Application Design

Directory structure

The top-level directory structure contains:

app/        # holds the Meteor application sources
config/     # holds configuration files, such as settings.development.json
.gitignore  # don't commit IntelliJ project files, node_modules, and settings.production.json

This structure separates configuration files (such as the settings files) in the config/ directory from the actual Meteor application in the app/ directory.

The app/ directory has this top-level structure:

client/
  lib/           # holds Semantic UI files.
  head.html      # the <head>
  main.js        # import all the client-side html and js files. 

imports/
  api/           # Define collection processing code (client + server side)
    base/
    interest/
    profile/
  startup/       # Define code to run when system starts up (client-only, server-only)
    client/        
    server/        
  ui/
    components/  # templates that appear inside a page template.
    layouts/     # Layouts contain common elements to all pages (i.e. menubar and footer)
    pages/       # Pages are navigated to by FlowRouter routes.
    stylesheets/ # CSS customizations, if any.

node_modules/    # managed by Meteor

private/
  database/      # holds the JSON file used to initialize the database on startup.

public/          
  images/M1/        # holds static images for landing page and predefined sample users.
  
server/
   main.js       # import all the server-side js files.

Development History

Milestone 1: Mockup development

This milestone started on the 5th of April 2019 to 11th of April 2019

The goal of Milestone 1 was to create a set of HTML pages to provide a mockup for the pages that will be in our application. This mockup was developed as a Meteor app. We then later deployed this mockups into Galaxy.

Deployment of Application in Galaxy

Mockups for the following pages were implemented during M1: Home Page:

Landing Page:

List Restaurants:

Milestone 2: Mockup development

Our goal for Milestone 2 was to add functionality to the Mockups that were created in Milestone 1. For starters, we added an AddRestaurant page and EditRestaurant page specific to Admin users. In addition, we also implemented a Restaurant Page that would display a specific restaurant’s information as well as its reviews. We also updated our Footer, NavBar, and Landing Page to match the website theme and functionality. Then, we finally made an Admin user that is able to add/edit/delete restaurants.

For the final milestone, our goal was to fix minor changes with the website dealing with aesthetics and implementing a couple functions for the users. One of the goals was to clean any errors in ESlint and any unnecessary files that was not related to our project. Another goal was to implement a search bar for users and admins to be able to search up any restaurants that was in our database. We also implemented a review system in order give powers to our users to give their opinions about restaurants in the database.
