Earth Information Center Mobile Concept Application

The Earth Information Center Mobile application concept is a custom application that uses NASA SVS videos for visualization and image services for analysis. By tying the visualizations to the underlying data in a custom application, NASA Earth data becomes more accessible and easier to understand for the public. The application provides the most up-to-date information as the underlying services are updated by dynamically reading the configured video and image services. And finally, this application offers a mobile-first experience, allowing anyone to explore the application in its entirety from their mobile device

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system. Before deploying outside of testing, you will want to configure the config.json file to point the application to the proper video and image service endpoints.

Prerequisites

What things you need to install the software and how to install them

Installing

Clone the GitHub Repo

git clone https://github.com/cwaltsgeo/EIC-Mobile.git

Navigate to the EIC-Mobile project folder

cd EIC-Mobile

Install the EIC-Mobile project dependencies

npm install

Test in dev mode

npm run dev

Configuration

The config.json file is a vital metadata file that points the application to the proper video and image service endpoints. For the application to run properly, it’s important to configure the file according to the following parameters.

Property Data Type Description
name string Layer Name
description string Layer Description
unit string Unit of Measurement
video string Video Service endpoint
service string Image Service REST endpoint
wcs boolean Value determines if service is or is not OGC WCS
wcsParams dict A dictionary of required parameters to request an OGC WCS service
active boolean Value determines what layer is or is not visible
vitals dict A dictionary of summary statistics from the Image Service
tour list A list of stops for the layer's Guided Tour

Deployment

In order to deploy this application to a live system, you'll need to first establish the following architecture:

Configure config.json with the proper metadata and service endpoints

vi ./src/config.json

Build the project dist folder

npm run build

Upload the project dist folder to AWS S3

aws s3 sync ./dist s3://<your-bucket-name>/
