Deliveratorjs - a server for Mustard powered food ordering websites

Deliveratorjs is a node.js module for easily inserting Mustard powered menus into web pages.

Installation

Install from npm with

npm install deliveratorjs

Quick Start

Deliverator requires node.js, express (npm install -g express), and git.

You can create a basic express server using deliverator with these five simple steps:

Create an express server with deliverator in the folder you want to use with
```
express myOrdrinApp
cd myOrdrinApp
npm install
npm install deliveratorjs
```
Copy the contents of node-modules/deliveratorjs/example into views

In app.js, below the module dependencies, add the lines:

var options = {
  "apiKey" : "your API Key",
  "servers" : "test"
}
var deliverator = require("deliveratorjs")(options);

In app.js, add the following to the middlewares above app.router:

app.use(deliverator.html.addHtml);
app.use(deliverator.injector);

In app.js, add the following lines after app.get('/', routes.index);:

app.get('/search', deliverator.html.getDefaultRestaurantListMiddleware("search", "/menu"));
app.get('/menu/:rid', deliverator.html.getDefaultMenuMiddleware("menu"));

The index page of this server should have a form to search for restaurants near an address. If you fill in the form with a location we support, you will get a list of restaurats that will deliver to you and if you click on a restaurant's name you will get the menu for that restaurant.

Usage

Initialization

Deliverator takes the same initialization arguments as the node Ordr.in wrapper, with the additional argument path, which is a url path that deliverator will use that will not conflict with anything else and defaults to "/ordrin". For example,

var options = {
  apiKey = "YOUR-ORDRIN-API-KEY",
  restaurantUrl: "r-test.ordr.in",
  userUrl: "u-test.ordr.in",
  orderUrl: "o-test.ordr.in",
  path: "/deliverator"
};
var deliverator = require("deliveratorjs")(options);

Rendering

The main purpose of Deliverator is to render pages as necessary to use them with Mustard. This includes properly linking to Mustard JavaScript and CSS and rendering pages server side. This rendering can be done at various levels of granularity, and uses external templates that can be edited. These functions are all members of deliverator.html.

Page Pieces

The most granular method of creating Deliverator pages is the functions to render chunks of pages to strings of HTML.

Head Data

Several functions render stuff that goes in the <head> tag. All of these include a <link> tag to load the Mustard CSS file and JavaScript code to load the Mustard JavaScript file. They also include JavaScript code to put data into the ordrin global variable, which Mustard uses for rendering and functionality.

Restaurant Head

getSimpleRestaurantsHead( data )
getRestaurantsHead( data )

The first function puts into ordrin the data needed to request and render the list of restaurants. This should be used if you want Mustard to request the restaurant array and render it to the page client side.

The second sets that data and also inserts the array of restaurant data. This should be used if you want to do the data request and possibly render the page on the server before returning the response.

Both functions take in a single object as its argument. The first function has fewer properties, and the ones that are not necessary for it will be noted. Below are the expected properties:

address: The address for food to be delivered to. Should be an instance of ordrinAPI.address or equivalent.
menu_uri: The base url for menu requests. Mustard assumes that requests to menuUri/rid will get responses with restaurant menus.
deliveryTime: The date and time of when the food should be delivered. Should be "ASAP" or a string of the form MM-dd+HH:mm.
render: A boolean that determines whether Mustard will render the restaurant list HTML client side. Should be true if the server will not render that HTML in the response. getRestaurantsHead ONLY.
data: An object containing a restaurant key mapping to an array of restaurant objects, as the Delivery List API Call returns. getRestaurantsHead ONLY.
head_init: Dictionary of variable names & variable values that may be added to the JavaScript snippet that initializes the necessary Mustard variables. getRestaurantsHead ONLY.
isMobile: A boolean for whether or not the rendered pages will be for mobile view or not. If they are, the mustard style file will not be applied to the pages. getRestaurantsHead ONLY.

Menu Head

getSimpleHead( data )
getHead( data )

The first function puts into ordrin the data needed to request and render the menu. This should be used if you want Mustard to request the menu data and render the menu to the page client side.

