Project 2 : Restaurant FinderRestaurantFinder is a dynamic web application designed to help users discover and review restaurants in their area. Built with Ruby on Rails and leveraging the power of the Google Places API, this app offers a seamless experience for searching, filtering, and interacting with restaurant data. Key features include geolocation-based search, advanced filtering options (cuisine type, price range, and user ratings), user authentication, personalized favorites, and a review system. The application utilizes modern web technologies such as Stimulus for enhanced interactivity, Turbo for smooth navigation, and Tailwind CSS for responsive design. Integration with the Google Maps JavaScript API provides visual representation of restaurant locations, while caching mechanisms and optimized database queries ensure efficient performance. RestaurantFinder demonstrates the effective use of external APIs, user-generated content management, and responsive web design principles to create a comprehensive solution for restaurant discovery and review.
