This is the repo for the GDG x Engineers Without Borders mobile app development workshop!

to start, clone the project, open it up and enter the command line in the cherry_blommon_app/app/ folder, 

run: npm install    # installs dependancies, make sure you have node+npm installed already as well as expo
run: expo start     # bundles code and starts a debug build

see expo + react native docs for how to actually code here, ill try to leave some descriptve comments all around. see below for some methodology and what this project should do as is.

At the time of demo: App consists of three pages, there is tabbed navigation between two, the second page contains a link to a demo implementation of map viewing and CRUD whatever. The plan for the demo is to reimplement that as a class or maybe just to build a metrics page on top of it. either way there are a number of utilities to help us. there is context for the data as well as color scheme, routing is all set up and easy to extend, firebase is connected and functions to retrieve and send data to it are in place

notice two folders here, app and data. 
  - data contains some of the foundational csv files (tree survey data) behind this project. there are also a number of odd python scripts which i used just to clean that data slightly, upload it to a firebase firestore db, and test that db's functionality along with some other junk. it is only there so that someone curious may have a look at what cleaning data can look like and where this all comes from. original everyhting is exported from this site: https://www.google.com/mymaps/viewer?mid=1vOWUZvzqImLwEpDH3zAQeggymnAV2I0&hl=en_US
  - app folder contains the actual react native + expo project. I will ellaborate more on that when i actually make the app. for now, the app is a template which contains some helper scripts for navigation, interacting with firebase, and whatever else i think will be helpfull so we can spend our demo can be just showing off how fun and easy this is...(very fun and very easy until its firebase time so im doing it for you)
