API:Nearby places viewer/ar

نظرة عامة
سوف تتعلم في هذا التدريب التعليمي كيفية البحث عن صفحات ويكي قريبة من موقعك مستخدما واجهة برمجة تطبيقات ميدياويكي التي تحمل اسم Action. تنزيل الكود المصدري من غت هب ابحث عن التطبيق في مصنع الأدوات This tutorial will teach you how to do this using:


 * هيكل Python وFlask
 * هيكل JavaScript وjQuery وBootstrap
 * وحدة واجهة برمجة تطبيقات ميدياويكي التي تحمل اسم Action البرمجية التي تحمل اسم
 * Geolocation API

الخطوة 1: تأسيس بيئة تطوير البرمجيات مستخدما بايثون وفلاسك
To set up the Python development environment for a Flask application, you will need to install Python, create a virtual environment and install Flask.

Here is how to set up the development environment for building the application:

Render a simple static page
Place the following code in

Drop this one line of code  in a HTML file inside the   folder:

 Note:  In this simple application, we are using  method which renders the template named   from the   directory.

Next run your flask app with the command  and open   to view your app in the browser. You should be able to see "Nearby places viewer" in your browser window.

Style your app
Let's do some app styling. Add a button element for accepting search input in the HTML file and link tags to load an external and internal stylesheet. External stylesheet, in this case, is the URL of a CSS file for a Google Font.

Replace the existing code in  with the following:

Place the following code in

Application layout
$HOME/nearby-places-viewer ├── templates/ │  └── places.html ├── static/ │  └── static.css ├── nearby.py └── venv/

Step 3: Obtain coordinates of your current location
As a first step, to search for wiki pages nearby, you will need to obtain coordinates of your current location. To do so, you can use the Geolocation API along with some JavaScript code.

When you click the Click here to search button, the app makes a call to the Geolocation API and retrieves the current position of your device via the API's  object. The API's response in return is a  object from which you can obtain the latitude and longitude.

 Note:  When your app makes a call to the API you will be notified and asked to grant permission to your browser to access your location.

Place the following code in

Link the custom JavaScript  and   from the   file:

Step 4: Send location data to the server with AJAX
This app uses jQuery's AJAX method to send the location data obtained in Step 3 to the server and POST it without page refresh to a Python Flask route  in.

As a next step, let's add AJAX call to the function  in.

 Note:  At this point, if you try to run your app, it is likely that you will see an error in the browser window as we have not added support to the route  to handle post requests.

Step 5: Fetch nearby places via MediaWiki Action API
First, extend the Python Flask route  in   to handle POST requests. You can do so by adding both GET and POST in the  argument list in the route decorator. Next, you can obtain location data available in  format from the   object and pass it to   function for further processing.

The code in the  function makes a   request to the Action API to search for wiki pages near a location. API call consists of an endpoint  and query string parameters. Some of the key parameters are:


 * main module to query information
 * query module's submodule  used as a  generator module to get search results for a set of pages
 * tells which properties to return for pages

 Note:  For more information on the geosearch module visit.

View complete Python and Flask code with import statements and processed  list. This app uses  package available in Python to calculate distance between two geographic coordinates.

Step 6: Create a user interface for list of places from JSON response
Handle the returned JSON data from the server in AJAX's  callback and use HTML DOM   property to alter the   contents.

View complete JavaScript code with AJAX success callback.

Step 7: Style changes with Bootstrap
You might have noticed that the code snippet in Step 6 uses Bootstrap class names. Yes, we are integrating the Bootstrap framework at this step to add a responsive layout design to the Places UI. To do so, let's make some more tweaks to CSS and HTML files.

View complete CSS and HTML code.
