Pass by the food truck on your Lunch Walk. This is an implementation of the Food Truck Challenge.
Uses your browser's geolocation to find the 5 nearest (straight-line distance) food trucks to you and provides links with directions to each of them.
At the moment, the project is a Single Page App (SPA) written mainly in Elm and deployed using Netlify.
To deploy a development version of the app on your local machine (with live reload and running the amazing time travelling debugger), clone this directory, install netlify-cli (npm install -g netlify-cli) and then run netlify dev in the root directory.
You can deploy your own copy of this application to Netlify by clicking the button below.
Most of the functionality is written in the Elm programming language. The layout uses the popular elm-ui package.
Netlify is a powerful one-stop-shop for web development. This package deploys automatically on Netlify.
The package.json and package-lock.json files are only used to bootstrap the Elm toolchain.
While Elm is a compiled language that has its own dependency ecosystem (see elm.json), it is not a native language on Netlify. Luckily, the Elm compiler (and a helpful live-reload server named elm-live) are available as npm dependencies, which Netlify picks up from the package.json file.
That's about all we need to know about npm for this project.
