Sample JavaScript Application Part 2 - Data Modeling
Overview
In the last segment, we implemented a simple map user interface we could use to find certain areas on the map and show markers for them. This time, we'll look at connecting a database to the backend, allowing us to click on the map to add comments to a latitude / longitude coordinate on the map, then allow others to see all the data that's been added to the map. We won't implement login yet, but leave it open for now.
If you're just seeing this, you should start with the first article in the series instead: Sample JavaScript Application Introduction.
These instructions assume you're starting from the application we setup in the previous article: Sample JavaScript Application Frontend Part 1. If you don't have that handy, you'll need to follow the instructions in the previous article to get a project configured that points to your own Firebase project on Google Cloud.
