This app was created to get familiar with GM Drive First Framework. You can find more information about it here.
Given the amount of time to create this app I had to leave out a couple features. In the future more languages could be supported, as well as better error handling of the app, such as checking network connectivity and failed API requests. Further better testing could be done around these implementations.
You will need to install the GM NGI Emulator found here. Further you will need to aquire a Google Places API Key and a Alternative Fuel Stations API.
Next you can clone this repoistory and install the dev packages
npm install
You will need to put key in a .env.json file at the root of the project like so
// ./.env.json
{
"GOOGLE_PLACES_API_KEY": "...",
"GOV_ALTERNATIVE_FUEL_API_KEY": "..."
}
I have provided these for a short period of time
Next install the app in the NGI Emulator by going to the File > Open App and Navigating to the Folder you cloned this repository to. You should now be able to open the App within the Emulator.
The user is initially presented with the main page showing the options to tune the settings or search for gas stations.
The user can change the following settings, language, fuel type, or units
The app supports using the language from the English, Spanish, and French.
The app supports search from a variety of alternative fuel, as well as regular gasoline. The full list can be seen in src/config.js
Finally the app supports getting the distance to the gas stations in miles or kilometers
The user can search for gas stations close to the vehicle by clicking the Search button. This will pull up a short list of local gas stations, sorted by distance.
Upon clicking on a station, the user will be given the option to navigate to that station automatically.
