MEAN-Geographic-Google-Maps

Using Google Maps + MEAN Stack to work with geometry Objects

This project is essentially a fork of @Ahmed Haque Making MEAN Apps with Google Maps available at https://github.com/afhaque/MeanMapAppV2.0

If you have ever wondered about using Google Maps Api in a Mean Stack Application and using geoSpatial Queries in MongoDB you can take this project as an example to kickstart your next application.

I made different changes to project's structure and added Polyline and Polygon support with some Geospatial Queries on the latter objects.

What you need to run the project:

• Node ~^4.4.7
• NPM ~^2.15
• MongoDB ~^3.2.7
• Bower ~^1.7.9

How to install bower and npm packages:

• Go on Project's folder
• run: bower install
• run: npm install

How to run the project:

• if you have nodemon: nodemon server.js
• else: npm start server.js

Remember to change Google-Maps-Key with yours.

Example of Geometry Objects

Point

{ "name" : "point1", "geo" : { "coordinates" : [ 52.483, 16.084 ], "type" : "Point" } }

LineString

{ "name" : "linestring2", "geo" : { "coordinates" : [ [ 38.232, 38.823 ], [ 70.576, 51.289 ], [ 91.67, 59.801 ], [ 91.318, 68.073 ] ], "type" : "LineString" } }

Polygon (it has to be closed -> first point coordinates == last point coordinates)

{ "name" : "polygon1", "geo" : { "coordinates" : [ [ [ 3.779, 9.276 ], [ 14.854, 15.115 ], [ 38.408, 17.309 ], [ 40.693, 7.711 ], [ 35.068, -7.885 ], [ 5.889, -9.622 ], [ 1.143, -3.689 ], [ 3.779, 9.276 ] ] ], "type" : "Polygon" } }

MongoDB Collection

I provided an example collection geometry-collection.json that is possible to import through tools like RoboMongo or MongoChef.
