houjieth / restaurantfinder

A single page app for searching restaurants.

HOW TO RUN

Simply host index.html, app.js and app.css under the same folder. Open your browser and points to the host folder.

HOW TO USE IT

You can search using the following fields:

<City>        e.g. "San Francisco, CA"

<Zip>         e.g. "98109"

<Latitude>    e.g. "40.0"
<Longitude>   e.g. "-122.0"
TIPS: You may not want to manually input that. Just click "Locate me" and the browser will fill it for you.

<Food Type>   e.g. "Wok"
TIPS: You can manually input food type, or select one from the dropdown menu.

Then click "Search" button. The first 50 result will be listed.

HOW DID I MAKE IT

I just want to make a single page application with all the logic and code running in the browser. To do this, I mainly used Backbone for data modeling, templating, rendering and making ajax call to the server. I also use some jQuery to handle button click events and UI responsiveness.

WHY IT LOOKS SO NAIVE

Didn't spend long time on coding. So please bare with the rough edges when using it.
