Driver location Tracker

#Explanation Currently this project contains two rest endpoints. The first endpoint return all the drivers near to given location and other endpoint allow us to update drivers locations. All the data is stored in mongodb.

You can checkout deployed api at https://or-demo.herokuapp.com/

Try out https://or-demo.herokuapp.com/api/v1/drivers/77.054411/28.643839 it will return all the drivers within 200 meter of the given location

If you want to update the location of one the drivers make post request to https://or-demo.herokuapp.com/api/v1/drivers/location with following json data

{
    "id": "string",
    "lng": "string",
    "lat": "string"
}

Please don't forgot to use content-type: application/json on headers. I am sharing all the drivers ids so you can try out and change driver locations

Things can we improved

Currently this demo application does not have complete data validation. If you send some random data it may crash. This can be easily avoided by adding more validations.

Deployment

Prerequisite

  1. Python3
  2. Mongodb

Installation backend

  1. Git clone current project
  2. Run pip install pipenv
  3. run pipenv install
  4. run export FLASK_APP=app.py
  5. run export FLASK_ENV=[development|production|testing]
  6. run export FLASK_DEBUG=[1|0]
  7. run export DATABASE_URL=[mongodb connection url]
  8. run flask run to start server

Database

  1. Create mongodb database with or name
  2. Create drivers collection
  3. Add 2dsphere index on loc field by running db.createIndex({"loc": "2dsphere"})
  4. drivers collections schema
{
    "name": "string",
    "license": "string"
    "loc": {
        "type": "Point",
        "coordinates": ["longitude", "latitude"]
    }
}

The loc field is GeoJson format you can read about it here https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/geojson/
