Introduction

Nodejs, Typescript and OSM based map for parents in Leipzig. Inspired by Kidsle (Github and Portal). This repo contains the backend only. The frontend takka-tukka can be found there.

Requirements

To use this project you need to install the javascript-server Node.js. Node.js comes with a packetmanager called npm. It is recommended to install the following two npm-packages globally, so the executables can be launched from any path.

# npm install -g typescript
# npm install -g typings

Typescript is a javascript compiler and Typings is needed to bring codecompletion / intellisense in your editor. Every javascript-library has their own codecompletion definitions file (d.ts). These Files are stored in the typings-folder.

Before you can start, you need to install the required npm packages.

# npm install

Now all packages where included in the package.json will be installed.
