Corporate Design Images Creator

This tools aims to provide a simple way to generate images conforming the corporate design rules. It's designed to be so simple to use, that no any further instructions are needed and no corporate design rules can be broken. See it in action ▶️ cd.gruene.ch (To get a login, ask the secretary of your canton).

Why?

Not everybody has the software and skills to create corporate design images on his own. And it's not everybodys hobby to learn all the rules of the corporate design.

Contributing ...

... is cool, simple and helps to make the 🌍 a better place 🤩

1. Install docker. (If you're on a linux machine, make sure to follow the post installation steps.)
2. Start docker
3. Clone this repo git clone git@github.com:grueneschweiz/cd.gruene.ch.git
4. cd into the folder containing the repo
5. Execute bash scripts/install.sh and have a ☕️ while it installs.
6. Execute docker-compose up -d to start up the stack.
7. After a few seconds: Visit localhost:8000. If you get a connection error, wait 30 seconds then try again.
8. Login using admin@admin.admin as email and Admin2018 as password.

The Stack

Using a Lamp stack on docker, the tool is built with CakePHP. The image processing is done with ImageMagick and the frontend uses a bunch of JS-Tools bundled by Webpack. Have a look at the package.json if you want to dig deeper.

Where to begin

Grab an issue and get started

Things you probably need to know

• As the font used in the corporate design is proprietary, you'll need to get a licenced copy. Contact us, for more info.
• The JS and CSS source files are located in src/Assets and then transpiled into the webroot.
• Since the project started a long time ago, the JS is still in ECMAScript 5.
• Please update the MySQL workbench model in src/Model/Workbench and the .docker/seed.sql, if you make changes to the database schema.

Tooling

Docker Cheat Sheet

• Start up: docker-compose up -d
• Shut down: docker-compose down
• Execute CakePHP CLI commands (enter container): docker exec -it cd_app bash. Use exit to escape the container.
• Add dependency using composer: docker-compose -f docker-compose.install.yml run composer composer require DEPENDENCY (yes, composer composer is correct, the first one defines the container to start the second one is the command to execute)
• Add dependency from npm: docker-compose -f docker-compose.install.yml run node npm --install DEPENDENCY (You may want to use --save or --save-dev as well. Check out the Docs.)

Mailhog

MySQL

Use the handy phpMyAdmin or access the mysql CLI using docker exec -it cd_mysql mysql --user=cake --password=cake cake

NPM

Access the watching container using docker exec -it cd_node bash or use docker attach cd_node to get the output directly on your console.
