How to run FoodOrderingApp locally

Setup

• Download Visual Studio Code and install ASP.NET, .NET and mobile development with .NET

• Download SQL Server and SSMS. Then run the installer SQL server first and SSMS second.
• Turn on Internet Infomation Services feature for Windows only (I don't know if Mac and Linux need to turn it on :v )

• Go download Git if you haven't already.

Run the code

• Go to your desired directory to download the FoodOrderingApp. Run the command git clone git@github.com:Binh2/FoodOrderingApp.git in the terminal.
• Run the Food_Table_Management.sql first and Food_Proc_Management.sql second in SSMS to make a new database and add procedures.
• Change IP variable to your localhost address in ./WEBAPI/Models/Constants.cs, add your own connection string and publish the WebAPI.
• Finally, change IP variable to your localhost address in ./FoodOrderingApp/FoodOrderingApp/Model/Constants.cs and run the code in Android (I have never try for IOS :v ).

My process

Built with

• Xamarin: Views, Models, Shell, TapGesture, SwipeView, Events, Commands, Binding properties, Converters, ObservableCollection, Linq,...
• WebAPI controllers/ASP.NET
• SQL tables, procedure, foreign keys,...

Continued development

If this project for some reasons become more popular, I will try to improve this project. Here are some improvements that could work:

• Code structure: Use MVVM (currently only use models and views. No View model yet).
• Functionality: Add another version of the app for Producer, the person that make food.
• Functionality: Add another version of the app for Admin
• Functionality: Add map for display location, insert location.
• Functionality: Sign up page send real mail to email address to confirmation.
• Functionality: Add comment section to FoodDetailPage, display nested comment and write comment.
• Functionality: Add preference so the user don't have to sign again after signing in for the first time.
• Visual: Make all pages have the same style/feel.
• Security: implement UAC
• Security: Don't store password in plain text.
• Error: JsonConvert doesn't convert bool correctly (bool is serialize to 'true' instead of 1 and 'false' instead of 0)

Self assessment

• Take a lot of time to fix WebAPI error.
• Didn't git push a lot.
• Waste too much time trying out to constructing a 'all table' controller.
• Self score: 9/10
