Welcome to the last video of this section. 2

2

so we finished the Mapty project, 3

3

but to finish the section, 4

4

I just wanted to quickly address some additional features 5

5

that we could have implemented in this application. 6

6

And basically, I'm gonna leave them for you as challenges 7

7

if you'd like to spend some more time on this project. 8

8

And the first couple of features that you could implement 9

9

would be the ability to edit any workout 10

10

or to delete a workout 11

11

or also to delete all the workouts right from 12

12

the user interface. 13

13

So this is something that you can do 14

14

in most Web applications. 15

15

And so therefore, you could also add that ability here. 16

16

We didn't implement this together in this application 17

17

because I just wanted to keep things more simple here 18

18

and not to create a super huge application 19

19

that would take ages to build. 20

20

Now next up, you could add the ability 21

21

to sort workouts by a certain field, 22

22

for example, by distance or by duration. 23

23

And this one would be probably a little bit tricky 24

24

to implement, but you can take inspiration 25

25

from the Bankist application where I believe 26

26

we did something like this. 27

27

Now, another thing that you could do is to actually rebuild 28

28

the Running and Cycling objects that are coming 29

29

from Local storage. 30

30

So basically you could fix that problem that we run into 31

31

by the end of the last lecture 32

32

where the objects coming from local storage 33

33

were now regular objects 34

34

and no longer running and cycling objects. 35

35

So this would be a nice challenge for you to do 36

36

and to basically fix that error. 37

37

Another nice touch that you could use to this application, 38

38

is to create more realistic error messages 39

39

and confirmation messages. 40

40

So we just used a simple alert window 41

41

to display an error message when the input data 42

42

was not valid. 43

43

Right? 44

44

But that's kind of ugly and not really real world like. 45

45

And so therefore, 46

46

you could implement more realistic messages 47

47

and maybe you could even have them fade out 48

48

after some time. 49

49

So that would be a nice use case of some of the things 50

50

that we already learned before. 51

51

Okay, so these are the more easier ones. 52

52

Let's take a look at a couple of hard ones. 53

53

So first, you could add the ability to position the map 54

54

so that it shows all the workouts. 55

55

So let's say that you went to a different country 56

56

and did some workouts there. 57

57

And so your workouts are all over the map. 58

58

And so therefore, it would be nice to have a button 59

59

which shows all the workouts on the map at once. 60

60

However, to solve this problem, 61

61

you would probably have to do a lot of Googling 62

62

about the Leaflet library 63

63

and dig deep into the documentation. 64

64

Because of course, this functionality would depend entirely 65

65

on the Leaflet library. 66

66

Right? 67

67

Okay, but still, this would be actually nice to see, 68

68

but let's see another one, 69

69

which would probably be even harder, 70

70

which is the ability to draw lines and shapes 71

71

instead of simply having a point for each workout. 72

72

So this would be a real challenge 73

73

and maybe it wouldn't be such a good idea 74

74

to actually try this one out. 75

75

But still, I wanted to just leave this here 76

76

as a potential improvement to this application. 77

77

So when you go on a run, of course, the run is not just 78

78

on a point, but it's more like on a line 79

79

or maybe like a circular shape or something like that. 80

80

And so it would be nice to have that 81

81

instead of just a point. 82

82

And finally, I have two more challenges 83

83

to improve this project that you could only implement 84

84

after the next section. 85

85

But let me still show them here. 86

86

So you could Geocode location from the coordinates. 87

87

So you could use a third party API 88

88

to plug in the coordinates, 89

89

and that would then give you back the real location. 90

90

So, for example, you could then call the run, 91

91

a "Run in Faro, Portugal" 92

92

Because the third party Web API 93

93

would give you that location data. 94

94

So a description of the location, 95

95

not just the raw coordinates. 96

96

And then besides that, you could also use a third party API 97

97

to display the weather for the work out time and place. 98

98

But again, these two you can maybe tackle after 99

99

the end of the next section, 100

100

if you feel like improving this project even more. 101

101

All right. 102

102

So it would be really great to see some of these features 103

103

actually implemented by you. 104

104

And if you do one of them or even more, 105

105

then make sure to share your results in the course Q&A 106

106

or even on Twitter. 107

107

And there you can use one of the hashtags 108

108

that I mentioned earlier. 109

109

But anyway, that's it for this video and for the section 110

110

and for this project. 111

111

So once again, congratulations 112

112

for reaching the end of this project 113

113

and even more for sticking with this course 114

114

all the way up to this point. 115

115

What an amazing achievement, really. 116

116

I cannot overstate this, and I'm really happy for you 117

117

and for all your progress. 118

118

And now just keep going, because the next section 119

119

is actually one of the most important ones 120

120

in the whole course. 121

121

So I hope to see you there very soon.
