Purpose
The purpose of this project was to explore Oracle’s JET (JavaScript Extension Toolkit). I have previously used React and Angular, frameworks that serve a similar purpose, and I was interested in exploring a new framework. Furthermore, I was interested in experimenting with Firebase, Google’s lightweight and modern backend/database.
Format & Functions
Through this portal, which is hosted as a web application, one can place orders and view previously made orders. When placing an order, you get to pick three parts of your meal: a burger, a side, and a drink. When in the order tracking view, one can sort the data within the table and refresh the table to view new orders which have been created.
Experience & Process
I learned a lot when building this application. I was shocked at how quickly and easily I was able to deploy the application with Firebase’s Realtime Database. I enjoyed using the components within the JET toolkit, and will likely be using them much more in the future!
