* Add Airbnb Demo

This demo was created to demonstrate how Realm can be used as a cache for search results.
It also shows various statistics in terms of disk usage and how much space the cache is using.

# An MBnB Listing Search Demo with Searchable Results when Offline Using Atlas Device SDK for React Native

A demo application showcasing how to use [MongoDB's Atlas Device SDK for React Native](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/realm/sdk/react-native/) in order to cache viewed collection items and view them offline. It uses [anonymous authentication](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/app-services/authentication/anonymous/) to create a session which allows the demo user to search for MBnB listings from the [Sample AirBnB Listings dataset](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/sample-data/sample-airbnb/).

## Use Cases

This app focuses on showing how to cache viewed collection items and view them offline.

### Note: Using Multiple Realms at the Same Time

This app uses multiple Realms, which have been configured using `createRealmContext`. This creates separate providers and hooks to access either the local-only Realm or the synced Realm.

#### Realm Configuration

When [opening a Realm](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/realm/sdk/react-native/sync-data/configure-a-synced-realm/), we can specify the behavior in the Realm configuration when opening it for the first time (via `newRealmFileBehavior`) and for subsequent ones (via `existingRealmFileBehavior`). We can either:
* `OpenRealmBehaviorType.OpenImmediately`
* Opens the Realm file immediately if it exists, otherwise it first creates a new empty Realm file then opens it.
* This lets users use the app with the existing data, while syncing any changes to the device in the background.
* `OpenRealmBehaviorType.DownloadBeforeOpen`
* If there is data to be downloaded, this waits for the data to be fully synced before opening the Realm.

This app opens a Realm via `RealmProvider` (see [AppWrapper.tsx](./app/AppWrapper.tsx)) and passes the configuration as props. We use `OpenImmediately` for existing Realm files in order to use the app while offline.

> See [OpenRealmBehaviorConfiguration](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/realm-sdks/js/latest/types/OpenRealmBehaviorConfiguration.html) for possible configurations of new and existing Realm file behaviors.
## Getting Started

### Prerequisites

* [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/)
* [React Native development environment](https://reactnative.dev/docs/environment-setup?guide=native)
* Refer to the Expo section.

### Set up an Atlas Database with a Sample Dataset

1. [Deploy a free Atlas cluster](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/getting-started/#get-started-with-atlas) and create an Atlas database.
2. [Load the Sample Airbnb Dataset](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/sample-data/) into your Atlas database.
* Several databases and collections exist in the sample dataset, but we will only be using the `sample_airbnb` database and its `listingsAndReviews` collection.
3. [Create a Search Index](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/atlas-search/tutorial/create-index/) with an Index Name of `mbnb`. This will be used for Atlas Search within the application.

### Set up an Atlas App Services App via CLI

To import and deploy changes from your local directory to App Services you can use the command line interface:

1. [Set up App Services CLI](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/app-services/cli/).
2. In the provided [backend directory](./backend/) (the App Services App), update the following:
* Cluster Name
* Update the `"clusterName"` in [data_sources/mongodb-atlas/config.json](./backend/data_sources/mongodb-atlas/config.json) to the name of your cluster.
* (The default name is `Cluster0`.)
* App ID
* There is no `"app_id"` defined in [mdb/meta.json](./backend/mdb/meta.json) since we will create a brand new App. **If** you for some reason are updating an existing app, add an `"app_id"` field and its value.
3. [Create and deploy](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/app-services/cli/appservices-push/) the local directory to App Services:
```sh
appservices push --local ./backend
```
4. Once pushed, verify that your App shows up in the App Services UI.
5. 🥳 You can now go ahead and [install dependencies and run the React Native app](#install-dependencies).

### Install Dependencies

From the project root directory, run:

```sh
npm install
```

### Run the App

1. [Copy your Atlas App ID](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/app-services/reference/find-your-project-or-app-id/#std-label-find-your-app-id) from the App Services UI or from [./backend/meta.json](./backend/meta.json).
2. Paste the copied ID as the value of the existing variable `appId` in [./sync.config.js](./sync.config.js):
```js
export const SYNC_CONFIG = {
// Add your App ID here
appId: "<YOUR APP ID>",
};
```
3. Start Metro (the JavaScript bundler) in its own terminal:
```sh
npm start
```
4. In another terminal, start the app:
```sh
# Open the app on an iOS simulator.
npm run ios

# Open the app on an Android emulator.
npm run android
```

> To run the app on an actual device, see React Native's [Running on Device](https://reactnative.dev/docs/running-on-device).
## Troubleshooting

A great help when troubleshooting is to look at the [Application Logs](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/app-services/activity/view-logs/) in the App Services UI.

### Permissions

If permission is denied:
* Make sure your IP address is on the [IP Access List](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/app-services/security/network/#ip-access-list) for your App.
* Make sure you have the correct [data access permissions](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/app-services/rules/roles/#define-roles---permissions) for the collections.

### Removing the Local Realm Database

Removing the local database can be useful for certain errors.

On an iOS simulator:
1. Press and hold the app icon on the Home Screen.
2. Choose to remove the app and its data.

On an Android emulator via Android Studio:
1. Quit the emulator if it is running.
2. Open `Device Manager`.
3. Select `Wipe Data` for the relevant emulator.
