Cove is an Angular app built using Ionic UI components and tooling. The app's serverless backend is built using AWS Amplify including storage, auth, api, offline(datastore) and database(dynamo) resources. The app was originally meant to be a hybrid app for ios/android but was eventually converted to a PWA.

? Are you sure you want to continue? YesCove uses Google Maps to search and display location data. To enable it, follow these steps:
- Create a GCP API Key as seen here
- Ensure the following APIs are enabled for the API key: Geocoding API, Maps Javascript API, Maps Static API and Places API.
- Create a
.envfile in the root directory with:GCP_MAPS_API_KEY=INSERT_GCP_KEY_HEREand replaceINSERT_GCP_KEY_HEREwith the newly generated key. - Create the
GCP_MAPS_API_KEYenvironment variable in the AWS Amplify Console
ng startNote: npm start will first set the environment vairables in
.envthen start the app.
