Week 12 - August 4th

Goals

  • Complete detailed summary / example tutorial document detailing how Spatial Cypher, as implemented thus far, can be used
  • Begin demo project to showcase how Spatial Cypher can be used
  • Implement additional spatial querying

Progress

  • Began writing tutorial document (available here: https://github.com/johnymontana/neo4j/wiki/tutorial )
  • Designed plan for demo app and began implementing. Demo will use data from the Yelp Academic Dataset on businesses. A map frontend using leaflet will allow the user to select business categories and draw a polygon on the map. This will send an ajax request to a Neo4j instance that will execute Spatial/Cypher queries to find businesses within this polygon and category. Finally, markers will be added to the map with business detail information. This project will provide a nice end-to-end example of how Spatial Cypher can be used for a (somewhat) real world application. Initial version of the demo web app is available here: http://spatialcypherdemo.herokuapp.com/ Note that there is no backend yet so no markers will appear after a polygon is drawn.
