sensors.AFRICA is a citizen-science focused project by Code for Africa that seeks to address data gaps by providing low cost sensors, which people can use to measure and monitor the quality of the air, water, and sound in their communities.
Are you interested in working with us, using our data, or learning more about what we do? Please fill in this form and we'll get back to you ASAP.
The key goals for this site:
This project uses yarn as a dependancy. See the documentation to set it up on your machine.
Run the following command to get started
git clone https://github.com/CodeForAfrica/sensors.AFRICA.git
cd sensors.AFRICA
yarn
yarn devTo build the docker image, run:
docker build -t codeforafrica/sensors-africa-ui .And to run it:
docker run --expose 127.0.0.1:3000:3000/tcp codeforafrica/sensors-africa-uiThis project will be primarily using airbnb react and material-ui as our main style guides when implementing components.This is to create code consistency and readability.
