Silver Leaf - Full-Stack Food Ordering System

Silver Leaf is a complete, full-stack restaurant management and food ordering application. It features a robust backend built with Go, following the MVC pattern, and a modern, responsive frontend built with React.

The system is designed to serve three key roles: Customers who can browse the menu and place orders, Chefs who manage the kitchen and update order statuses, and Administrators who have full oversight of the platform, including user management, menu updates, and payment tracking. The entire application is containerized with Docker for easy setup and deployment.

Features

• Role-Based Access Control: Distinct interfaces and permissions for Customers, Chefs, and Administrators.
• Interactive Menu: Customers can browse food categories, view items, and add them to their cart.
• Order Management: A complete workflow from placing an order to preparation in the kitchen and final delivery.
• Chef's Dashboard: A dedicated view for chefs to see active orders and update their status ("Yet to start", "Cooking", "Completed").
• Admin Panel: A comprehensive dashboard for administrators to manage users, orders, payments, and menu items.
• Authentication: Secure user login and signup using JWT (JSON Web Tokens).
• In-Memory Caching: Backend caching for frequently requested data (like menus) to ensure fast response times.

Tech Stack

• Backend: Go, Gorilla/Mux (for routing), MySQL
• Frontend: React, Vite, Bootstrap, Axios
• Database: MySQL
• Containerization: Docker

Getting Started

Follow these instructions to get the project up and running on your local machine.

Setup and Installation

1. Clone the Repository Open your terminal and clone the project:

   git clone [https://github.com/kartikgoyal137/mvc_silverleaf.git](https://github.com/kartikgoyal137/mvc_silverleaf.git)
   cd mvc_silverleaf

2. Configure Environment Variables The project uses a .env file to manage sensitive information like database credentials and JWT secrets.

   cp .env.sample .env

   Now, open .env and fill in the required values:

   DBUSER=
   DBPASS=
   DBROOTPASS=
   TOKENKEY=
   DBNAME=silver_leaf
   DBHOST=db

3. Build and Run with Docker The included Makefile simplifies the Docker process. In the root directory of the project, run:

   make build
   make up

   This command will build the Docker image, which compiles the Go backend, builds the React frontend, sets up the database, runs migrations, and starts the application.

   Your application should now be running!
