GATool

gatool is a tool to provide FIRST® Game Announcers with up to date information while announcing events during the FIRST Robotics season. As a web-based tool, it uses up-to-date information about the event to provide a comprehensive set of useful data to Game Announcers. It is designed to work on desktops, laptops and tablet devices. In a pinch, it can be used on a mobile phone.

You will need a login to access the tool. All registered GAs and MCs will receive an invitation with a login and password.

Development

This section has information on how to build and deploy the project.

Building

GATool is built using create-react-app. To get started, run:

git clone git@github.com:arthurlockman/gatool-ui.git
cd gatool-ui
npm i
npm run start

This will start the local development server on port 3000.

In order to test the PWA features of the app locally, run:

npm i -g serve
npm run build && serve -s build

Note that when running as a PWA, debugging will not be available.

Deploying

GATool has two main active deployments: beta and production. Both are hosted on Azure web services and deployed automatically from GitHub.

To deploy to beta, commit and push to the beta branch. To send things to production, make a pull request from beta to the main branch and merge. Merging the changes will create a new production deployment.
