GP Vaccine Search

Unofficial Australian GP AstraZeneca Search: https://gpvaccinesearch.com/

Searches HotDoc for nearby GPs, and ranks them by their next available appointment for first AstraZeneca dose.

Rate limited so as not to affect HotDoc. Built in two afternoons, definitely isn't my prettiest code. If it helps get us out of this national emergency one day sooner I'll be very happy.

Hosted on AWS S3 behind Cloudflare and Lambda.

Getting started

This is a monorepo of sorts. Frontend code in frontend/, Express server in backend/.

Running backend

cd backend/
yarn
yarn build
yarn run dev

Starts express server on localhost:3000

For debugging, this might be handy:

ls src/*.ts | entr -rcs "yarn build && WHEREAMI=local yarn run dev"

ARE_WE_DEBUGGING sets the Access-Control-Allow-Origin to a localhost debug URL.

Running frontend

cd frontend/
yarn
yarn build

For debugging, set variables in frontend/src/constants.ts.

This uses the coordinates of Central to find clinics, see comment in document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", ....

Frontend code is compiled and put into dist/. You could cd dist and python -m SimpleHTTPServer but notice that the geolocation doesn't work without HTTPS.

You can use ngrok as well for HTTPS (ngrok http 8000), however you'll hit CORs issues.
