= Geolocation App

This geolocation app demonstrates the use of PostGIS.

PostGIS is a spatial database extender for PostgreSQL object-relational database. It adds support for geographic objects allowing location queries to be run in SQL.

The app accepts file uploads, stores the records in a database, and then displays a list of locations ordered by distance from a given point (lat/lon).

== Development

=== Rules of the road

This project attempts to follow Sandi Metz's Rules.

A [description of the rules here](http://robots.thoughtbot.com/post/50655960596/sandi-metz-rules-for-developers).

=== Dependencies

        $ Rails 4.0.0

        $ Ruby 2.1.1

        $ PostgreSQL 9.2

        $ PostGIS

=== Setup

1. Install Homebrew packages.

        $ brew install postgres --no-python

2. Follow post-install instructions for loading launch agents.

        $ brew info postgres

        

3. To enable PostGIS once connected to your PostgreSQL 9.2 database run:

        $ CREATE EXTENSION postgis;

        

4. Create a application.yml file under /config and add your ENV variables. Mine looks like this:

        

        $ LOCAL_PG_USER: "carlisia"

        $ LOCAL_HOST: "localhost"

        $ GEO_SUPERUSER: "geo_rails_test_creator"

        $ GEO_SUPER_PWD: "geo_pwd"

        $ GEO_USER: "geo_rails_test_creator"

        $ GEO_PWD: "geo_pwd"

4. Install RVM.

        $ \curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby

5. Get the code.

        $ git clone [email protected]:carlisia/geolocationapp.git

6. Verify that the app is up and running.

        $ open http://localhost:5000

        

=== To-do list

        $ Better error handling and reporting

        $ Better test coverage

        $ Hookup to Code Climate

        $ Document the API

        # Better document environment configuration

        # Document deployment
