This document discusses using MongoDB and Rails for geolocation and other NoSQL applications. It provides examples of geospatial indexing and querying in MongoDB and Mongoid. Some key points covered include: - Using MongoDB for its flexibility and support for geospatial indexing and queries. - Examples of near, within center, and within box queries in MongoDB and Mongoid. - Alternatives for geospatial support include Geohash, PostGIS, and SpatialLite. - The importance of just building applications without seeking approval.

13. Por que mongoDB?
fácil
flexível
cases
geospatial indexing

14. Cases
analytics, real-time, documentos, geo-location

15. Show me the code!

16. Preparando
$ gem install mongoid --pre
$ gem install bson_ext
Gemfile
gem "mongoid", "2.0.0.beta.16"
gem "bson_ext", "1.0.4"
$ rails generate mongoid:config

17. Geospatial Indexing
class Article
include Mongoid::Document
include Mongoid::Timestamps
field :title, :type => String
field :lead, :type => String
field :published_at, :type => Time
field :location, :type => Array
index [[ :location, Mongo::GEO2D ]], :min => 180, :max =>
180
index :published_at, Mongo::DESCENDING
end
db.articles.ensureIndex( { location : "2d"}, { min : -180,
max : 180 } )

18. Querying
near
Article.near(:location => [ -23.552314, -46.6500949 ])
db.articles.find( { location : { "$near" : [-23.552314,
-46.6500949 ] } } )

19. Querying
within center
Article.where(:location.within => { "$center" =>
[ [ -23.552314, -46.6500949 ], 10 ] })
db.articles.find({location : {"$within" : {"$center" :
[ [-23.552314, -46.6500949 ] , 10]}}})

20. Querying
within box
box = [ [40, 40], [60, 60] ]
Article.where(:location.within => { "$box" => box })
box = [[40, 40], [60, 60]]
db.articles.find({location : {"$within" : {"$box" : box}}}

21. Alternativas?
Geohash
PostGis (PostgreSQL)
SpatialLite (SQLite)

22. Just Build It: You don't need anyone's approval and in
fact, you probably won't get it, so don't even try
