In this devlog, I created the whole app. I created the architecture in Django, where I edited the urls.py file to add endpoints to the specific sites the application will be hosting. I also edited the settings file to use the .env file to be more secure and also add the django qr code library to then make the qr code generation work. Furthermore I linked the PostreSQL database to the django app inside this settings file for it to work properly with the database. Now for the actual app, I created the needed views for django which range from the specific table websites which the customer can access, order drinks with specific drink types, view their orders and track them and see if they got accepted/completed/rejected or missed. This also uses a predefined .html template I created using the bootstrap CSS framework to make the designing a bit quicker. I then created the staff panel website in a similar way, I created some logic in the views file to pass through some information from the backend into the frontend, and then created the html template file which has some JS code to make fetching from the backend continuous and work good, the same way the table template has it. There’s also logic for the time updates on the orders. The backend does this logic and it updates and checks for these time constraits every time someone fetches the orders. Lastly, I created a website to login to the staff panel where users log in with their username and password. the password is securely hashed on the backend and it’s then stored as a hash on the database. I then also edited the admin page so that it’s possible to create new things, I added some constraints to models so specific types have to be used and also linked through the drink type and the drink. I then also created a custom migration to create a test admin user. The last thing that completes this whole project is unit testing, where I’m testing different things about this app including model integrity, time constraints.
