This is an application created to find trending hashtags in different locations across the world. It was created to help those interested in being trendy and who are curious in pop culture across multiple geographic locations.

Ambitions to be implemented in the future

• Add more data. We were able to pull a very specific type of data; global tweet volume and trending topics based on location. In the future we would like to work with more data in order to help make the graph more useful.
• Add a search bar functionality. In the future we would like to allow users to search any hashtag and get a return on the twitter volume.
• Add functionality to enter a hashtag and the application would return locations where the hashtag is trending.
• Add an separate API from other social media sites.

Development server

Run ng serve for a dev server. Navigate to http://localhost:4200/. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.

Code scaffolding

Run ng generate component component-name to generate a new component. You can also use ng generate directive/pipe/service/class/module.

Build

Run ng build to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory. Use the -prod flag for a production build.

Running unit tests

Run ng test to execute the unit tests via Karma.

Running end-to-end tests

Run ng e2e to execute the end-to-end tests via Protractor. Before running the tests make sure you are serving the app via ng serve.
