Use Algolia Instant Search with GeoJSON + React JS - reactjs

Does anyone know how to connect Algolia Instant Search with an API/database? In all their examples they have their data sets connected to "indexName"- see below:
I can't seem to find how to configure a personal data set as an index.
Here is the link to the example repo I'm looking at:
https://github.com/algolia/react-instantsearch/tree/master/examples/geo-search
Algolia: https://www.algolia.com/
Instant Search: https://www.algolia.com/products/instantsearch

The Getting Started section of the Algolia Docs (Specifically the Indexing section) is likely a good place to start. This section will walk to you the various ways to create an index and fill it with data

Internal search bar in react

Hello to the entire stackoverflow community.
The first thing I have to say is that I am just a student and that I am starting to learn "React". With this in mind, I hope you are not too demanding of me.
After this, my question:
I am making a react with different components that basically has text inside the html tags in the render.
I would like to make a search engine that will locate any text in any component and redirect me to that point, but I don't know how to start.
I've been searching the web (with google, of course) and the truth is that I can't find anything that simply does what I want. All I find is to search in databases or queries, etc. But I can't find anything that is an internal content search engine to React.
Could someone tell me a tutorial or how to do this search engine in react?
Thank you very much for anticipating your responses.

MapBox using dynamic data points

I'm using MapBox to show several store locations on a page. My specific use case is a little complex for what I am initially seeing tutorials for on the Mapbox site.
I have a few pages, one page for each city. Each city page should have it's own map with different location points. (This is in React, so each city page is a template component using WP data).
Is there a way to either bring in data from an outside source (like WP) or use data from a json file in the React project? i haven't been able to find any information on how to do this so far.
There is most definitely a way to bring in data from an outside source or JSON file. I wrote a comprehensive guide, "A Complete Guide to Sources and Layers in React and Mapbox GL JS", that details how you can add different types of data to a Mapbox Map using React. You can find the guide here.
I also put together a Code Sandbox to accompany the guide which you can find here. The guide and code sandbox detail how to add spatial data from various sources (Mapbox hosted data, from a JSON file, from an API) and then how to display it as a layer. I figured it is easier to just link to both instead of writing a really long post here.
Hope this helps! I am also in the process of writing a comprehensive playbook for working with React and Mapbox in case you are interested! You can view it here.

Sharing location between two apps using firebase

I have a react native app in which i am using react-native-maps.I want to send the current location to firebase like it’s been done on this article using socketIO https://medium.com/#joycecyoj01/how-to-build-a-location-sharing-feature-using-react-native-and-socket-io-496413ee8065. Also i want to alert all users when one user has passed 100 meter from the current location. How can i do that?

How to add a powerful search functionality to my web app

I am building an app to browse events. The front end uses angular framework and the backend uses laravel.
How do I add a powerful search functianlity, wherein the user enter his query using an input element and I pass the same to laravel controller.
I now need to return relevant events based on the query.
As of now I am using a very basic algorithm - each word in a query is pushed into an array. Article's are discarded. Based on the length of the array, I try to match each words to some fileds in the table and return unique events.
Is there a better, faster and more efficient way of doing this.
You could use laravel-search
It has support for a few advanced search methods.
I recommend you to use Elastic search for your goals. You can find tutorial here: http://www.fullstackstanley.com/read/simple-search-with-laravel-and-elasticsearch. Also you can use good wrapper https://github.com/mmanos/laravel-search for elastic and another search engines.
Well you added the tag elasticSearch so I guess that's what you are interested in. ElasticSearch has no authentication system so the best way is to create a controller in Laravel that comunicates with elasticSearch a returns the JSON response.
A basic setup will not be hard to do, anything beyond that will need you to learn more advanced concepts of ElasticSearch.
ElasticSearch will handle the search algorithm for you, you just need to pass the value the user is searching and that's it.

How to find FILE_KEY in Parse?

I am migrating parse to other backend providers
There I come across the FILE_KEY requirement
So where can I get FILE_KEY parameter?
I checked in settings/Keys Section but I couldn't find the file key.
I also checked in Cloud section of parse's Dashboard but I could not find it over there also.
You need to update parse dashboard and then follow this link

I solve my issue using this because old parse dashboard not showing file_key.
Hope this will help to you too.
