Barista - CoffeeShop Ordering System
How to use:
- npm install -g meteorite (if not already installed)
- git clone https://github.com/bevanhunt/meteor-barista.git
- cd meteor-barista
- mrt
- open browser to http://localhost:3000
- add foods and drinks then add orders
Why:
Meteor.js vs. Batman-Rails using a LOB app
Notes:
- Meteor.js version is real-time
- When you update foods or drinks - the updated versions will only be available to products that have not been added to an order yet
Demo:
Batman-Barista:
https://github.com/bevanhunt/batman-barista
Comparsion:
Batman-Rails:
Pros:
* Model relationship keywords (rather than having to set MongoDB keys manually)
Cons:
* 3 specified model schemas (duplication) = ActiveModel, JSON Serializer, and Batman Models
* Real-time is not built-in (no real-time in Batman-Barita)
* Manually refreshing browser is required to see app changes
Meteor.js:
Pros:
* The same schemaless model on both server and client = no duplication
* Real-time built-in
* Auto-refreshes browser on app changes
* Decent documentation
