This application is created to facilitate food ordering. Group leaders can create their own dining groups, while users have the option to join existing groups. Additionally, they can enter a chat room to chat with everyone or chat with participants in a dining group. Hope you have a pleasant experience!
This website is built with Node.js, Express.js, WebSocket and MySQL. I've leveraged Sequelize, a Node.js ORM (Object Relational Mapping) tool, to interact with the database.The deployment is on AWS EC2, and use S3 for storage and RDS for data management.
Client: JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Handlebars.js
Server: Node.js, Express.js, RESTful API
Database: MySQL
Cloud Service (AWS): EC2, S3, RDS
Tools: WebSocket, Git, Passport.js
- Enhanced the efficiency of the ordering process by the concept of joining food groups, allowing everyone to simultaneously view the menu and place orders in real-time.
- Established a chatroom feature, enabling users to receive real-time updates on meal status. Additionally, the chatroom supported instant communication for both individual and group interactions.
- Adopted the easily recognizable route structure facilitated by the RESTful API style to manage the project with over 40 routes
- Implemented user authentication with the Passport package to prevent unauthorized access to the website via URLs for users who are not logged in
- Uploaded the project to the cloud, utilizing AWS EC2 to establish the environment, and S3/RDS to store data for sharing with users
- The root administrator has the capability to perform additions, deletions, and modifications for restaurants, as well as manage user and group leader permissions.
