# Wheel of Lunch
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/UsainBloot/wheel-of-lunch.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/UsainBloot/wheel-of-lunch)

Wheel of Lunch makes those difficult lunch decisions for you. Simply enter your location, spin the wheel and let the site suggest a place for lunch.

Under the hood, Wheel of Lunch uses *Google Places*, *canvas*, *geo-ip location*, a custom *REST API*, a decent amount of geometry, and an *auto-expanding search algorithm* to ensure that it returns 12 locations no matter where you are.

## Features

* **Range finder** to determine a suitable distance to search for the initial 12 places.
* Place results determined by **Google Places API**, returns 12 most relevant places
* **Get location** via Google Maps or by geo-ip location.
* **Get directions** to recommendation via Google Maps.
* View **rating** out of 5 for selected place
* **Click** and **draggable** wheel
* Search for **restuaraunts**, **food** or **bar**.
* **Shareable URL** (allows others to view the same results).
* **Dynamic Search** option to automatically increase search radius until the desired number of results has been found or when a user is in a rural area.

## Setup

### Prerequisites
* [Node](https://nodejs.org/)
* [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/)
* [Ruby](https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/)

### Installation

To install all requirement node modules and bower components

`npm install`

## Development

### Setup

`gulp` - Build public folder, scss to css, JavaScript linting and Browserify.

`gulp dev` - Same as `gulp` but also starts up a local server using BrowserSync.

`gulp serve` - Only starts up a local BrowserSync server.

### Framework

* [Gulp](http://gulpjs.com/) - Automated task runner
* [Browserify](http://browserify.org/) - Require modules in a node-like fashion
* [Hogan](http://twitter.github.io/hogan.js/) - Dynamic HTML templating
* [BrowserSync](http://www.browsersync.io/) - Easy synchronised local server for development

## Search Radius

When a user is in a rural area and the wheel can not find a suitable number of places within the default search radius, the search will increment until a suitable number is found.
