HackDay 2015

Purpose

Walmart Labs sponsors a weekend of hacking on an idea you have.

Our idea was to create a service that allows speech input to search for Sam's Clubs locations or products.

Underling Technology

Walmart sent us to Angular U, and there was a workshop where we leanred to use Angular 1.4 + ES6 using Webpack and Babel. We adapted this approach for this exercise.

Installation

Install Node JS, which currently includes npm.

Running the app

npm i && bower i && npm run serve

Speech Commands

After pressing the listen button, the following commands are available:

    // find products
    show [product]
    display [product]
    search for [product]

    // find clubs
    find a club
    locate a club

2. The club locator will ask for your location, but the service is based on JSON fixtures, of which there is presently only one...
