Scooter Locator

Steps to test the application

1. Starting the Database

   Build the database image

   cd data
   docker build -t scooters-postgis-image .
   

   Run the image

   docker run -d --name scooters-postgis-container -p 5555:5432 scooters-postgis-image
   

   If the external port is changed (other than 5555), change the server/.env file PG_PORT=<NewPort>

2. Backend code is present in the server folder. Backend is configured to run at port 4000.

   Install dependencies

   npm install
   

   Start the backend

   npm start
   

3. Front end code is present in the client folder Install dependencies

   npm install
   

   Start the frontend

   npm start
   

Test Instructions

Your goal is to code a system that can fetch the closest x scooters for a given lat,lon within y meters and plot it on a map. This exercise will include front-end, backend and data storage, and you can choose any technology you’d like for each.

Steps:

1. Create the data storage for the scooters and populate data for scooters placed randomly throughout Singapore.
2. Write a backend service that can provide data to the front end for plotting the closest x scooters within y meters of a given lat,lon
3. Write front end that allows you to set: x scooters y search radius lat, and long It should fetch the data based on these params from the backend service, and it should plot on a map.
