WhatsCooking

Restaurant Finder application for NYC demonstrating Atlas Search Features. Uses React and Tailwind.

What's Cooking implements many Atlas Search features from autocomplete to custom function scoring. Using the $search operator in a MongoDB aggregation pipeline, we can build fine-grained searches across text, numerics, and geospatial data. By building out What's Cooking, you'll learn all sorts of ways MongoDB allows you to build complex, fine-grained full-text searches on your Atlas data.

No additional servers or software needed. No need to keep data in sync. Everything is done in MongoDB Atlas.

  • fuzzy matching
  • highlighting
  • autocomplete
  • range queries
  • geoqueries
  • facets
  • relevance-based scoring
  • custom function scoring

Check out the video of the MongoDB .Live keynote to see a demonstration of all the features or visit the link below to play around with the finished application, hosted entirely in MongoDB Atlas:

www.atlassearchrestaurants.com

This application is hosted entirely by MongoDB Atlas was created using:

  • React
  • Tailwind CSS
  • A modified sample dataset based on MongoDB's Atlas sample_restaurants dataset

Currently this app is not suitable for mobile, but feel free to send a PR. ?

Prerequisites

  • A MongoDB Atlas account. Get one for free here.
  • A recent version of Node.js and npm.
  • Restaurant sample dataset.
  • (Recommended) MongoDB Compass - GUI

You can read and download the dataset using the MongoDB Shell, any MongoDB driver, or my favorite MongoDB Compass using the following URI:

  
mongodb+srv://mongodb:[email protected]/whatscooking

It is also included in this repo's Supplemental Files branch as

To Build This Application...

Prepare Data

  1. Load data to Atlas cluster:
    • database: whatscooking
    • collection: restaurants
  2. Create Search indexes. (Index definitions includes in `supplement-files` .)

React Components....

Using Realm as Your Serverless Backend....

What's Cooking uses HTTP services in Realm to create 2 APIs to allow you to query for your restaurant data over HTTP:

  • getRestaurants called from the useHomeFetch.js hook.
  • getRestaurantsAutocomplete called from the Autosuggestions.js component.

Find the Realm application and code for these webhooks in the supplement-files branch in a folder called WhatsCookingRealm
