Leaf-Glucose-Simulation

A simulation that demonstrates what happens inside a leaf during Photosynthesis with emphasis on glucose production/storage/usage

Installation Instructrions

1. Run "npm i leaf-glucose"

2. cd node_modules/leaf-glucose

3. Open index.html in browser or run "python3 -m http.server <port>" and open localhost:<port>

4. Add configuration settings to the URL

Demo

Lights On,Off

Lights Full,3/4,1/2,1/4,Off

Lights Full,3/4,1/2,1/4,Off, No Graph

Lights On,Off, Water control enabled

Simulation Configuration

You can configure the simulation at the beginning by passing in these GET parameters to the model:

• numDays={1+} (default: 20)
• numLightOptions={2,3,5} (default: 2)
• showEnergyNeeds={true,false} (default: false). Toggles energy needs indication section and battery animation
• showGraph={true,false} (default: true)
• showGraphBackground={true,false} (default: false). Toggles plot band background
• showLineGlucoseMade={true,false} (default: true)
• showLineGlucoseUsed={true,false} (default: true)
• showLineGlucoseStored={true,false} (default: true)
• showOrganelles={true,false} (default: true)
• showPlant={true,false} (default: true)
• showSpeedControls={true,false} (default: false)
• showWater={true,false} (default: false)
• enableInputControls={true,false} (default: true)
• lightLevelLabels={comma-separated string} (default: "OFF,ON")
• waterLevelLabels={comma-separated string} (default: "NO,YES") Ex: "250mL,500mL"

Development

You will need NPM (https://www.npmjs.com) and Git.

1. Checkout the project

$ git clone https://github.com/WISE-Community/Leaf-Glucose-Simulation.git

2. Install gulp globally

$ cd Leaf-Glucose-Simulation
Leaf-Glucose-Simulation$ npm install -g gulp-cli

3. Install dependencies

Leaf-Glucose-Simulation$ npm install

4. Start gulp task. This will start a running process to copy files and compile changes to typescript files.

Leaf-Glucose-Simulation$ gulp

5. See the model on the browser by going to path_to_Leaf-Glucose-Simulation/dist/index.html . (e.g. file:///Users/myusername/dev/Leaf-Glucose-Simulation/dist/index.html)

6. Make changes with your favorite IDE. Changes to typescript will be immediately compiled to the dist folder.

7. See you change in the browser by refreshing the page.
