##How it works

• Data
• Search

Data

Shout uses PouchDB's offline-first database library. Data entries are structured into three types, all stored as JSON objects.

1. Resources - These documents store general information about a resource, such as it's address, phone number, description, latitude, longitude, and a list of services. These documents are rarely modified after they are first created. Users cannot modify these documents as of latest version. The format of a Resource object ID is :"Resource_" + resource zip code + _ + resource name

2. Tags - These documents store all of the tags associated with a particular resource. They are a separate document, because tags can be frequently updated, downvoted, or upvoted by users. The format of a Tags object ID is: "tags" + _ + resource name

3. Feedback - Every new feedback (per user, per resource) is stored as a new Feedback object. These are expected to be frequently added by users, but never modified. The format of a feedback object ID is: "Feedback" + _ + name of resource + _ + current date

Creating ID's like so makes it easier to filter all of the feedback or tags associated with a particular resource purely by selecting documents that have an ID that starts with, for instance, the string "Tags_ExampleClinic" without actually searching the database.

Search

For search, Shout uses PouchDB quick-search in order to filter data.
