How it works

Cloud functions

All requests to filter stores by geoposition are send to a cloud function as a web service. Storelocatorjs includes the cloud functions project from Google Firebase located in the ./functions folder.

Structure

The extended usage of the Storelocatorjs with filters and store categories used a minimalist HTML structure.

<div class="storelocator">
    <div class="storelocator-loader"></div>
    <div class="storelocator-sidebar">
        <form class="storelocator-formSearch" name="form-search">
            <input type="text" class="storelocator-inputSearch" placeholder="Enter a location" autocomplete="off" />
            <div class="storelocator-formFilters">
                <div class="storelocator-formFiltersRow">
                    <div class="storelocator-formCheckbox">
                        <input type="checkbox" id="cat-1" data-filter checked="checked" value="1" />
                        <label for="cat-1" class="category-1">Categorie 1</label>
                    </div>
                    <div class="storelocator-formCheckbox">
                        <input type="checkbox" id="cat-2" data-filter checked="checked" value="2" />
                        <label for="cat-2" class="category-2">Categorie 2</label>
                    </div>
                </div>

                        <input type="checkbox" id="cat-3" data-filter value="3" />
                        <label for="cat-3" class="category-3">Categorie 3</label>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
        </form>

                        List
                    </button>
                </li>
            </ul>
