Bit-Market Buyer tools for a network based goods distribution network. The following features have been implemented at the moment.
- Take the location of the buyer browsing
- Show a map of stockists located near the buyer
- Show detailed information of stockists when the buyer clicks on the specific stockist on the map
- Name of stockist
- Business Hours
- Customer Satisfaction Rating
- Store availability
- We use json-server to simulate a back end server
- The data fed into the system at the moment is for Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Zoom to Addis if you don't see any markers based on your location.
Install dependencies:
$ npm install
Install webpack and its dev server:
$ npm install -g webpack webpack-dev-server
Install json-server:
$ npm install -g json-server
Open a terminal window:
$ cd back-end-server-mock
Run the json server with --watch in case you want to add stockist data.
$ json-server db.json --watch
The server is now accessible over at http://localhost:3000/.
List of stockists: http://localhost:3000/stockists
Individual Stockist: http://localhost:3000/stockists/1
The Server supports PUT, POST, DELETE as well as GET. You can try it out with curl and add new data.
From inside the project root folder run:
$ webpack-dev-server
Browse to http://localhost:8080/
- Browse products available near the buyer (Not Implemented)
- Vote for products to be stocked near the buyer's area (Not Implemented)
- Integrating with Google's Get Directions feature to the stockist
- There is no sophisticated view layer like react at the moment because googles map's canvas becomes a bit clunky with react. However, react will be used when building the rest of these features.
- Add tests.
