Takeaway Challenge

Instructions

  • Challenge time: Friday, the entire day + the weekend if you need it
  • Feel free to use google, your notes, books, etc but work on your own
  • You must submit a pull request to this repo with your code by 9am Monday morning

Task

  • Fill out your learning plan self review for the week: https://github.com/makersacademy/learning_plan (if you haven't already)
  • Fork this repo
  • run the command 'bundle' in the project directory to ensure you have all the gems
  • Write a Takeaway program with the following user stories:
As a customer
So that I can check if I want to order something
I would like to see a list of dishes with prices

As a customer
So that I can order the meal I want
I would like to be able to select some number of several available dishes

As a customer
So that I can verify that my order is correct
I would like to check that the total I have been given matches the sum of the various dishes in my order

As a customer
So that I am reassured that my order will be delivered on time
I would like to receive a text such as "Thank you! Your order was placed and will be delivered before 18:52" after I have ordered
  • Hints on functionality to implement:

    • ensure you have a list of dishes with prices
    • place the order by giving the list of dishes, their quantities and a number that should be the exact total. If the sum is not correct the method should raise an error, otherwise the customer is sent a text saying that the order was placed successfully and that it will be delivered 1 hour from now, e.g. "Thank you! Your order was placed and will be delivered before 18:52".
    • The text sending functionality should be implemented using Twilio API. You'll need to register for it. It’s free.
    • Use the twilio-ruby gem to access the API
    • Use a Gemfile to manage your gems
    • Make sure that your Takeaway is thoroughly tested and that you use mocks and/or stubs, as necessary to not to send texts when your tests are run
    • However, if your Takeaway is loaded into IRB and the order is placed, the text should actually be sent
  • Advanced! (have a go if you're feeling adventurous):

    • Implement the ability to place orders via text message.
  • A free account on Twilio will only allow you to send texts to "verified" numbers. Use your mobile phone number, don't worry about the customer's mobile phone.

  • Finally submit a pull request before Monday at 9am with your solution or partial solution. However much or little amount of code you wrote please please please submit a pull request before Monday at 9am

Note: We are looking for good OO design and programming! Remember the Single Responsibility and Dependency Injection/Inversion principles!
