Inspiration
COVID 19 has majorly impacted our lifestyle. With conditions of lockdown/curfew, we are now forced to stay at home which has made our lives monotonous. Hence, we created this app which informs a person whether a place is safe to visit based on number of covid cases in the place.
What it does
This app tells the user about the active covid cases in a city and determines if it is safe to visit it. Moreover, it provides details of major tourist attractions along with address ,ratings and open/close time. It also tells the the user how to reach the destination via train and flight.
How we built it
The project is built using React framework and javascript. Google Places api was used to collect information and pictures of places and rapid api was used to collect data of covid cases in a district.
Challenges we ran into
We could not find suitable api for flight and train data between source and destination. We created only frontend and did not use any backend.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
This was our first react project and we were able to call data from google api to show details of tourist attractions and rapid api to show number of active covid cases which determined whether the place is safe to visit.
What we learned
We learnt about making data calls from an api in react and redirecting from one page to another in react.
What's next for Vacationer
As an extension to the web app, we can include more details such as best hotels, places to eat, places to shop etc. Also, we can use a person's current location and find covid positive cases near him. Such a feture can be used to find the number of covid cases in nearby tourist attractions suggested by the app. Backend can also be provided so that a user's data preferences and data are stored.
