Concept

The TUMi app is meant to improve the day to day business of an ESN section by automating all steps that take time when organising and running events. Additionally, it aims to give the section greater insight to what's going on.
Currently the app is made to support the processes inside the TUMi ESN section which operates in a decentralised and lean way. But it can support other modes of operation as well, just reach out.

Feature list

• Events (learn more in the Event creation process)
  • Template library: A place with templates for every event that the section has organised. Making it easy for members to find inspiration and organise something new.
  • Event list: The main public part of the app is the event list that shows all planned events in list and calendar form, students and members can always see what's up here.
  • Registration: The app can handle the entire registration process for events, this includes collecting money or additional information from every users.
  • Event Organisation: The section members are supported with users lists and collection of Email addresses to easily prepare the event and reach all participants.
  • Check in: At the event, every user can present a QR code that verifies their registration to the section member and also captures that the user attended the event.
  • Feedback: After every event the users are asked to provide feedback automatically that helps improve future events.

  • Even support advanced use cases such as cash payment at an event or unforeseen costs.
• Social features
  • The app should become more social, allowing the students to build a profile.
  • People should be able to connect with others they met at events.
• Add more advanced signup methods such as waitlists or random spot assignments
• Customisation
  • Make the app easily configurable for other sections to fit their needs.

Run Locally

Make sure you have node installed, a good option is volta: https://volta.sh/
Install it to handle your node installation. The package.json includes the node version that should be used and volta will automatically install it.

Clone the project

  git clone https://github.com/heddendorp/section-app-client.git

Go to the project directory

  cd section-app-client

Install dependencies

  yarn install

Without local server (for frontend only)

This uses the server running on server.esn.world which is also used by the live version.

  yarn dev:light

Since the loccalhost is mapped to TUMi by default, you can set your tenant in the local storage. Open your browsers devtools and run the following command in the console:

localStorage.setItem('tenantId', '<your ID>');

Your tenant id is the first part of your section's domain, e.g. tumi.esn.world has the tenant id tumi.

Documentation

Relevant documentation for this project is listed below to give you a starting point.

• Angular docs
• Angular material docs
  For things like the formfields and some buttons, this is the UI library. It would be nice to move further to Tailwind and reduce reliance on this library.
• Apollo Angular
  For data loading and most server communication.
• TailwindCSS
  For general styling in the app instead of custom CSS.
