Node.js API Masterclass with Express and MongoDB - Geospatial Query - Get Bootcamps Within Radius

The video tutorial explains how to create a route and controller method to find boot camps within a specified radius of a ZIP code using geospatial data. It covers setting up the method, calculating the Earth's radius, and querying the database. The tutorial also demonstrates setting up routes and testing them using Postman, emphasizing flexibility in implementation and user-friendliness by using ZIP codes instead of latitude and longitude.

Explain what a geojson field is and how it relates to geospatial data.

Describe the process of calculating the radius of the earth in miles.

What parameters are required to get boot camps within a specific radius?

What are the different ways to handle distance units when querying boot camps?

How does the geocoder function assist in obtaining latitude and longitude from a ZIP code?

What considerations should be made when designing a user-friendly interface for boot camp location queries?

What is the significance of using the Geo within operator in the context of finding boot camps?

Discuss the expected response when querying for boot camps with a ZIP code that has no results.

Explain how to implement pagination and filtering when retrieving boot camps.
