SimpleMapApp for interview purposes.
Introduction
Hello. First of all, thank you for giving me the opportunity to complete this sample project. I am excited to complete it. Although it is a simple project, there are a lot of possible features to add. I tried my best to show my skills and vision to you.
In this document, I provided some information regarding the project. Let’s walk through the flow of the app.
Launchscreen is simple. It tells the purpose of the app and navigates to the map with a button.
After Launchscreen, there is a map and a floating search bar. User can search a place in this interface.
During the search, the background goes a bit dark to enhance UX. After searching something (e.g. coffee), the app shows the top 10 closest and relevant places to the user.
The user might click a pinned location and look up its category.
Firstly, I applied the MVVM design pattern. I used Alamofire to ease my networking and Floating Panel to enhance User Experience. Other tools and libraries are built-in libraries.
Although the API provides more information such as distance and rating etc., I could not find a way to get the correct information from my model when a user clicks on a pin. Pin annotations only carry two information which is title and subtitle. I would be glad if we can discuss and find a way to solve this.
