LTW Project

Project description for the 2022 edition of the Web Languages and Technologies course.

Objective

Create a website where restaurants can list and offer their menus for take-away. To create this application, students should:

  • Create an SQLite database that stores information about restaurants, menus, dishes, customers, and orders.
  • Create documents using HTML and CSS representing the application's web pages.
  • Use PHP to generate those web pages after retrieving/changing data from the database.
  • Use Javascript to enhance the user experience (for example, using Ajax).

Requirements

Requirements are sparsely defined so that each group has some degree of freedom.

The minimum expected set of requirements is the following:

  • All users should be able to (users can simultaneously be customers and restaurant owners):

    • Register a new account.
    • Login and Logout.
    • Edit their profile (at least username, password, address, and phone number).

  • Restaurant owners should be able to:

    • Add and edit information about each one of their restaurants. Including the name, address, and category.
    • Add a list of dishes, their names, prices, photos and categories.
    • List and respond to reviews made by customers.
    • List orders and change their state (e.g., received, preparing, ready, delivered).

  • Customers should be able to:

    • Search restaurants by name, dish name, average review score, etc.
    • Order dishes from a single restaurant.
    • Mark restaurants and dishes as favorites.
    • Review a restaurant they have ordered from (at least score and some text).

Students should also make sure that:

  • The following technologies are all used:
    HTML, CSS, PHP, Javascript, Ajax/JSON, PDO/SQL (using sqlite).

  • The website should be as secure as possible.
    Have special attention to SQL injection, XSS and CSRF attack protection, and good password storage principles.

  • Code should be organized and consistent.

  • Design doesn't need to be top-notch but should be clean and consistent throughout the site. It should also work on mobile devices.

  • Frameworks are not allowed.

  • Small helper libraries (e.g., displaying a gallery of pictures) might be allowed (talk with your practical class teacher).

Some suggested additional requirements. These requirements are a way of making sure each project is unique. You do not have to implement all of these:

  • Restaurant owners should be able to add temporary promotions to dishes.
  • There should be a way to keep each dish's price history.
  • Users should be able to send photos of the dishes they ordered so that other users know what to expect.
  • Users should receive a system notification every time something significant happens (e.g., new order, the ordered dish is on its way).
  • Add more information about restaurants and dishes.
  • Use the geolocation API and restaurant addresses to order the restaurants by distance.
  • Add a third type of user, the driver, responsible for picking up dishes from restaurants and delivering them to customers.
    • Use the geolocation API to show the driver's location at any given time.
    • Drivers should be able to list restaurants near them that have orders almost ready to be delivered.
    • Drivers should be able to see information for orders they were given, including the customer name, address, and phone.
    • Drivers should be able to set an order's state to 'delivered.'
  • Develop a REST API for the front end of the website or third-party services.

If you prefer, you can create your own additional requirements.
