why do we must run it with https in localhost?

[HenriqueDerosa]

Either using npm or yarn it doesnt work. Even if I set a different PORT.
Accessing it I get the default chrome error This page isn’t working

Edit: Then I realized this is caused by HTTPS=true in .env file. Is this really needed @pejulian ? Sounds like .env should not be in the repository, but just an example
Could we create a .env.example instead, and explain why https is needed with a short comment or in the readme file?

Hello @HenriqueDerosa !

.env is just there mostly for demonstration purposes. We could, like you mentioned, change it to an example file with comments.

I didn't get to work much on this app apart from generating the scaffold. I was concentrating more on converting the core romcal library to TypeScript in the beginning of the year but was then pulled away for other matters.

The TypeScript based romcal library will allow us to install and import romcal in this front end and benefit from the typings its provides.

It would be awesome for you to contribute to this project! Historically, other contributors in this organization just use PR's or Project discussions to communicate with one another. We used to have a Gitter channel, but we shut it down because no one was really using it.

Okay, that's nice.
@pejulian can you explain why do you need to use HTTPS in localhost ? Or it is not necessary? If so, I would recommend keeping its default value.

Also @pejulian I would like to talk with some other way because I didn't get what is the idea of this frontend application. What and how would you show things in the calendar?

Hi Henrique, It is not necessary to use HTTPS. I was simply trying it out the setup in my local machine to see how things worked. We can revert back to plain HTTP for development :)

Hello Henrique, Basically, this front end application targets to visualize all the functionality provided by romcal. The base functionality is to show the liturgical celebration on the current day (according to the end user system date). The calendar view allows the user to see all the celebrations within the given month or week (depending on the calendar view selected). Then, there are many other functions to enhance the viewing experience like: 1. Indicating the Ferial cycle 2. Marking the dates in the calendar with the liturgical color 3. Indicating the liturgical season Further to this, there can be special queries available for the user to "ask" romcal for a specific range of dates, for example: 1. Get all dates in the season of Easter, Holy Week, Christmastide or Ordinary Time 2. Group dates by their type (Solemnity, Memorial, Commemoration etc) 3. ... and more as exposed by the romcal API These queries can then be presented to the user as a list or in some other innovative way to help them visualize the results.
