Developing locally

Make sure you have Docker installed first.

First install the npm packages:

npm install --also=dev

Start up the drawserver, which draws all of the emblems:

./scripts/draw-server.sh

Then, start the development server and open http://localhost:8080:

npm start

Gather image assets

Make sure you have Docker and Pipenv installed first.

First install the pipenv and node packages:

npm install --dev && pipenv install --dev

These are already part of the repository, but if you want to refresh the assets, run the following commands:

./scripts/splash-server.sh

Then, in a separate terminal:

./scripts/scraper.sh && ./scripts/word-renderer.js

splash-server.sh runs a Docker instance of Splash to run the Javascript on webpages visited by the scraper.
