Cicer

Cicer is a web based software to manage the stock, purchases and balance of a consumer association. It has being created for the needs of the Garbanzo Negro.

Requirements

• Golang >= 1.12
• Node.js

Deployment

Build a copy using make:

make build

Create a secret for the authentication tokens:

head -c 21 < /dev/urandom | base64

Now you can copy the build folder and the cicer binary to your server and run it like:

./cicer -assets 'path/to/build' -secret 'scret' -addr ':8000'

Instead of flags all the params can be passed as env variables. See the names between { and } in:

./cicer -h

Running it for development

To run Cicer in development mode, build and run the backend:

go build
./cicer

And then run the frontend with npm:

npm start

The backend API will be listening on port 8080, while the frontend will be on port 3000.

Open a browser and visit http://localhost:3000. You will be able to see any changes you do in the javascript side as you go (the backend side needs recompilation).

Initialize data

When you run cicer, it will print an authentication token. Use this token to seed some initial data (such a few users and products):

./setup.sh the.token.string

Android

Requires android studio to be installed in the system. With it you can build the apk from command line:

make apk

The built apk will be in android/app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release-unsigned.apk.

Or open android studio to test and build the app:

make build
npx cap copy
npx cap open android

sign the apk

To sign the apk you need to have a key generated with:

keytool -genkey -v -keystore release.keystore -alias release -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

And then sign it:

apksigner sign --ks ~/release.keystore --out app.apk app-release-unsigned.apk
