# CompareWare
# Leptos Starter Template
CompareWare is an open-source platform for comparing tools (software, hardware, etc.) with structured, crowdsourced data. It combines **Leptos** for a modern, reactive frontend and **Nostr** for decentralized data storage.
This is a template for use with the [Leptos](https://github.com/leptos-rs/leptos) web framework and the [cargo-leptos](https://github.com/akesson/cargo-leptos) tool.
## **Features**
- **Item Management**: Add, view, and manage items with metadata and key-value tags.
- **Nostr Integration**:
- Store and share data as Nostr events.
- Authenticate users with Nostr keys.
- **Future Features**: Reviews and a Web of Trust for collaborative insights.
## Creating your template repo
If you don't have `cargo-leptos` installed you can install it with
## **Getting Started**
`cargo install cargo-leptos --locked`
### Prerequisites
- Rust (latest stable version)
- Leptos framework
Then run
`cargo leptos new --git leptos-rs/start`
to generate a new project template (you will be prompted to enter a project name).
`cd {projectname}`
to go to your newly created project.
Of course, you should explore around the project structure, but the best place to start with your application code is in `src/app.rs`.
## Running your project
`cargo leptos watch`
By default, you can access your local project at `http://localhost:3000`
## Installing Additional Tools
By default, `cargo-leptos` uses `nightly` Rust, `cargo-generate`, and `sass`. If you run into any trouble, you may need to install one or more of these tools.
1. `rustup toolchain install nightly --allow-downgrade` - make sure you have Rust nightly
2. `rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown` - add the ability to compile Rust to WebAssembly
3. `cargo install cargo-generate` - install `cargo-generate` binary (should be installed automatically in future)
4. `npm install -g sass` - install `dart-sass` (should be optional in future)
## Executing a Server on a Remote Machine Without the Toolchain
After running a `cargo leptos build --release` the minimum files needed are:
1. The server binary located in `target/server/release`
2. The `site` directory and all files within located in `target/site`
Copy these files to your remote server. The directory structure should be:
```text
leptos_start
site/
### Installation
1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://forge.ftt.gmbh/ryanmwangi/Compware.git
cd compareware
```
Set the following environment variables (updating for your project as needed):
```sh
export LEPTOS_OUTPUT_NAME="leptos_start"
export LEPTOS_SITE_ROOT="site"
export LEPTOS_SITE_PKG_DIR="pkg"
export LEPTOS_SITE_ADDR="127.0.0.1:3000"
export LEPTOS_RELOAD_PORT="3001"
2. Run the development server:
```bash
cargo leptos serve
```
Finally, run the server binary.
3. Open your browser at [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000)
## Notes about CSR and Trunk:
Although it is not recommended, you can also run your project without server integration using the feature `csr` and `trunk serve`:
## **Roadmap**
`trunk serve --open --features csr`
1. **Item Management** (In progress)
- Implement a form (`item_form.rs`) to allow users to add new items with metadata and key-value tags.
- Create a listing component (`items_list.rs`) to display and manage added items.
- Add backend functionality to validate and persist items using the Leptos framework.
This may be useful for integrating external tools which require a static site, e.g. `tauri`.
2. **Review System** (To be implemented)
- Design a data model to handle reviews, including ratings, comments, and reviewer metadata.
- Build a user interface for submitting and viewing reviews linked to specific items.
- Integrate filters and sorting to display reviews based on relevance and ratings.
## Licensing
This template itself is released under the Unlicense. You should replace the LICENSE for your own application with an appropriate license if you plan to release it publicly.
3. **Nostr Integration** (To be integrated)
- Use Nostr events for decentralized data storage, mapping item data to specific Nostr event types.
- Authenticate users through their Nostr keys for secure and decentralized access.
- Enable data sharing and synchronization with Nostr-compatible clients.
