Building Spatial Back-ends with Node.js and MongoDB
AGENDA
➔ Learn a bit about Node.js and Express
➔ Learn some MongoDB basics
➔ Build a location aware Job search application
➔ Go live with a Node.js MongoDB powered app in ~ 45 mins
Write an application and host it on internet

GOAL
CODE DU JOUR
https://github.com/shekhargulati/localjobs-nodejs
● You know JavaScript● You know Git● You like to write code rather than
managing servers.
ASSUMPTIONS
There are no stupid questions only stupid answers. So ask questions
ASK QUESTIONS
Node.js provides a purely event-driven , non-blocking infrastructure to script
highly concurrent programs.
NODE.JS
NODE.JS EXPLAINED
Node.js goal is to provide an easy way to build scalable network applications.
Some ex. Web servers , TCP servers, Streaming server , Realtime apps, etc.
NODE.JS GOAL
Node.js is Server Side JavaScript.
● It provides runtime environment● It provides a library
NODE.JS IS
● Non Blocking I/O● Based on Google's Chrome V8 engine● 40k + modules● Active community● Multi platform – Windows , Mac , and Linux● Use single language for both client and
server.● JavaScript is language of Web.
WHY NODE.JS
● Go to http://nodejs.org/ and click install.● Install the downloaded package.
INSTALLING NODE.JS
● Hello World● HTTP Server
NODE.JS IN ACTION
● Routing support● Template support● Error handling● Etc.
EXPRESS TO RESCUE
Web Application Framework for Node
● Install Express– npm install express -g
● Create a new Express application– express --sessions --ejs hello-world
MONGODB
18
Open Source NoSQL document datastore– JSON style documents
Schema-less– Each document is heterogeneous, and may have completely
unique structure compared to other documents
Fast and horizontally scalable Rich query language Rich documents Easy to get running Geospatial indexing
WHAT IS MONGODB
Database → Database
Table → Collection
Row → Document
Index → Index
STEP 4 : MONGODB TERMINOLOGY
DEMO TIME
21
What is it for? Find all the MongoDB jobs near me – Proximity Queries Find all the MongoDB jobs within Bangalore – Bounded
Queries Find all the MongoDB job at this location – Exact Queries
● Supports only two dimensional indexes. You can only have one geospatial index per collection. By default, 2d geospatial indexes assume longitude
and latitude have boundaries of -180 inclusive and 180 non-inclusive (i.e. [-180, 180))
GEOSPATIAL INDEXING BASICS
22
1) Put your coordinates into an array
{ loc : [ 50 , 30 ] } //SUGGESTED OPTION
{ loc : { x : 50 , y : 30 } }
{ loc : { foo : 50 , y : 30 } }
1) { loc : { lon : 40.739037, lat: 73.992964 } }
2) Make a 2d index
db.places.ensureIndex( { loc : "2d" } )
3) If you use latitude and longitude as your coordinate system, always store longitude first. MongoDB’s 2d spherical index operators only recognize [ longitude, latitude] ordering.
HOW TO MAKE IT WORK

APP DEVELOPMENT
LocalJobs : Location Aware Job Search App
Functionalities or User stories or Features
1. As an Employer , I should be able to register my company
2. As an Employer, I should be able to post jobs
3. As a Job seeker , I should be able to register myself with application
4. As a Job seeker , I should be able to search jobs near to my current location.
5. As a Job seeker , I should be able to apply a job
6. Etc...
APP -- USER STORIES
Prioritize the functionalities or user stories or features
– As an Employer, I should be able to post jobs
– As a Job seeker , I should be able to search jobs near to my current location.
– As a Job seeker , I should be able to see all the jobs
PRIORITIZE

rhc create-app localjobs nodejs mongodb-2.2 --from-code=https://github.com/shekhargulati/localjobs-nodejs.git
Lot of other tasks you can do with rhc – tail log, app management, cartridge management , ssh management , namespace management, etc. Run rhc -h for details
