Since I have started building this demo, I will also continue to add in more functionalities towards this demo app in the future.Airbnb founders had the right idea and business concept at the exact right time. However, the purpose of this demo app is to demonstrate how MongoDB and MongoDB Atlas can help to manage, index and search Geolocation fast, and there are a lot of applications to it. And since this is using the sample test data from MongoDB (only 5000+ documents), you might not be able find any property in a lot of places. If you click on 'Search' without keyword, it will show you the results 10km within the radius of Sydney. In this demo app, Sydney is set to the initial center location of the search. By providing keywords, it will further filter down those properties that match the 'name' field of the property. If you right click and select the location, it will try to find in a circle shape (you can define in your GeoJSON), and with a radius of 10km (you can also define thsi in GeoJSON). Click on the link to check out this demo app:īasically, both the search filters (keyword and the location selected) were combined to produce the search results. Creating different types of index fields were easy, as I found on YouTube the exactly thing that I wanted to do. In this app, user can search type in the keyword and pin the desired location (right click on the map), and while you type, it is retrieving data on the pre-indexed fields from MongoDB and presenting them as suggestions to the users.

Wanted to create an autocomplete (real time retrieval of database index field), but came across this available test dataset from the documentation ( geoWithin - MongoDB Atlas), and found out that this geoWithin is more powerful than I thought. It demonstrates the use case of geoWithin operator to perform geographical search in a smooth and fast way. This app makes use of the sample data sets of Airbnb, provided by MongoDB. This is a simple full stack demo app that was built with: Frontend: React, Material UI, Google Maps Javascript API Backend: Express (Node.js), MongoDB Atlas Database: MongoDB
