Project 2 - Yelp

Yelp is a Yelp search app using the Yelp API.

User Stories

The following required functionality is completed:

• Search results page
  • Table rows should be dynamic height according to the content height.
  • Custom cells should have the proper Auto Layout constraints.
  • Search bar should be in the navigation bar (doesn't have to expand to show location like the real Yelp app does).
• Filter page. Unfortunately, not all the filters are supported in the Yelp API.
  • The filters you should actually have are: category, sort (best match, distance, highest rated), distance, deals (on/off).
  • The filters table should be organized into sections as in the mock.
  • You can use the default UISwitch for on/off states.
  • Clicking on the "Search" button should dismiss the filters page and trigger the search w/ the new filter settings.
  • Display some of the available Yelp categories (choose any 3-4 that you want).

The following optional features are implemented:

• Search results page
  • Infinite scroll for restaurant results.
  • Implement map view of restaurant results.
  • Loading indicator displayed while fetching results.
• Filter page
  • Implement a custom switch instead of the default UISwitch.
  • Distance filter should expand as in the real Yelp app.
  • Categories should show a subset of the full list with a "See All" row to expand. Category list is here.
• Restaurant detail page
  • Implement the restaurant detail page. (Note: most of this page is not functional. My main focus was on replicating the Yelp UI, and getting the parallex effect/fade working.)

The following additional features are implemented:

• General
  • Add simple launch screen
• Search results page
  • Map view zooms to fit business annotations.
  • Scroll to top of list after new search or filtering of current search.
  • Animate between the table and map views.
  • Add an empty state when there are no results.
• Filter page
  • Sort by filter should expand as in the real Yelp app.
• Restaurant detail page
  • Implement a layout similiar to the actual Yelp app.
  • Add paralax to display image view when scrolling.
  • All icons on the business detail page created by me in Sketch App.
  • Scrolling down to pop business photo in a new photos modal.

TODO

• Save and populate filters unless a new search term was entered.
• Code refactoring.
