|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## 📋 Prerequisites
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Node.js (v18 or higher)
|
||||||
|
- npm or yarn
|
||||||
|
- Git
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 🔧 Installation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## ⚙️ Configuration
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Backend Configuration
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Create a `.env` file in the backend directory:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```env
|
||||||
|
NODE_ENV=development
|
||||||
|
PORT=3001
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Frontend Configuration
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Create a `.env.local` file in the frontend directory:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```env
|
||||||
|
NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=http://localhost:3001/api/v1
|
||||||
|
NEXT_PUBLIC_SOCKET_SERVER_URL=http://localhost:3001
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## 🚀 Running the Application
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
npm run dev
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## 📡 API Limitations
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This application uses the ADSB.one API with the following constraints:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **Coverage Radius**: Limited to 250 nautical miles from a specific location
|
||||||
|
- **Rate Limiting**: Maximum 1 request per second to the API
|
||||||
|
- **Data Caching**: Server-side global variable caching is implemented to optimize performance and respect rate limits
|
||||||
|
- **Smart Filtering**: Flight data is filtered based on map zoom level and boundaries to provide relevant information efficiently
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## 🏗️ Architecture
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Data Flow
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Backend makes requests to ADSB.one API (max 1 req/sec)
|
||||||
|
2. Flight data is cached in a global variable on the server
|
||||||
|
3. Frontend connects to backend via Socket.IO
|
||||||
|
4. Backend filters and sends relevant data based on map boundaries
|
||||||
|
5. Frontend receives real-time updates and displays aircraft on the map
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Caching Strategy
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To respect the API's 1 request/second limit, the backend:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Maintains a global cache of all aircraft data
|
||||||
|
- Updates the cache once per second
|
||||||
|
- Filters data based on client's map view
|
||||||
|
- Pushes only relevant data to connected clients
