# Justice 40 Score application

## Running using Docker

We use Docker to install the necessary libraries in a container that can be run in any operating system.

To build the docker container the first time, make sure you're in the root directory of the repository and run `docker-compose build`

Then run commands, opening a new terminal window or tab:

- Get help: `docker run --rm -it j40_score /bin/sh -c "python3 application.py" python3 application.py --help"`
- Clean up the data directories: `docker run --rm -it j40_score /bin/sh -c "python3 application.py data-cleanup"`
- Generate census data: `docker run --rm -it j40_score /bin/sh -c "python3 application.py census-data-download"`

## Log visualization

If you want to visualize logs, the following temporary workaround can be used:

- Run `docker-compose up` on the root of the repo
- Open a new tab on your terminal
- Then run any command for the application using this format: `docker exec j40_score_1 python3 application.py [command]`

## Local development

You can run the Python code locally to develop, using Poetry. However, to generate the census data you will need the [GDAL library](https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal) installed locally. Also to generate tiles for a local map, you will need [Mapbox tippeanoe](https://github.com/mapbox/tippecanoe)

- Start a terminal
- Make sure you have Python 3.9 installed: `python -V` or `python3 -V`
- We use [Poetry](https://python-poetry.org/) for managing dependencies and building the application. Please follow the instructions on their site to download.
- Install Poetry requirements with `poetry install`

### Downloading Census Block Groups GeoJSON and Generating CBG CSVs

- Make sure you have Docker running in your machine
- Start a terminal
- Change to this directory (i.e. `cd score`)
- If you want to clear out all data and tiles from all directories, you can run: `poetry run python application.py data-cleanup`.
- Then run `poetry run python application.py census-data-download`
  Note: Census files are not kept in the repository and the download directories are ignored by Git

### Generating mbtiles

- TBD

### Serve the map locally

- Start a terminal
- Change to this directory (i.e. `cd score`)
- Run: `docker run --rm -it -v ${PWD}/data/tiles:/data -p 8080:80 maptiler/tileserver-gl`

### Running Jupyter notebooks

- Start a terminal
- Change to this directory (i.e. `cd score`)
- Run `poetry run jupyter notebook`. Your browser should open with a Jupyter Notebook tab

### Activating variable-enabled Markdown for Jupyter notebooks

- Change to this directory (i.e. `cd score`)
- Activate a Poetry Shell (see above)
- Run `jupyter contrib nbextension install --user`
- Run `jupyter nbextension enable python-markdown/main`
- Make sure you've loaded the Jupyter notebook in a "Trusted" state. (See button near
  top right of Notebook screen.)

For more information, see [nbextensions docs](https://jupyter-contrib-nbextensions.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html) and
see [python-markdown docs](https://github.com/ipython-contrib/jupyter_contrib_nbextensions/tree/master/src/jupyter_contrib_nbextensions/nbextensions/python-markdown).

## Miscellaneous

- To export packages from Poetry to `requirements.txt` run `poetry export --without-hashes > requirements.txt`
