mukundbhudia/covid-service

Service that obtains and structures Johns Hopkins CSSE data on COVID-19.

covid-service

NOTE: This project has now been archived. It has been re-written in Rust and replaced by https://github.com/mukundbhudia/covid-service-rs.

Collects, processes and aggregates live COVID-19, and historical time series data from Johns Hopkins University. The aggregated data is then used to populate a mongoDB database which supplies data to https://github.com/mukundbhudia/covid-api and subsequently https://github.com/mukundbhudia/covid-web.

Pre-requisites

• NodeJs - see: https://nodejs.org/en/download/ for install instructions for your platform
• mongoDB - see: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/installation/ for install instructions for your platform

Running the project

• By default a connection to 'mongodb://localhost:27017' is made to the local mongoDB.
• Create a .env file with mongo URI for the MONGO_URI enviroment variable if you wish to connect to a different mongo database.
• Run npm start in the project directory.

Resources & Thanks

• To Johns Hopkins CSSE for the hard work providing and collating the data.
