Anton Gunnarsson 80100e7631 Merged in monorepo-step-1 (pull request #1080)
Migrate to a monorepo setup - step 1

* Move web to subfolder /apps/scandic-web

* Yarn + transitive deps

- Move to yarn
- design-system package removed for now since yarn doesn't
support the parameter for token (ie project currently broken)
- Add missing transitive dependencies as Yarn otherwise
prevents these imports
- VS Code doesn't pick up TS path aliases unless you open
/apps/scandic-web instead of root (will be fixed with monorepo)

* Pin framer-motion to temporarily fix typing issue

https://github.com/adobe/react-spectrum/issues/7494

* Pin zod to avoid typ error

There seems to have been a breaking change in the types
returned by zod where error is now returned as undefined
instead of missing in the type. We should just handle this
but to avoid merge conflicts just pin the dependency for
now.

* Pin react-intl version

Pin version of react-intl to avoid tiny type issue where formatMessage
does not accept a generic any more. This will be fixed in a future
commit, but to avoid merge conflicts just pin for now.

* Pin typescript version

Temporarily pin version as newer versions as stricter and results in
a type error. Will be fixed in future commit after merge.

* Setup workspaces

* Add design-system as a monorepo package

* Remove unused env var DESIGN_SYSTEM_ACCESS_TOKEN

* Fix husky for monorepo setup

* Update netlify.toml

* Add lint script to root package.json

* Add stub readme

* Fix react-intl formatMessage types

* Test netlify.toml in root

* Remove root toml

* Update netlify.toml publish path

* Remove package-lock.json

* Update build for branch/preview builds

Google Map Static API

About

The Google Maps Static API lets you embed a Google Maps image on your web page. The Google Maps Static API service creates your map based on URL parameters sent through a standard HTTP request and returns the map as an image you can display on your web page. Due to regulations from Google we are not allowed to store and serve copies of images generated using the Google Maps Static API. All web pages that require static images must link the src attribute of an HTML img tag or as a background-image using CSS.

API Key Restrictions

You can restrict your API key on websites, IP addresses, Android apps and iOS apps. For now (12/8-24) the API key is restricted by IP address, hence the request will only work at Scandic HQ network. This will be changed to a referrer website in the future. Read more about API key restrictions

Digital Signature

Requests exceeding 25,000 requests per day require an API key and a digital signature. However, it is strongly recommended by Google to use both an API key and digital signature, regardless of the usage.

The digital signature is set on the Google Maps Platform. For dynamically generated requests, the signature is handled through server side signing appending the signature as base64 on the request url. Read more about digital signature

Generating new API keys

Regenerating an API key creates a new key that has all the old key's restrictions. This process also starts a 24-hour timer after which the old API key is deleted. During this time window, both the old and new key are accepted, giving you a chance to migrate your apps to use the new key. However, after this time period elapses, any apps still using the old API key stop working.

Caution: Only regenerate an API key if you absolutely must to avoid unauthorized use. This process can shut down legitimate traffic and prevent your apps from functioning properly. Read more about regenerating keys
