The goal was to create a project from scratch using React and Google Maps JavaScript API. Besides that, some requirements was to add functionality using third-party APIs to provide information when a map marker or list view entry is clicked; Implement a list view of the set of locations; Provide a filter option; Display map markers identifying at least 5 locations; Overall, the application's interface should be intuitive to use; All data API's used in the application should load asynchronously, and errors should be handled gracefully;

I decided to show some of my favorites René Magritte and Salvador Dalí paintings from Surrealism movement(1920s). I hope to see all these paintings in person someday. 🙏
There is a mark for each of these paintings and also two marks in the middle of nowhere to say something about the artists. The project fetches data from a custom Google Fusion Tables, Wikipedia from Wikimedia REST API and Maps from Google Maps JavaScript API. The Service Worker used here is the one provided by Create React App. 👍
Tools:
Some tools that helped me a lot:
- create-react-app
- react-google-maps
- react-burger-menu
You can clone or download this repository.
npm install
REACT_APP_API_KEY=YOURGOOGLEMAPSKEY npm start(Linux, macOS - Bash)
set REACT_APP_API_KEY=YOURGOOGLEMAPSKEY && npm start(Windows - cmd)
- remove the line 5: [
"homepage": "https://dekisr.github.io/Udacity-FrontEnd-P05-MyNeighborhood",] from the package.json file - npm run build
- cd build
- use some tool to serve a local server like http-server
E.g.
npm install http-server -g
http-server -p 8000
You can change the 8000 to any port you want
