This is just a small sample app deployed to the Google Cloud App Engine. It uses the GC Datastore (NoSQL) Database, and integrates OAuth2 login to Google.

Installing this app locally

This app is currently hosted here, but if you did wish to run this app locally there is some setup involved.

You will need a google cloud account, and install the gcloud sdk.
Then create an empty project and create an empty datastore.
From your app folder root, run the following command to obtain authorization:

gcloud auth application-default login

In the app directory, create a config.json file with this content:

{
  "OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID": [YOUR_CLIENT_ID],
  "OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET": [YOUR_SECRET],
  "OAUTH2_CALLBACK": "http://localhost:8080/auth/google/callback",
  "GCLOUD_PROJECT": "[YOUR_PROJECT_ID]",
  "DATA_BACKEND": "datastore",
  "CLOUD_BUCKET": [YOUR_BUCKET_NAME]
}

// the above is for running locally, if you run it from the app engine change the following:
  "OAUTH2_CALLBACK": "https://[YOUR_PROJECT_ID].appspot.com/auth/google/callback",

Set up the OAuth2 credentials and bucket on your google cloud account, replacing the placeholders with your information.

Finally, you should be ready to run :

npm install
npm start

Your app should be running at http://localhost:8080

If you wish to use a different port for local testing, edit the following entries in the config.js file:

    OAUTH2_CALLBACK: 'http://localhost:8080/auth/google/callback',

    PORT: 8080,

Uploading the data to the datastore

in the app.js file there is a variable

let upload = false;//set to true to run the upload method for the json data

It is set to false by default. If you wish to do a one time upload of the json data, make it true.

Note: this upload assumed the graphics are uploaded to your bucket.
