Project Structure

The project is organized into two main directories:

• client/: Contains the React Native application code.
• server/: Contains the Node.js server code and API endpoints.

Requirements

• Node.js (v14 or higher)
• React Native development environment (follow the official React Native setup guide)
• MongoDB Atlas account (for storing food data)

Setup

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/rd273001/FoodOrder.git

2. Navigate to the project directory: cd FoodOrder

3. Install dependencies for both client and server:

• Navigate to "client" directory: cd client and run npm install OR yarn install
• Navigate to "server" directory: cd server and run npm install OR yarn install

4. Create a .env file in the server directory and add your MongoDB Atlas connection string: MONGODB_URI=your_mongodb_atlas_connection_string(ex: mongodb+srv://<username>:<password>@cluster0.sbdsigv.mongodb.net/<database_name>?retryWrites=true&w=majority) PORT=3000

5. Create a .env file in the client directory and add BASE_URL(or you can add it in contsants file in utils or commons folder if no secret variables) BASE_URL=http://192.168.29.129:3000/api/foods (http://your-ip:3000/api/foods)

• For local URL: you can check it with ipconfig command and see the IPv4 Address under Wireless LAN adapter Wi-Fi (Note: localhost is not used)
• For deployed URL: BASE_URL=http://deployed-url/api/foods

6. Start the development server:

• Navigate to server directory: cd server
• run npm start or yarn start

7. In a new terminal window, start the React Native development server:

• Navigate to client directory: cd client
• run npm start or yarn start

8. Run the app on your preferred platform (Android or iOS): npx react-native run-android # For Android npx react-native run-ios # For iOS

Endpoints

The server exposes the following endpoints:

• GET /: Retrieves a list of food items. Supports query parameters for filtering by name (?name=), price (?price=), and type (?type=).

• POST /addfood: Adds a new food item to the database. Requires body as: { name: String, price: Number, type: String }
