- Connected node app to Mongo DB database
- Imported data from Excel --> Google docs --> MongoDB
- Made Google calendar-style JSON objects from time data
- Exposed pantry schema to the front end
- Added search route that exposes all the pantries (pantry list) on site
- Created a Google Form for Inventory Submissions
- Geocoded addresses and connected database to Google maps
-

*Google Calendar ID *[email protected]
- Integrate text and email subscription notifications
- Create social plugins that allow users to tweet or post to Facebook when they donate
- Add search by location and time - Allow users to filter by either
- Return results ordered by proximity to current location (html5 location) or by time of day
- Hook up map view to search results
- Hook Google calendar API GET requests to search
- Flesh out pantry summary listing
- Deploy app to a server
- Script a way to add new pantries (from Google form) to MongoDB database. This is different from our original dataset.
- Find a way for new pantries to be added to dropdown in Google form for pantry requests.
- Clean up import script to make it more universally applicable.
- Finish cleaning time data for remaining ~60 pantries. Time is currently listed as e.g. "Every other tuesday from 2-5pm, last friday of month from 6-9pm" etc. Needs to be converted Google Calendar JSON format.
- Google OAuth 2.0 was difficult to work with. It's required for interacting with the Google calendars API.
- Adding new pantries will require some manual work, even with Google form, as we cannot make the form create the odd json-like object on which the parsing script for our database was built.
- Some addresses did not have all the data required to geocode them. Also, additional information in address field needs to be maintained (i.e. "Care of" instructions for drop-offs)
