Ionica Wine Cellar

The website created for this project is a wine wholesale website mainly utilized to showcase wines, production origin and wholesale/retail. Users can get more information and tips about wine&food matching, wine tasting events, each wine type and eventually purchase wines via a simple order process, being a front-end only application, the order confirm only visually to the user that the order has been placed, without performing any task once this has been completed.

This is a single page web application built using the AngularJS as main javascript Framework.

Features

Existing Features

Ability to check wines provenience, price and further information
Ability to navigate pages seamlessly via one page application routing
Ability to add wines to basket, verify item quantity and total order cost
Ability to review basket before purchase and apply edit if necessary
Real-time stock checker(the app will not let the user order more wines than actually in stock)
Ability to send queries via form
Ability to submit orders via form

Getting Started

Firstly you will need to clone this repository by running the git clone https://github.com/Diomede81/ionicawinecellar.git command
After you've done that please make sure that you have npm and bower installed
You can get npm by installing Node from here
Once you've done this you'll need to run the following command: npm install -g bower # this may require sudo on Mac/Linux
Once npm and bower are installed, you'll need to install all of the dependencies in package.json and bower.json

npm install

bower install

After those dependencies have been installed you'll need to make sure that you have http-server installed. You can install this by running the following: npm install -g http-server # this also may require sudo on Mac/Linux
Once http-server is installed run http-server -c-1
The project will now run on localhost
Make changes to the code and if you think it belongs in here then just submit a pull request

Running the tests

Jasmine/Karma testing suite have been used to test the user action of adding items to the basket and eventual basket calculation about prices and quantities

Jasmine/Karma(if you follow the installation procedure correctly) will be installed with NPM/Bower packages and ready to use

if you have any trouble installing please visit the this link

Tests

The Tests have been designed to verify correct functionality of the services that will take care of the shopping basket and other APIs(I.e. the API that will retrieve list of addresses from postcode provided)

A library called angular-mocks has been used to simulate the utilization of modules in order to test the various services within the Karma-Jasmine testing suite.

An Example:


// Factory responsible for adding wines to the basket

    describe('.addItemTobasket()', function () {


        var item =
            {
                wine: {

                    id: 4,
                    totalBasket:0
                }

            };

        var basket = null;

        var element = "";

        var quantity = 2;

        var addItemToBasketDomSpy

        beforeEach(function(){

            addItemToBasketDomSpy = spyOn(DomManipulation,'addItemToBasketDom').and.returnValue(2);
            addItemToBasketDomSpy2 = spyOn(DomManipulation,'makeBasketIconAppearDisappear').and.returnValue(2);

        });


        it('should Exist', inject(function (BasketService) {

            expect(BasketService.addItemTobasket(item,element,quantity,basket)).toEqual([{id:4, totalBasket:2}]);
            expect(addItemToBasketDomSpy).toHaveBeenCalledWith(element);
            expect(addItemToBasketDomSpy2).toHaveBeenCalledWith('appear');
            expect(addItemToBasketDomSpy).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1);

        }))

    });

Deployment

The application is ready to be deployed on a live web server, just copy the files in the designated Web-Server Folder and the site should be loading successfully

Built With

HTML5/CSS3 - The languages used for the pages design
Bootstrap 3.3 - The responsive design development Framework Used
JAVASCRIPT - The language used to build the interactivity of the web page elements
JQuery - The Library used to enhance the interactivity of the web page elements for cross-browser successful implementation
AngularJS - The Javascript framework used for implementing local-storage, page-routing
NPM - Dependency Management
Bower - Dependency Management
Jasmine - The testing framework used
Karma - The test runner used
JetBrains Webstorm - The IDE used to develop and test the application

More Information about build libraries

The following library has been also used to enhance the user experience

Angular UI-Router

Utilized to enable nesting of multiple pages within the AngularJS single page routing process, the challenge was to enable the utilization of three bootstrap style tabs that would switch based on the tab selected by the related anchor element, those tabs where included within a single page loaded using ng-view, UI-router has helped with this by simplifying the process and enabling the nesting of the tabs within the page, making possible to keep the HTML page loaded within the ng-view element static, whilst having the tabs seamlessly switching between each other loading further HTML pages in the process.

API USED

Crafty Clicks

Their Address Lookup & Verification has been used to ensure that the postcode included in the order form is valid and correct this is a very easy to use API
- In order to test the capability please use the following example postcodes as the free trial has expired and no more residential postcodes can be looked-up
  - aa11ad
  - aa11ab
  - aa11aa
