Lunch Menu Aggregator

This is the code for a web page listing the menus of the restaurants near SciLifeLab Solna (KI) and Uppsala (BMC).

The first code was written in 2010 by @talavis, who is still the main developer. There are also multiple contributors of e.g. bugfixes and new parsers.

There are three parts:

• A parser that can be imported in Python. It uses Requests and BeautifulSoup to download and parse the restaurant web pages.
• A backend that makes the menus available via an API built on top of Flask.
• A frontend that presents the menus in a more readable format (by making requests to the backend). It is written in Quasar (Vue).

Development

Run docker-compose up.

Add a new restaurant

To add a new restaurant:

1. Add the parser function to parser.py
2. Add the relevant keyword and function name to MAPPER in main.py
3. Add information about the restaurant to restaurants.json

Supported endpoints in the flask application:

• /restaurant (json): List all supported restaurants
• /restaurant/<identifier> (json): Retrieve menu for a restaurant (identifier can be obtained from the above request).

Hosted versions:

• Backend
• Frontend

Feedback

Bugs and requests for new restaurants or features should be submitted as issues to Github.
