this is the repository for https://meals.trjn.cc web app. It is a simple webpage that lets the user search meals by name in the MealsDB data base, and view its details. this repository contais both the frontend and backend source code

this is a test for a fullstack developer position at TOPi. The test description can be found at requirements.md

Go to https://meals.trjn.cc and type a meal's name in the searchbox located at the top of the page. If there are matches, a list of meals will appear. Click on a meal entry to view its details.

this system is made using SpringBoot Java Framework for the backend and Angular for the frontend. The system is hosted at Heroku.

The meals-angular directory contains the source for the front-end. Further details can be found at README.md

Most of the backend logic can be found at MealDbClient.java. When MealController.java receives a HTTP GET request to the http(s):https://meals.trjn.cc/api/search?name=query endpoint with the name parameter, it gets its value and calls MealDB api to get the results. Note that it doesn't store anything. Receiving an Array of meals, it formats the result and returns as a json array of meal objects, following the format:

    id : string,
    name : string,
    area : string,
    thumbnail : string,
    cookingInstructions : string

if there's an error getting the meals, or there're no matches it returns an empty array.

you will need to have Java runtime 11, Maven, Nodejs, Npm and the Angular CLI installed.

to build and run the frontend see meals-angular/README.md. You can run a developer live server which will serve the webpage in https://localhost:4200 or you can build and copy the generated files in meals-angular/dist to src/main/resources/public and let the api server serve it in https://localhost:8080

To build the backend project run: mvn clean install. Maven will download all dependencies, build the project and test it. ProxyApiApplicationTests.java describes the tests: First it tests if it could built an Meal object from a MealDB json-formmated meal object, then it tests if, from where the project is being built, it could access MealDB's api. to run the server simply execute the jar generated in /target directory: java -jar target/proxy-api-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar. If everything goes right the service will be avaiable at https://localhost:8080/api/

currently the deployment to heroku is integrated to github, but it is being done manually.

it would be great to :

• automate the packaging (build the front and put it in the file server) and deployment
• implement frontend tests
• animations
