The code here is for an IBM Bluemix-powered demo called the Where? app. It helps to answer the "where" questions of life like where am I?, where can I go?, and where have others been? It is composed of two parts:
- Node.js backend for deployment to Bluemix which:
- Provides a REST API that:
- allows client apps to register a user's geolocation with the server (stored in a Cloudant NoSQL DB)
- retrieves the postal address associated with the location (using Pitney Bowes Reverse Geocoding)
- allows a user to retrieve a “travel boundary” from that location (using Pitney Bowes Travel Boundary)
- provides worldwide statistics for the most commonly “visited” cities (using the map-reduce capabilities of Cloudant).
- Leverages third-party Node modules including:
- Serves static resources (e.g., JavaScript, HTML, and CSS) in support of the web client
- Provides a REST API that:
- Web front-end written as a since-page app and using the following third-party frameworks or components:
A client for the Pebble Smartwatch is available in the separate bluemix-where-pebble repository. That code was written in JavaScript leveraging Pebble.js and using the CloudPebble IDE.
A tutorial for using the code in this repository is available on IBM developerWorks:
