We’re going to create a restaurant. The server you build, is literally going to act as the server.

PreReq:

- It is recommended that you have used JavaScript Arrays before beginning this project

Getting Started Steps:

Create a new directory
Type ‘npm init’ to initialize the directory as a node project
1. Just hit enter through all of the questions npm init asks you
2. Run `npm install express` to download express
Create a file called index.js
1. You can run the file by typing ‘node index.js’
Your server will need to keep track of the following items
1. The bill ( For a single person )
2. The order ( For a single person )
Implement the following paths
1. ‘/’ - Returns a friendly greeting ‘Hello, may I take your order?’
2. ‘/getBill’ - Returns the current bill ( ex. 3.14 )
3. ‘/getOrder’ - Returns the current order ( ex. [‘burger’, ‘water’] )
4. ‘/orderWater’ - Adds ‘water’ to the order
5. ‘/orderBurger’ - Adds ‘burger’ to the order
6. ‘/orderFries’ - Adds ‘fries’ to the order
7. ‘/payBill’ - Sets the bill to 0 and empties the order
BONUS
1. How would you have more than one person on the order with more than one bill?
2. Make it your own! There are plenty of types of restaurants out there. Feel free to change the “menu”. Make your restaurant anything you want it to be.

You can trigger the paths through google chrome.

Visit the url localhost:8000/ to trigger the ‘/’ path.
Visit the url localhost:8000/orderWater to add a water to the order
Visit the url localhost:8000/getOrder to see that the water has been added to the order.

There are many ways to complete the tasks outlined above. There are many ways to make the application better that the basic application described above. Share what you’ve built with others!

Use the attached file as a template to get started.
