merging vaccination locations in VIAL.
For matching, Velma randomly picks unmatched source locations, but can be passed query parameters to be more targeted.
source_q=<name>to search locations by name.source_state=<state_code>to search locations by state code such asCAsource_name=<source_name>to search locations by source_name, e.g.vaccinespotter_org.
For merging, Velma pulls tasks from the VIAL merge queue, but can be passed query parameters to be more targeted.
task_q=<name>to search tasks by location name.task_state=<state_code>to search tasks by state code such asCA
Report bugs and feature requests using Github Issues
We use GitHub Issues to track potential work. Please add to this list, whether you are proposing a new feature, reporting a bug, or even raising a subject requiring discussion by opening a new issue.
The linter - Prettier - runs on every PR
automatically. If you'd like to run it locally, run npm install once
to set up npm and then npm run lint:fix to run the linter.
You can build and run the app locally via ./script/server. Local
development works against staging VIAL, so it's safe to try out new
things without worrying about writing to production.
If you want to test the app against a local API instance, you can set
the CUSTOM_API_TARGET environment variable: export CUSTOM_API_TARGET=http://0.0.0.0:3000/api && script/server
Alternatively, you can run the app via docker, which ensures a clean
environment: ./script/docker-server
