Pigs. We don't think about them much, but they are definitely there! After chatting with a friend and realizing that I don't recall every actually seeing a live pig, I decided to try and map out where we could go to visit and see pigs!

It is definitely a very random project but has been a great opportunity to learn a lot. Technically, it is not limited to just storing pig farms (but that is where the idea came from, hence the name 'oink').

Things I learned

  • Sending requests to/from MongoDB Atlas (create, edit, delete)
  • Using Express, React, and Node
  • Figuring out how Google Maps JavaScript API and Geocoding API work

Things to come

  • Implementing some kind of authentication/sign-up
  • Finishing up the map with the placement of markers

side note

You will need to insert the Google Maps API key in the home.component.js file as well as the create-location.component.js file
