Search Party is a hybrid app that takes a user on spontaneous adventures through geolocated scavenger hunts.
Some technologies we used:
- Angular 2 for component class based data binding and scalable, fast updates to UI
- Ionic 2 for a fast hybrid frontend
- Google Maps for maps and distance calculations
- Socket.io for real-time data handling
- neo4j for a highly scalable native graph database with data relationships
- bcrypt and jwt-simple for user authentication
- Node/Express server
Node v5.8.0+, Typscript, and Ionic 2 beta are required.
- As of 3/28/16, the line
///<reference path='../node/index.d.ts' />
needs to be added to the typings definition of socket.io.
- As of 3/29/16, the line
needs to be added to typings defintion of moment.
///<reference path="../moment-node/index.d.ts" />
Check out Search Party.
SearchParty is super awesome and uses Neo4j, "the world's leading graph database".
Here's how to get an instance going on your machine:
Install neo4j LINUX/MAC Version
Drag into your applications folder
Change filename to be “neo4j-3.0.0-M05” (or whatever the version is)
$ cd Applications/neo4j-3.0.0-M05
$ bin/neo4j start #starts neo4j instance in localhost
$ bin/neo4j stop #if you should want to stop the local instanceMake sure that the IP Address in server/db/neo/neo.js matches yours!
Now for the app itself:
Clone the repo and install the necessary node modules:
$ git clone https://github.com/EnglishMuffinLLC/SearchParty.git
$ cd SearchParty
$ npm install # Install Node modules listed in ./package.json
$ cd client
$ npm install # Install frontend Node Modeules listed in ./client/package.json
$ ionic serve # Serves up Ionic appRuns the server (by default found at localhost:8000).
