CodePath: iOS Yelp Client Assignment #2

Yelp

This is a Yelp search app using the Yelp API.

Time spent: <Number of hours spent>

Features

Required

• Search results page
  • Table rows should be dynamic height according to the content height
  • Custom cells should have the proper Auto Layout constraints
  • Search bar should be in the navigation bar (doesn't have to expand to show location like the real Yelp app does).
• Filter page. Unfortunately, not all the filters are supported in the Yelp API.
  • The filters you should actually have are: category, sort (best match, distance, highest rated), radius (meters), deals (on/off).
  • The filters table should be organized into sections as in the mock.
  • You can use the default UISwitch for on/off states. Optional: implement a custom switch
  • Clicking on the "Search" button should dismiss the filters page and trigger the search w/ the new filter settings.
  • Display some of the available Yelp categories (choose any 3-4 that you want).

Optional

• Search results page
  • Infinite scroll for restaurant results
  • Implement map view of restaurant results
• Filter page
  • Radius filter should expand as in the real Yelp app
  • Categories should show a subset of the full list with a "See All" row to expand. Category list is here: http://www.yelp.com/developers/documentation/category_list (Links to an external site.)
• Implement the restaurant detail page.

Basic Yelp client

This is a headless example of how to implement an OAuth 1.0a Yelp API client. The Yelp API provides an application token that allows applications to make unauthenticated requests to their search API.

Next steps

• Check out MainViewController.m to see how to use the YelpClient.
• Augment the search method in the YelpClient with whatever search parameters you want to support.

Sample request

self.client = [[YelpClient alloc] initWithConsumerKey:kYelpConsumerKey consumerSecret:kYelpConsumerSecret accessToken:kYelpToken accessSecret:kYelpTokenSecret];
        
[self.client searchWithTerm:@"Thai" success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id response) {
   NSLog(@"response: %@", response);
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
   NSLog(@"error: %@", [error description]);
}];
