Repo structure

This repo contains the code for the a carbon cost report generator developed on a 1-day hackathon during our company retreat on October 2021.

We wrote a blog post about it!

Go see the app live here

It is divided into 2 folders:

• frontend/: A vue.js application allowing to setup carbon report generation for any stream, and view the resulting report.
• server/: A FastAPI Python server that receives notifications of each new commit in a stream, and generates a carbon report based on the data.

Frontend

First, install all necesary dependencies by running npm install on the frontend/ folder.

Inside the frontend/ folder, you’ll find a file named .env.local-example. Rename it to .env.local and fill in the variables accordingly.

The app ID and app secret are obtained when creating a new app in your Speckle profile section.

Then run npm run serve to run the app in development mode.

To build the app run npm run build

Server

To run the app, use the provided Dockerfile

To run the app, create a .env file based on the .env_example, and pass that to docker run via the --env-file flag

For debug see the .vscode/launch.json for a sample config.

Use the example hooks provided, and the http://localhost:8000/docs page to test things.
