Our browser app will send requests to the AdonisJS API, and if there’s no “nearby” data it will send a request to the Refuge API. Instead, we’re going to set up a simple AdonisJS caching API. What if 10 people made the same request, standing 10 meters apart from each other? It would be a waste to fire off 10 requests to the same remote server, when we could serve it faster from a caching proxy. There are all sorts of security reasons why this is disallowed. We can’t just call this from the browser, though. There are a few other parameters we could be specifying (like whether to filter by accessible and/or unisex facilities), but the main thing this gives us is a way to plug coordinates into a search and get close-by locations. In fact, we can make the following request, and see a set of facilities close to my location: curl ↵ We learn that we can search by latitude and longitude, by looking at the documentation.

Let’s begin by learning how to get the facility data, and the form we get it in. It has been tested with a modern versions or Firefox, Node, and macOS.

The code for this tutorial can be found on Github. Our job is to work out how to use this technology for commercial applications! That’s really the point of this isn’t it? The WRLD APIs provide tools to visualise real-world data in a map of the real world. Each building will have an info card for extra info (like how to reach the bathroom).Īt the end, we’ll talk a bit about how to turn this kind of app into a viable business.

Highlighting buildings with public facilities, colored to match their rating.

We’ll use the Google Distance Matrix API to calculate the distance between points of interest.

Requesting public facilities data, from, if there are no cached locations within 10 meters of the user.

Creating a simple AdonisJS server-side API (to cache location data and handle CORS requests).

In this tutorial, we’re going to cover these topics: If you’re unsure about how these work, refer back to the previous tutorial. We’ll also highlight buildings and set the appropriate weather conditions and time of day, depending on what they are for the user. For instance, we’ll use ParcelJS to build our static files, but we won’t go into too much detail about how to set it up again. We covered quite a bit of ground in the last tutorial, this time round, we’re going to reuse some of that learning. In 2010, bathroomreview.ca did just that (as described in Forbes). It’s not the first time someone has tried this mind you.

So, this time in the second tutorial of our WRLD series we’re going to build a… let’s call it a “facility finder app”.Ī sneak peek of what we’re going to build together In that episode of Seinfeld the visionary George invented an app before his time – the bathroom finder! If you’re a frequent traveller, a parent, or just someone who knows the importance of a clean and well-maintained space for some “serenity”, you’ll understand the utility of this idea. These are the words of George Costanza to Jerry Seinfeld in 1991. “Anywhere in the city? Anywhere in the city: I’ll tell you the best public toilet.” Thank you for supporting the partners who make SitePoint possible.
