Primary LanguageJavaScript

About:

The repository hosting files for the application represents the use of Google Maps API feature built upon the library ReactJS for our single page application.

This is a example application of Google Maps API implementations with some features such as using third party data for creating markers for the map, in this case, this is a example app for coffee in Washinton D.C.

Getting Started:

After downloading / cloning the repo run:

  • npm intall - Install packages.

  • npm start - To run React app locally on your client.

Tools / Resources:

  • Axios added as it can be used both server and client side. The flexibility is useful for possible server side additions.

  • FourSquare The next best used places API but also has some nice features such as having more extensive coverage globally and filter options. Also, until getting a premium google API sub this will help reduce some of the requests that you are limited too.

  • react-google-maps & explanations Is the website that gave me insight on using a more clean approach rather than the previous map setup of building and appending a script tag to initialize the Google Maps within ReactJS as one example.

  • gh-pages deployment

Notes / Todos:

Everything in the readme doccumentation is subject to change. This is currently a documentation of a repo in development and not yet fully published for use. Will update further on the status.

  1. Todo: Large portion and loss of time on this project was attempting to understand the documentations for react-google-maps whilst implementing a use for Polygons. My first interest in Maps is this feature.

  2. Todo: Search on languages for possible universal language implementation. Maps is used globally afterall.
