Hey! This is the most simple and easy example to show the power of Laravel 5.5, VueJS 2.5 and Vuetify 0.17.

This application was coded following the instructions provided to complete the Hidden founders coding challenge.

Nearby shops is a PHP & Javascript application, so you will need to have a well configured HTTP server. If not then you should configure one before going any further.

You will need to complete an easy 3 steps deployment process:

You will need to clone this repository on your public directory:

git clone https://github.com/badry-abderrahmane/shops.git

The next thing to do is installing the required dependencies, run the following command :

composer install

And you need to generate a key for the application, you could do that by running:

php artisan key:generate

Note: If you wish to use the existing Test Database keep the parameters as they are in the config file. It already contains the needed collections.

I did choose to implement a MongoDB database to keep it simple and clean. The database configuration is located in : config/database.php, you will need to set the "port" and "dsn" as below:

	'mongodb' => [
	            'driver'   => 'mongodb',
	            'port' => ,
	            'dsn' => '' => '',
	        ],

You will need also to run the migration command:

> php artisan migrate

You will need also to load the dump data for test running the command below

mongorestore --drop -d db_name -c collection_name path/file.bson

As we are dealing with locations you should add a "2dsphere" index on the shops collection

You need to run this command below

> php artisan serv