The second sets that data and also inserts the menu data. This should be used if you want to do the data request and possibly render the page on the server before returning the response.

Both functions take in a single object as its argument. The first function has fewer properties, and the ones that are not necessary for it will be noted. Below are the expected properties:

rid: The restaurant ID
address: The address for food to be delivered to. Should be an instance of ordrinAPI.address or equivalent.
deliveryTime: The date and time of when the food should be delivered. Should be "ASAP" or a string of the form MM-dd+HH:mm.
data: An object containing a menu key mapping to a menu array, as the Restaurant Details API Call returns. getHead ONLY.
render: A boolean that determines whether Mustard will render the menu HTML client side. Should be true if the server will not render that HTML in the response. getHead ONLY.
details: An object containing the details about a restaurant, as returned by the Restaurant Details API Call. getHead ONLY.
head_init: Dictionary of variable names & variable values that may be added to the JavaScript snippet that initializes the necessary Mustard variables. getHead ONLY.
isMobile: A boolean for whether or not the rendered pages will be for mobile view or not. If they are, the mustard style file will not be applied to the pages.
confirmUrl: A string that contains the (relative) path to the confirm page of the app.

Confirm Head

getSimpleConfirmHead( data )
getConfirmHead( data )

The first function puts into ordrin the data needed to request and render a confirm page. This should be used if you want Mustard to parse the tray string and render its contents to the page client side.

The second parses that data and also renders it. This should be used if you want to do the data request and possibly render the page on the server before returning the response.

Both functions take in a single object as its argument. The first function has fewer properties, and the ones that are not necessary for it will be noted. Below are the expected properties:

address: The address for food to be delivered to. Should be an instance of ordrinAPI.address or equivalent.
rid: The restaurant ID
deliveryTime: The date and time of when the food should be delivered. Should be "ASAP" or a string of the form MM-dd+HH:mm.
render: A boolean that determines whether Mustard will render the restaurant list HTML client side. Should be true if the server will not render that HTML in the response. getConfirmHead ONLY.
data: An object containing a restaurant key mapping to an array of restaurant objects, as the Delivery List API Call returns. getConfirmHead ONLY.
tray: A string denoting the tray of the order, in the format documented in the Order API Call.
tip: A string denoting the tip for the order. In cents.

Address Head

getAddressHead( data )

Compared to all other heads, the address head has only a single function, since the address page doesn't rely on Mustard code.

The function takes in a single object as its argument.

isMobile: A boolean for whether or not the rendered pages will be for mobile view or not. If they are, the mustard style file will not be applied to the pages.
extraCss: A string of CSS code inside <style> tags, which can optionally be injected into the head of the page.

Rendered HTML

These functions return HTML that belongs in the body of their corresponding pages.

getRestaurants(data)
getMenu(data)

Keys for data in getRestaurants:

restaurants: An array of restaurant objects as returned by the Delivery List API Call.

In addition, each restaurant object should have a params key containing an object with the following keys:

menu_uri: The base url for menu requests. Mustard assumes that requests to menuUri/rid will get responses with restaurant menus.
dateTime: The date and time of when the food should be delivered. Should be "ASAP" or a string of the form MM-dd+HH:mm.
addr: The street address for delivery
addr2: The second line of the street address (optional)
city: The city for delivery
state: The state for delivery
zip: The zip code for delivery
phone: The phone number for delivery.

Keys for data in getMenu:

menu: A menu data array as returned in the Restaurant Details API Call.
address: The address for food to be delivered to. Should be an instance of ordrinAPI.address or equivalent.
deliveryTime: The date and time of when the food should be delivered. Should be "ASAP" or a string of the form MM-dd+HH:mm.

Whole Pages

A less granular method of creating Deliverator pages is a set of functions that send responses containing complete rendered pages.

Restaurant List Pages

renderRestaurantsSimple(res, params, dateTime)
renderRestaurants( res, params, callback )

The first renders the page to pass as little data as possible into the response, so the client will have to request the restaurant data list and render the HTML.

