La Fabrique de la Loi / The Law Factory

Web frontend developed for The Law Factory project: http://www.LaFabriqueDeLaLoi.fr

Data backend API code is available on repository https://github.com/RegardsCitoyens/the-law-factory-parser

Installation

• Checkout the project from git:

    git clone https://github.com/regardscitoyens/the-law-factory.git
    cd the-law-factory
  

• Configure the aplication by copying public/config.js.example as public/config.js and set the API Url to the path on which you serve the data directory of RegardsCitoyens:the-law-factory-parser.git. Optionnally set also there your google analytics id and host.

    cp public/config.js{.example,}
    vi public/config.js
  

• Serve the public directory on a webserver

• for instance, to run locally on http://localhost:8001

  cd public
  python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8001

Production setup

A sample Apache configuration is given in the conf directory.

To reduce browser request counts per page, you may build a production version that uses concatenated versions of scripts and stylesheets by running make and make install from the repository root. In this case you will want to serve the prod directory instead.

Notes:

• if you haven't created public/config.js yet, it will be copied from public/config.js.example
• you have to run make and make install again if you make any changes to the public/config.js file
• you may run make clean to return the tree to its original, fresh-from-git-repository state, but leaves the prod directory.
