Indeedio

A personalized job search web app, built with React, GraphQL, MongoDB, and Node.

Crawl thousands of open job positions and filter for specific qualities (by companies, keywords, and so on).

Don't forget to add your database url and api keys in config.js and a list of preferred search terms in companies.js.

TO LAUNCH THE SITE:

run yarn start in the backend directory -- connects to the MongoDB database and the Express API endpoint, and runs the spiders to scrape Indeed for job listings (once for each term).
run yarn start in the frontend directory -- filters the scraped output by your list of companies.
Go to http://localhost:3000. Your Express API endpoint is up at localhost:8080, and your GraphQL playground is up at localhost:5000.

OPTIONAL PRE-LAUNCH SCRIPTS:

add terms and run node companies in the frontend/ directory to add new preferences
run node clear-output in the backend/ directory to clear outdated listings
run node apify_scrapers/engineer_scraper and node apify_scrapers/engineering_scraper in the backend/ directory to scrape new listings on demand

IDEAS FOR EXTRA FEATURES:

Add optional background images to the Login and Register pages (just for looks)
Add option to update preferred companies in the MyFavorites page (currently unnecessary)
Separate the navbar into its own component (for organizational purposes)
Additional notes about scraping are also included in merge-spiders.js
