Barista - CoffeeShop Ordering System

How to use:

1. npm install -g meteorite (if not already installed)
2. git clone https://github.com/bevanhunt/meteor-barista.git
3. cd meteor-barista
4. mrt
5. open browser to http://localhost:3000
6. 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

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
