- Allows admins to create and fill databases that can interact with Google Maps, creating interactive pins for every entry.
- Gives the final users a clear and fun way to interact with data.
- Guides developers in adapting the code for your own needs with a detailed Wiki and comments in the code.

### Requirements
![DMMapp Landing Page](.README_images/intro-image.png)

The DMMapp Open Source is based on Laravel 6.x. As a consequence, your server must meet the following requirements:
</a>

- PHP >= 7.2.0
- BCMath PHP Extension
- Ctype PHP Extension
- JSON PHP Extension
- Mbstring PHP Extension
- OpenSSL PHP Extension
- PDO PHP Extension
- Tokenizer PHP Extension
- XML PHP Extension
Whether you're a developer looking to contribute to the app or simply want to submit data, or you're simply curious
about how it all works, you can learn all there is to know about how to use and contribute to the DMMapp by visiting
[our documentation](https://sexycodicology.github.io/DMMapp-Digitized-Medieval-Manuscripts-app/).

To use Google Maps:
<div align=center>

- A valid Google Maps API key
<a href="https://sexycodicology.github.io/DMMapp-Digitized-Medieval-Manuscripts-app/">
<img alt="Static Badge" src="https://img.shields.io/badge/Get_Started-white?style=for-the-badge&logo=materialformkdocs&link=https%3A%2F%2Fsexycodicology.github.io%2FDMMapp-Digitized-Medieval-Manuscripts-app%2F">
</a>

### Quickstart
and

> **IMPORTANT:** this quickstart guide is meant for local development only. It will create a generic admin user that uses `admin@example.com` and `password`. **Do not use in production environments.**

Assuming you have [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) installed on your machine:
<a href="https://www.patreon.com/join/424150">
<img alt="Static Badge" src="https://img.shields.io/badge/support-red?style=for-the-badge&logo=patreon">
</a>

```shell
git clone DMMappOpenSource https://github.com/SexyCodicology/DMMapp-Open-Source.git
cd DMMappOpenSource
composer install
```
</div>

- copy the contents of ".env.example" into ".env". If no ".env" is present, simply rename ".env.example" to ".env"
---
<div align=center>

- (optional) Review the contents of the .env file and enter your Google API where requested.
## Questions and help

- Note: The application will still work if you do not enter the Google API key at this stage, but you will not be able to see the map and the pins.
</div>

```shell
php artisan key:generate
```

- create file "database.sqlite" in "DMMappOpenSource\database"

```php
php artisan migrate --seed
php artisan serve
```

A more detailed guide for setting up the app for both local and production environments is present in the [DMMapp Open Source Wiki](https://digitizedmedievalmanuscripts.org/).
