README file for 60.004 Service Design Studio: Team CloudOnRails (Team 4)

SUTD 60.004 Service Design Studio Project with Home Team Science and Technology Agency (HTX), mentored by Google Cloud Platform Mentors

Application description: Home Team Officers are unfamiliar with sign language and are unable to communicate with the deaf who are speech impaired. This language barrier hinders the officers’ ability to communicate and serve the deaf public effectively. This web application aims to solve that using computer vision. Some additional features are added as well. More information at: https://sites.google.com/sutd.edu.sg/team4-cloudonrails/home

Summary of features:

• Automatic sign language transcription for 8 signs
• Type to ask deaf
• Chat history
• Cover and tutorial page

Let's begin the magic! ;)

YOU MUST RUN THE BACKEND CODE B4 FRONTEND FOR MAGIC TO WORK

To run the backend server

To run the server you first need to start the db which was deployed on glcoud, however, you will need the access to it.

To setup database gcp to use on local
Go here: https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/postgres/sql-proxy#linux-64-bit and install cloud sql proxy for your machine respectively
Then, run this on a terminal: cloud_sql_proxy -instances=sign-ai:asia-southeast1:sign-ai-db=tcp:5432
Now,start the backend server normally and magic should happen

To start the backend server

cd backend
bundle install && bin/rails server
the backend server will be started on localhost:8000

Ruby version error

Just change the gemfile to the version you used

To run the frontend side

cd frontend/sign-ai && npm install
npm start
the frontend side will be started on localhost:3000

To run the cucumber test cases

cd frontend/sign-ai && npm test

If it fails, run the second time. Make sure you run npm install after you do a pull
