About The Project

In SAF, soldiers are required to do duties, be it guard duty or 24hr ops duty. This project is tailored for unit, where they are required to do 24hr ops duty. The duty roster has these requirements:

1. The duty roster should be spread out in a month of a calendar
2. It is a 24-hour duty shift
3. There must be a duty personnel for each day from the start to the end of the month
4. There should not be any back-to-back duty for the same duty personnel.
5. There should be an equal number of duties for everyone if possible.
6. Personnel should be shuffled to avoid the first person always having the most number of duties
7. Personnel can have block out dates where they should not have duties on the date they have blocked out.

Features

• Duty roster generation with points algorithm
• Blockout dates management for personnel to avoid duties
• Duty swap request with another personnel
• Push notifications for reminders of duty and swap requests

Getting Started

To get a local copy up and running follow these simple example steps.

Prerequisites

You'll first need a Supabase project which can be made via the Supabase dashboard.

Clone and run locally

1. Clone this project with Git

   git clone https:/ISnackable/saf-duty

2. Rename .env.local.example to .env.local and update the following:

   NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL=[INSERT SUPABASE PROJECT URL]
   NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=[INSERT SUPABASE PROJECT API ANON KEY]
   

   Both SUPABASE_API_URL and SUPABASE_ANON_KEY can be found in your Supabase project's API settings or by running npx supabase status.

3. Configure the vault secrets using the database studio SQL editor. Replace the keys with the appropriate values. Take note, SUPABASE_ROLE_KEY is different from SUPABASE_ANON_KEY. Do not mix them up.

   insert into vault.secrets (secret, name, description) values ('[INSERT SUPABASE PROJECT URL]', 'project_url'), ('[INSERT SUPABASE ROLE KEY]', 'service_role_key');

4. You can now run the Next.js local development server:

   pnpm dev

   The app should now be running on localhost:3000.

Configuration

As much as this project aims to set up as seamlessly as possible, due to some limitation to Supabase, there are some config that has to be done manually.

Create vault secrets (Required)

Navigate to Project Vault settings in your Supabase Dashboard or.

1. Create a new secret with the name project_url.
2. The secret value should be your project's url, you can find the it through the Project API settings.
3. Repeat for the secret service_role_key.

Push Notification (Optional)

To Enable Push Notification with Web Push. You will need to deploy the Supabase Edge Function and create the database webhook manually.

1. Deploy the Supabase Edge Function

The database webhook handler to send push notifications is located in supabase/functions/push/index.ts. Deploy the function to your linked project and set the WEB_PUSH_PUBLIC_KEY, WEB_PUSH_PRIVATE_KEY & WEB_PUSH_EMAIL secret.

1. supabase functions deploy push
2. supabase secrets set --env-file .env.local

Note: The Public and Private keys secrets must be generated using the alastaircoote/webpush-webcrypto package.

2. Create the database webhook

Navigate to the Database Webhooks settings in your Supabase Dashboard.

1. Enable and create a new hook with the name on_after_notifications_created.
2. Conditions to fire webhook: Select the notifications table and tick the Insert event.
3. Webhook configuration: Supabase Edge Functions.
4. Edge Function: Select the push edge function and leave the method as POST and timeout as 1000.
5. HTTP Headers: Click "Add new header" > "Add auth header with service key" and leave Content-type: application/json.
6. Click "Create webhook".

3. Sending a push notification

When a new row is added in your notifications table, a push notification will be sent to the user who has subscribed to push notification.

• Note: There's also a cron job for daily duty reminder if a user is subscribed to push notification.

   -- View all scheduled job.
   select * from cron.job;
  
   -- Or unschedule it if you want to disable it.
   select cron.unschedule('daily-roster-reminder');

Contributing

If you have a suggestion that would make this better, please fork the repo and create a pull request. Any contributions you make are greatly appreciated.

I recommend you to use GitHub Codespaces for ease of development. Below lists the steps on how you can get started.

1. Fork the Project

2. Create a GitHub Codespace instance
   

3. Start the local database (If it hasn't already been started already)

   npx supabase start

   The database should now be running and the supabase studio is at localhost:54323.

4. Follow this section starting from part 2 onwards.