The second renders the page with the data and possibly the rendered HTML, so the page will display quickly and the client will do as little work as possible to display the page.

Arguments:

res: The response variable that would be passed to an express middleware.
params.template: The name of a template to render into. This template should render the key head into the <head> tag and the key restaurants into a tag with the id ordrinRestaurants, if restaurants exists (renderRestaurantsSimple will not have that key).
params.extra: An object containing any extra data that should be rendered into the template.
params.address: The address for food to be delivered to. SHould be an instance of ordrinAPI.address or equivalent.
params.menuUri: The base url for menu requests. Mustard assumes that requests to menuUri/rid will get responses with restaurant menus.
params.deliveryTime: The date and time of when the food should be delivered. Should be "ASAP" or a string of the form MM-dd+HH:mm.
params.renderList: a boolean that determines whether Mustard or Deliverator will render the restaurant list. Deliverator will render it if renderList is truthy. renderRestaurants ONLY.
params.filterRestaurants: a function that takes as input an array of restaurants and returns another array of restaurants, which should be displayed (as opposed to the original one). renderRestaurants ONLY.
callback: a function that is called once the restaurant rendering is done. Has 2 arguments: (err, res). If call succeeded, null is returned. If there was an error, it is returned via the err argument. renderRestaurants ONLY.

Menu Pages

renderSimple(res, params, callback )
render(res, params )

The first renders the page to pass as little data as possible into the response, so the client will have to request the restaurant data list and render the HTML.

The second renders the page with the data and possibly the rendered HTML, so the page will display quickly and the client will do as little work as possible to display the page.

Arguments:

res: The response variable that would be passed to an express middleware.
params.rid: The restaurant ID
params.template: The name of a template to render into. This template should render the key head into the <head> tag and the key menu into a tag with the id ordrinMenu, if menu exists (renderSimple will not have that key).
params.extra: An object containing any extra data that should be rendered into the template.
params.address: The address for food to be delivered to. SHould be an instance of ordrinAPI.address or equivalent.
params.deliveryTime: The date and time of when the food should be delivered. Should be "ASAP" or a string of the form MM-dd+HH:mm.
params.confirmUrl: A string that contains the (relative) path to the confirm page of the app.
params.renderMenu: A boolean that determines whether Mustard or Deliverator will render the menu. Deliverator will render it if renderMenu is truthy. render ONLY.
callback: a function that is called once the restaurant rendering is done. Has 2 arguments: (err, res). If call succeeded, null is returned. If there was an error, it is returned via the err argument.

Routes

getDefaultRestaurantListMiddleware(template, menuUri, render_server, extra)
getDefaultMenuMiddleware(template, render_server, extra)

These return default route specific middlewares for restaurant lists and menus, respectively. They assume that menus can be requested at menuUri/rid, and both take the following query string parameters:

dateTime: The date and time of when the food should be delivered. Should be "ASAP" or a string of the form MM-dd+HH:mm.
addr: The street address for delivery
addr2: The second line of the street address (optional)
city: The city for delivery
state: The state for delivery
zip: The zip code for delivery
phone: The phone number for delivery.

Arguments:

template: The name of a template to render into, with the same requirements as in restaurant list pages for the first function and menu pages for the second.
render_server: Renders the entire page and requests the API data on the server if truthy, and all on the client otherwise.
extra: An object containing any extra data that should be rendered into the template.
menuUri: The base url for menu requests. Mustard assumes that requests to menuUri/rid will get responses with restaurant menus.

Middlewares

Injector

The injector middleware serves auxillary Deliverator requests made to URIs starting with path as set when initializing. It will act as a proxy to the Ordr.in API by forwarding any request that starts with /path/api. For any other path starting with /path, it will try to serve the corresponding file in node_modules/mustard.

You can use it in the app simply by calling

app.use(deliverator.injector);

Use rendering object

The rendering object adder simply adds a reference to the rendering object to the request so that any middleware after it has a convenient reference to it.

You can use it in the app simply by calling

app.use(deliverator.html.addHtml);
