simulator-ng

What's that?

This a POC app for Project Chronos Platform.

This is a Python3 Tornado Web-server to run sockjs with sockjs-tornado.
The data is fetched from Chronos cloudService at http://spacexplore.it.
The app is the Angular-js one in /static/app.

To Do

*Improve Errors display to users (now it is done with alert())
*Write a brief tutorial
*Write hints for hovers
*Limit possible choices in bus and payloads (3/4)
*Implement loaders
*Implement promises
*Write utilities' functions to handle controllers' common tasks
*Fix the pages navigation system (pages should keep selections)
*Have all DOM manipulations into directives
*Implement JSON-RPC spec for client-server communications
*Refactor socket wrapper
*Solve the double-binding for checkboxes groups in Payloads and Bus controllers
*Better Details visualization in Results' Page

Notes: $routeProvider > resolve can be found in $route.current.locals
Use $scope.bind('') in directives to trigger events

Installation

You need npm and bower to install client-side libraries and tests, and angularjs itself. python3-devel libray needs to be installed in your system

To run the server locally:

• Install MongoDB by following the installation instructions at official website

• Create a virtual environment: pyvenv-3.3 {/path/to/your/venv}

• Activate your venv: source {/path/to/your/venv}/bin/activate

• Install dependencies into the venv:

    easy_install pip
    pip install -r requirements.txt
  

• Clone repository: git clone https://github.com/SpaceAppsXploration/simulator-ng

    cd simulator-ng/static
    npm install
    bower install
  

• Start local MongoDB instance

    mongod
  

• Create a fake user by running appdata/starter.py

    python3.3 starter.py
  

• Start local server, in simulator-ng directory:

    nohup python3.3 astroloop.py &
  

Check if working: go to localhost:8080 in your browser
