1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,120
The course is coming to an end.

2
00:00:02,130 --> 00:00:09,500
But in order to keep your skills sharp it'll be important to continue using node j s so in this video

3
00:00:09,540 --> 00:00:11,420
we're gonna answer the question.

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,780
What should I build now.

5
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:20,490
Aside from building the applications that I originally drew you to learning node what I'm going to do

6
00:00:20,490 --> 00:00:26,850
is offer up three ideas for new features you could add to the apps that we've already created.

7
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,560
This will be a great place to get started.

8
00:00:29,700 --> 00:00:35,820
Now all of these features are quite a bit bigger than any of the challenges included in the course but

9
00:00:35,850 --> 00:00:40,320
all of them are 100 percent doable with what you've learned so far.

10
00:00:40,410 --> 00:00:47,040
So we'll go through all three features the first one is for the weather application so for this one

11
00:00:47,070 --> 00:00:49,590
users need to type in their location.

12
00:00:49,590 --> 00:00:56,100
What you're gonna do is allow them to instead click a button that button is gonna use the geo location

13
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:04,070
API similar to what we did with the chat application when we allowed users to share their current location

14
00:01:04,530 --> 00:01:09,060
so someone could type in their location like Philadelphia and hit search.

15
00:01:09,060 --> 00:01:15,090
Or they could click this other button when they do that it's automatically going to fetch their location

16
00:01:15,180 --> 00:01:20,910
with their permission of course then it'll go off to the server and get the correct forecast.

17
00:01:20,940 --> 00:01:27,720
So that is idea 1 combining something used in one of the other applications with the weather app.

18
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:32,960
The next idea is for the to do app location now in need to do application.

19
00:01:32,970 --> 00:01:35,590
Users can upload profile pictures.

20
00:01:35,590 --> 00:01:43,350
You learned how to work with melter to upload files your new feature idea for that app is to allow users

21
00:01:43,350 --> 00:01:46,950
to upload images for their individual to dos.

22
00:01:46,950 --> 00:01:53,430
So if I'm creating a to do such as let's say pay the bills I could include a screenshot of something

23
00:01:53,490 --> 00:01:54,840
as well.

24
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:59,510
Now you already know how to do that since you have used melter with the User model.

25
00:01:59,610 --> 00:02:04,240
All you'd be doing here is using melter with the to do model.

26
00:02:04,530 --> 00:02:11,640
Now the last idea is for the chat application and this idea is going to allow users to get into an active

27
00:02:11,660 --> 00:02:16,440
chat room quickly a chat room where there's already people inside of it.

28
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:21,900
Right now when you first visit the chat application you're brought to that page that asks you for your

29
00:02:21,900 --> 00:02:23,820
user name and room name.

30
00:02:23,820 --> 00:02:28,640
Now the user needs to provide both of those by typing in the input fields.

31
00:02:28,740 --> 00:02:36,000
What you're gonna do for this feature is also show them a dropdown so a select t AML element that is

32
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,170
going to have a list of all active rooms.

33
00:02:39,210 --> 00:02:46,830
So to get that done index dot H2 UML is going to need to connect to that socket Don I O back and so

34
00:02:46,830 --> 00:02:52,260
it can get the list of rooms and that means you'll have to add a javascript file and a little bit of

35
00:02:52,260 --> 00:02:55,670
code to get all of that done in the end of the day.

36
00:02:55,770 --> 00:03:02,910
When a new user visits the chat app they should be able to type in the room name manually or they should

37
00:03:02,910 --> 00:03:09,150
be able to pick from a list of rooms that currently have someone inside of them.

38
00:03:09,180 --> 00:03:09,930
All right.

39
00:03:09,930 --> 00:03:15,240
These three feature ideals will give you a few things to work on if you do go through the process of

40
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:19,080
completing any of these or you just have any questions.

41
00:03:19,110 --> 00:03:24,990
Let's go ahead and use the Q and A for this lesson as a place to post those things.

42
00:03:24,990 --> 00:03:31,410
Now if you end up adding any other new feature ideas to these apps or you end up building an entirely

43
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:37,950
new application altogether I know I would love to see it and I'm sure other students would as well just

44
00:03:37,950 --> 00:03:44,790
include a link to the demo application so we can mess around with the new features and include a zip

45
00:03:44,790 --> 00:03:48,970
of the code or a link to a github repository.

46
00:03:48,970 --> 00:03:49,380
All right.

47
00:03:49,380 --> 00:03:52,240
That should be a few things to keep you busy for now.

48
00:03:52,290 --> 00:03:54,840
Let's go ahead and move on to the last video.

49
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:59,280
Figuring out where we could go now in terms of learning something new.
