team-time v1.0.5

Team Time

Team Time is an application inspired by timezone.io and everytimezone.com to allow you to see not only what time it is for your co-workers, but also their availability.

Not everyone works 9-5, Monday-Friday, so while knowing their local time is helpful, I also wanted to know if a team mate was even working that day.

Setup

Clone this repository and either add a people.json to the root, or set up a MongoDB instance.

people.json

If using the people.json use the following format:

[
  {
    "name": "Jeff",
    "avatar": "https://example.com/my-avatar.jpg",
    "city": "Christchurch",
    "tz": "Pacific/Auckland",
    "availability": {
      "monday": { "start": 8, "duration": 8.5 },
      "tuesday": { "start": 8, "duration": 8.5 },
      "wednesday": { "start": 8, "duration": 8.5 },
      "thursday": { "start": 8, "duration": 8.5 },
      "friday": { "start": 8, "duration": 8.5 }
    }
  }
]

MongoDB

Add a MongoDB add-on to your Heroku app and rename or copy the Mongo URI to an environment variable named MONGO_URI.

You can view/add/edit/delete people via the RESTful API at /people, e.g.:

curl -XPOST -H "Content-type: application/json" -d '{ ...JSON data... }' <my Heroku app URL>

Or if your MongoDB add-on supports it, via their web interface.

Deploy

This app is designed to deploy to Heroku. For now I've included the built js/css in the repo, so you can simply add your people.json, commit and push to Heroku.

heroku create
git push heroku master

Development

This is a Node app, so you'll need NodeJS. I've included Browserify etc in the dev dependencies, so you should be able to:

npm install
npm run build

Optionally, I've also included a Makefile and watch script with LiveReload.

./configure
make

And to run the app:

npm start

Or, again if you're using Make, I've added a watch script with Livereload. Requires fswatch

./watch

MongoDB

If you're developing with a local MongoDB instance simply include the MONGO_URI environment variable when you start the app:

MONGO_URI=mongodb://localhost/team-time npm start

Or, (I've added dotenv) create a new .env file and add it there.

echo "MONGO_URI=mongodb://localhost/team-time" > .env
