Food Truck App (Django, Reactjs and Docker)

How to run the application.

Backend

Step 1:

• Clone the application to your local machine
• In the root of the application go to the /backend folder.

Step 2:

• Create a .env file within the /backend folder and add the following content:

POSTGRES_DB=rackt_project_db
POSTGRES_USER=rackt_project_user
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=rackt_project_password
SECRET_KEY=mysecretkey123

Step 3:

Add the following command to make the application run:

docker-compose up --build

Step 4: Go to the following path to access the backend:
http://localhost:8000/api/food-trucks/

Different query params you can use:

To return different objects based on cuisine:
http://localhost:8000/api/food-trucks/?cuisine=mexican

To return different objects based on latitude, longitude and radius:
http://localhost:8000/api/food-trucks/?latitude=37.760086931986980&longitude=-122.418806481101140&radius=2

Run backend CLI commands:

Populate FoodTruckInfo model from csv: python manage.py populate_food_trucks food-truck-data.csv

Delete all data from a specific model: python manage.py delete_all_data <model_name>

Retrieve nearby trucks (information): python manage.py retrieve_nearby_trucks <latitude> <longitude> <radius>

Ex:

root@c99745dd6dd3:/app# python manage.py retrieve_nearby_trucks 37.760086931986980 -122.418806481101140 0.3

Rationale

What I would do if I had more time:

• Add more inputs with different queries in the frontend.
• Display each truck in different cards and its info with a button to check its location.
• In the frontend I would create separation of concerns with a directory with their own responsabilities.
• Would improve the frontend dockerization.
