An RESTful django development challenge for managing a small coffee shop
In this challenge, you are going to develop a small django web application which manages restbucks coffee shop orders via REST APIs.
In restbucks, the manager can define variety of products via admin panel. Customers are able to order and customize their coffee with several options. Order can have a status: waiting, preparation, ready, delivered. Manager can chagne orders status. After each status change on order, you should notify the customer via email.
Here is sample catalog of products offered by restbucks:
Production > Customization option
- Latte > Milk: skim, semi, whole
- Cappuccino > Size: small, medium, large
- Espresso > Shots: single, double, triple
- Tea
- Hot chocolate > Size: small, medium, large
- Cookie > Kind: chocolate chip, ginger
- All > Consume location: take away, in shop
For the sake of simplicity, consider each product has a constant price no matter which option is selected.
Note: UI is not important, you can use django admin UI.
The following REST APIs should be implemented and any customer should be able to consume the API using a secure way:
- View Menu (list of products)
- Order at coffee shop with options
- View his order (product list, pricing & order status)
- Change a waiting order
- Cancel a waiting orders
API response format is up to you.
This is a typical coffee shop problem which you're probably familiar with. All defined requirements are just for testing your programming skills, they might not be meaningful in a real world example.
We want a clean, reusable, readable, and maintainable code with meaningful comments and docstrings.
