Built with

• Backend : Ruby on Rails
• Frontend: React/Redux
• Database: PostgreSQL
• jQuery - Ajax
• Google Maps API

Features

• User Authentication

  • 

• Listings

  • 

• Bookings

  • 

• Reviews

  • Users can review Listings that they have successfully booked.

• Search listings by Location, Availability, and Google Maps

  • Users can search for Listings by location.

    • Using the gem 'geocoder', the location searched is converted from a string address to the latitude and longitude. These coordinates are then compared with each Listing's coordinates, and the Listings that are within a 50 miles radius are returned.

    geocoded_by :location, :latitude=>:lat, :longitude=>:lng
    after_validation :geocode
    # Location search
    if (params[:location] != nil && params[:location] != "")
      listings = listings.near(params[:location], 50)
    end

  • Users can search for Listings by Availability.

    • In order to filter Listings by the dates that are available to book, I used the bookings association on the Listing model. I filter out Listings that have overlapping bookings by comparing the user's prospective start_date and end_date to each booking's date.

    # Availability search
    listing.bookings.each do |booking|
        if !(params[:start_date] > booking.end_date.to_s ||
             params[:end_date] < booking.start_date.to_s)
          overlap = true
        end
    end

  • Users can search for Listings by changing the position of the Google Map.

    • As the bounds of the map change, I update the bounds filter that filters out Listings with coordinates not in the bounds of the map.

  # Google Maps search
  listings = bounds ? Listing.in_bounds(bounds) : Listing.all
  @listings = listings
  render :index
