Let's create an app that allows customers to order food online.

A few notes before we get started

• Fork and clone repo at https://github.com/constructorlabs/delivereat
• Start by building the simplest thing that works. Add to it as you go along. Test your application as frequently as possible to make sure it does what you expect
• Create a RESTful API for your service. Think about a good way to organise your API into nouns and verbs, which correspond to resources and actions
• Split your code into an API on the server and render data from server in browser
• Splitting out our application into an API and interface allows us to re-use the API. For example we could use it to create a native mobile app or allow third parties to place orders on our system
• Use unit tests where possible
• Commit frequently and push to Github
• Implement features one at a time
• Make sure your app is responsive, looks good and works well at different screen widths
• You may want to design the API first, before implementing the UI that uses and API

• Create a super basic express app that outputs "Hello World" from root path
• Create a free account with Heroku. It is a fantastic hosting platform that makes deployment easy and fun
• Follow the steps at https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-nodejs#introduction

Menu

• Design a menu for a restuarant such as food items, prices etc
• Create an API endpoint that returns a menu of items with prices available to order
• Create a page that displays the menu to the user using the API

Order

• Update the menu page to make it an order page
• It should allow the user to specify quantities of items to order
• It should add a delivery charge and display the total order cost
• Create an API to receive and save the submitted order

Admin

• The restaurant owner wants to be able to see all orders coming in
• When an order is ready to ship the restaurant owner needs to be able to mark the order as sent
• Create an API endpoint to receive and update order status

Extension

• Design and implement an extension of your choosing

Notification - extension

• Send the user an SMS using Twilio when their order is ready

Order history - extension

• Allow the user to see their order history. You could story order history for each phone number or email address
• Allow the user to re-order same items again
