370J Media Commons Room Reservation App

About

This application is designed for reserving rooms at the 370J Media Commons Room.

Technologies Used

• Google App Script: For backend scripting and integration.
• React & Google App Script: Utilizing React-Google-Apps-Script for a responsive front-end experience.
• clasp: For Google Apps Script project management and deployment.

Deployment

We employ GitHub workflows for our deployment process. Pushing or merging to different branches will automatically trigger different Google App Script deploys:

• main branch: triggers the DEVELOPMENT deploy, which serves from localhost and reads/writes the development calendars
• staging branch: triggers the STAGING deploy, which serves from the GAS project and reads/writes the development calendars
• prod branch: triggers the PRODUCTION deploy, which serves from the GAS project and reads/writes the production calendars

The NODE_ENV environment variable controls where we serve from, and the CALENDAR_ENV environment variable controls which calendars we use. These values are specified in the package.json commands triggered by the workflows

• .clasprc.json file from another developer.
