# Meal API # Meal API
A small food menu API with a single-page frontend. A food menu API with a single-page frontend. A **Meal** is one item on the menu; the
collection is `/api/menu`, validated with zod and documented at `/openapi`.
A **Meal** is one item on the menu. The collection lives at `/api/menu`, and every route is ## Running
validated with **zod** schemas that also generate the **OpenAPI** docs at `/openapi`.
## Files
| File | Purpose |
| --- | --- |
| `index.html` | The frontend. Markup, styles and script are all inline. |
| `server.js` | The whole backend: zod schemas, the meals, the CRUD routes, the docs. |
| `package.json` | So that `elysia`, `@elysiajs/node`, `zod` and `@elysiajs/openapi` can be installed. |
There is no `public/` folder and no separate `menu.js`, `app.js` or `style.css` — the app is
`index.html` + `server.js`.
## Run it
```sh ```sh
npm install npm install
npm start # node server.js npm start # node server.js
``` ```
Then open <http://localhost:3000>. The docs are at <http://localhost:3000/openapi>. Open <http://localhost:3000>. API docs: <http://localhost:3000/openapi>.
Other ways to run the exact same file:
```sh ```sh
npm run dev # node --watch server.js (auto-restart on save) npm run dev # node --watch server.js
npm run bun # bun server.js npm run bun # bun server.js (also runs on Node)
``` ```
`server.js` runs on **both** Node and Bun. Elysia serves through `Bun.serve` on Bun, and the
file loads the `@elysiajs/node` adapter automatically whenever Bun isn't present, so neither
runtime needs its own copy of the server.
`index.html` is read from disk per request, so editing it shows up on refresh without a restart.
## Schema ## Schema
`server.js` defines the meal once as a zod schema, and everything else follows from it: the
request validation, the TypeScript types, the response validation and the OpenAPI spec.

A stored meal is that draft plus the server-managed fields: The same schema validates the request, types the handler and generates the OpenAPI spec.

| `createdAt` | ISO datetime | set on create | | `createdAt` | ISO datetime | set on create |

`price` is a real JSON number on purpose. An empty form field arrives as `""` and is rejected
with *"Price is required."* rather than being silently coerced into a ₱0 meal.

### Filtering and sorting `GET /api/menu` also accepts `category`, `available`, `search`, `sort` (`name`, `price`,
`createdAt`) and `order` (`asc`, `desc`).
```sh Errors come back as a message plus the offending fields:
curl "http://localhost:3000/api/menu?category=main&available=true&sort=price&order=desc"
curl "http://localhost:3000/api/menu?search=adobo" ```json
{ "error": "Name is required.", "fields": { "name": "Name is required." } }
``` ```
`category` · `available` · `search` (matches name and description) · `sort` (`name`, `price`, ## Examples
`createdAt`) · `order` (`asc`, `desc`). Plain `/api/menu` keeps insertion order.

### Errors `GET /api/menu/abc` → `400` · `GET /api/menu/99` → `404`
Every failure returns the same shape — `error` for the message, `fields` for the inputs the
frontend should highlight:
```json ```json
{ { "error": "ID must be a whole number, like 1." }
"error": "Name is required.",
"fields": {
"name": "Name is required.",
"category": "Pick a category: appetizer, main, dessert, drink.",
"price": "Price is required."
}
}
``` ```
Elysia answers validation failures with `422` by default; `onError` normalizes them to `400`. ```json
{ "error": "No menu item with ID 99." }
| Case | Status | Body | ```
| --- | --- | --- |
| invalid body/query/param | `400` | `{ "error": "…", "fields": { … } }` |
| id isn't a whole number ≥ 1 (`/api/menu/abc`) | `400` | `{ "error": "ID must be a whole number, like 1." }` |
| id doesn't exist (`/api/menu/99`) | `404` | `{ "error": "No menu item with ID 99." }` |
| unknown path (`/nope`) | `404` | `Not found` |
| unexpected server error | `500` | `{ "error": "Internal server error." }` |
## Frontend
`index.html` is one page that talks to the API with `fetch()`:
- lists meals in a table, with the description under each name
- searches and filters by category and availability (the search box is debounced)
- creates meals with `POST`, edits them with `PATCH` (sending **only the changed fields**) and
deletes them behind a two-step confirm
- renders the API's `fields` messages under the matching inputs, so validation lives on the
server and is displayed, not duplicated
Rows are built with `createElement`/`textContent` rather than `innerHTML`, so a meal name can
never inject markup into the page.
The styling follows the dark design language used in the [it3206-minisys](https://git.ranio.xyz/adrianbonpin/it3206-minisys)
project — `neutral-900` background, `white/10` hairlines, `white/5` fills, rounded panels and a
blurred navbar. It is hand-written CSS in the `<style>` tag, so the page needs no build step, no
Tailwind and no CDN.
## Notes
- Meals live in memory, so restarting the server restores the original three. Swap the `menu`
array for a database when the data needs to survive a restart.
- The meal's name field is `name`. If something still expects the older `food` key, add
`food: z.string().optional()` to the schema and map it in the handlers.
- The `/openapi` page is the Scalar UI, which loads its assets from a CDN, so it needs internet
access to render. `/openapi/json` is served entirely locally.
