Ad hoc (for now) analyses of Nightscout data for personal use

Development setup

1. Clone this repo.

2. Install/update pyenv and Python 3.9.13 if needed, e.g.:

   brew update && brew upgrade pyenv
   pyenv install 3.9.13
   

   Follow pyenv's instructions for adding to the appropriate rc file, reload the shell, and navigate to the project root. The project's .python-version file specifies the appropriate Python version, which you can confirm using which python.

3. Create and activate a virtual environment using venv:

   $ python -m venv nsenv
   

4. From within the virtual environment, install dependencies:

   $ . nsenv/bin/activate
   (nsenv) $ pip install -r requirements.txt
   

5. Install pre-commit so that basic formatting will be enforced upon committing to the repo:

   pre-commit install -t pre-push
   

6. Create a .env file in the project root with the contents:

   NIGHTSCOUT_URL=https://<your_nightscout_url>/api/v1/
   

7. You should now be able to run:

   (mmenv) $ python demo.py
   

Heroku deployment notes

• This app is currently deployed via Heroku at https://nightscout-analysis.herokuapp.com/. It would be easy to set up review apps (automatic deployment of PR branches) if helpful in the future.
• Keep the runtime.txt and .python-version synced; runtime.txt is used by Heroku to determine the appropriate Python version.
• Heroku uses the Procfile which refers to server as defined in app.py.
