Share and save your favorite Black Businesses in Toronto
Have an interactive Google Map with different business categories, the ability to add new stores, and the ability to filter based on these categories. Users should be able to save their favourite locations, and check in using HTML5 Geolocation API.

Finding a way to conviniently access Google API instance, without overtly comprimising secret key. Previously utilized a wrapper npm module "google-maps", before coming to a solution that involved creating an inline javascript file and appending it to the document. I was able to reduce my dependenies and functions call, making my app more efficient.
setupAPI: async(loader)=> {
if(!loader) {
var promise = new Promise(async(resolve, reject)=>{
let key = await Controller.getMapsKey();
let script = document.createElement("script");
let src = `https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=${key}&libraries=places,geometry&callback=googleReady`
script.src = src;
script.type = "text/javascript";
document.body.appendChild(script);
window.googleReady = () => {
google = window.google;
resolve();
};
});
return promise;
} else {google = loader;return}Testing client side code using node. Managed by mocking browser environment with JSDOM. Wrapping my head around the different configurations availables took a few late but nights. But I now consider it an invaluable tool for unit testing.
const jsdom = new JSDOM(`<!doctype html><head>
</head><body><div id="map" style="width:100%;height:800px"></div></body></html>`, {
url: 'http://localhost:8080/',
contentType: "text/html",
includeNodeLocations: true,
storageQuota: 10000000,
origin: 'http://localhost:8080/',
baseURI: 'http://localhost:8080/',
referrer: 'http://localhost:8080/',
pretendToBeVisual: true
});Next task is figuring out how to test my asychronous components. Examples seem to point towards mocking fetch requests.
npm install setup environment variables for MONGOLAB_URI & MAPS_KEY, optionally NUBIAN_KEY can be set for base user for local deployment, initialize an instance of mongod
