Create, edit, delete, view map locations with react and google maps API.

Preview

URL: https://react-map-app.netlify.com/
Source: https://github.com/antekai/ct-med-map/

e2e test preview (userflow - User adds new location)

Installation

Install Node.js, Git and then:

git clone https://github.com/antekai/ct-med-map.git react-map-app
cd react-map-app
yarn install
yarn start

Note: You have to set google map api key.

// Replace gMapKey with your own key
// src/Map/GoogleMapWrapper.js
const gMapKey = `${process.env.REACT_APP_GOOGLE_MAP_API}`;

Testing

You need to have open instance of application at localhost:3000 before using cypress. Run yarn start and then on another terminal instance run:

yarn cy:open

End-to-End tests with cypress simulate realistic user interaction with the application. There are no stubs but real request to backend (Firebase) and Map API. Please play around sparingly

User-features

• Create, view, edit, delete map locations (React.js)
• Validate user input (getFieldDecorator, regex)
• View (synced) map locations with Google map api (React.js, react-google-maps)
• Save/load map locations to/from a backend api (axios, firebase)

Technical-features

React-map-app architecture

• Design Considerations: Scalability, Portability, Maintainability
• UI: ant-design and vanilla css (flexbox layout)
• Module-based folder structure and path-based component naming
• Local state management (React.js)
• Type checking (prop-types)
• Integration, End to end(E2E) tests (cypress.io)
• Management with automated Kanban (github project)
• Continuous Deployment (Netlify CD)
• Continuous Integration (Travis CI)
• Automated versioning (semantic-release)
• Monitor bundle - report: wba-report.html (webpack-bundle-analyzer)
• Unit, integration tests (jest, react-testing-library, wallaby)
• Fallback for no 3rd party map api
• Fallback/alternative map api (mapbox)
• Fallback/alternative backend api (express.js)

Portability

The application was designed without tight coupling to backend or map APIs. Further information about switching backend or/and map APIs follows below.

Backend

Any REST api is compatible with this application. Steps to use another API:

1. Create a new axios instance at src/axios.js with your configuration (baseURL, headers config)
2. Replace the GET request at componentDidMount() and the PUT request putToFirebase() method of the MapScreen component (src/Map/Screen.js) using the new axios instance.

3rd-party Map API

To change from google-maps to another 3rd-party MAP API follow the steps:

1. Create a new react-component to handle the rendering of the map based the new 3rd-party MAP API.
2. Replace <GoogleMapWrapper/> and <Marker/> references at the MapScreen (src/Map/Screen.js) component

class MapScreen extends React.Component {
.....
render(){
.....
const dataToMarkers = this.state.data.map((item, i) => (
     <Marker
       key={i}
       position={{ lat: item.lat, lng: item.lon }}
       title={item.name}
     />
   ));
return (
     <div className={`flexContainer margin-1`}>
       {/*** MAP COMPONENT ***/}
       <div className="flexItem">
         {this.state.gMapError ? (
           `GoogleMapAPI error - put fallback component here`
         ) : (
           <GoogleMapWrapper>{dataToMarkers}</GoogleMapWrapper>
         )}
       </div>
       ....
       )
}}
