Considerations

Following are consideraitons that can be made for an app that helps with EV charging. What is currently unmarked will be implemented as iteration

• get list of charging stations from https://openchargemap.org/ API
• show surrounding charging stations
  • based on device location
  • as a list
  • based on given location (via mapbox.places API call)
  • on a map (via gmaps)
• call maps app to get directions
• start charging for select station
• refresh list of charging stations on pull-down
• user-friendly API handling
• consider key storage for list of charging stations if list gets too big
• more unit testing for utils and components
• consider react-navigation to better structure moving around
• work on unnecessary re-renders of map component
• consider memoization of expensive calculations
