locations2map

Extract Geographical Locations and Automatically links them to open maps.

To set up and run this application:

1. Set up the Flask backend:

pip install flask flask-cors spacy geopy
python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm

2. Set up the React frontend:

# Install required dependencies

3. Run both applications:

# Run Flask backend (in one terminal)
python app.py

# Run Next.js frontend (in another terminal)
npm run dev

Key features I've added:

1. Backend:

   • Uses spaCy for named entity recognition to find locations
   • Geocodes locations using Nominatim
   • Handles CORS for frontend communication
   • Deduplicates locations

2. Frontend:

   • Proper map cleanup on component unmount
   • Error handling and loading states
   • Responsive design using Tailwind CSS
   • Automatic map bounds adjustment to show all locations
   • Interactive markers with popups
   • Input validation
