Steps
The core function will be responsible for saving user food selections and customizations to the order.
Code:
// --- Order ---
// order should be a list that contains the foods. each food would be its own object in javascript with an attribute that is a list, this list in the attribute would be the customizations
var order = null;
function addToOrder(food) {
// Add food and customizations to the order variable
console.log("Added " + food + " to order");

Prompt:
Currently, the lunch lines displayed in my app are static. However in my app script, I have 2 lunch line objects (from a class I made) stored in the variable lines that represents all the lunch lines. Can you help me modify my app so that the lunch lines displayed are not static but based on the variable lines?

Prompt:
Currently, the foods displayed in my app are static for each lunch line. However in my app script, I have multiple food objects (from a class I made). The LunchLine class has an attribute menu, which is a list. The two lunch lines centerLine and rightLine each has its own menu with the food objects in its menu list. Can you help me modify my app so that the food displayed are not static but based on the selected lunch line?

Prompt:
Great, now as you can see in the code, each food has some possible customizations and a property required that is either true or false. If required is true, that means the food must have at least one customization at all times. If required is false, that means the food can have as many or few customizations possible. For all foods, multiple customizations can be selected.
Currently, the website statically displays the same customizations for all foods. Modify it to be dynamic based on the customizations stored in the food object selected.

I have added these two classes to the script:
class OrderFood {
constructor(name, customizations) {
this.name = name;
this.customizations = customizations;
}
addCustomization(customizations) {
if (customizations.length != 0) {
for (const customization of customizations) {
this.customizations.push(customization);
}
}
}
}
class Order {
constructor(id) {
this.id = id;
this.foods = [];
}
addToOrder(food) {
// Add to food
this.foods.push(food);

removeFromOrder(food) {
// Get index
const index = this.foods.indexOf(food);
// Remove val at index
if (index > -1) {
this.foods.splice(index, 1);
}
}
}
Now, when a food is selected, I want it to be saved to the order. If the food is customized, then I want the chosen customization objects when the user clicks next on the customization screen to be added to the food in the order. I want the food and any customizations to be displayed each time the order is displayed on the order food screen.

}Note: There is a bug and I cannot see the saved order. After providing my entire javascript, the AI pointed out that I had accidentally used duplicate function definitions. I think if I properly implemented the AI generated code, it would work on first try as most of the AI generated code has worked so far.

I have made the following modifications to the script:
class Order {
constructor(id) {
this.id = id;
this.foods = [];
this.lunchline = null;
this.user = null;
}
addToOrder(food) {
this.foods.push(food);
}
removeFromOrder(food) {
const index = this.foods.indexOf(food);
if (index > -1) {
this.foods.splice(index, 1);
}
}
completeOrder() {
this.lunchline = selectedLine;
this.user = currentUser;
}
}
// --- Account Credentials & Auth ---
const userID = "0";
const password = "test";
let loggedIn = false;
let currentUser = null;
function login() {
const usernameElement = document.getElementById('username-input');
const passwordElement = document.getElementById('password-input');
const username = usernameElement.value;
const enteredPassword = passwordElement.value;
const cleanUsername = username.trim();
const cleanPassword = enteredPassword.trim();
if (cleanUsername === '' || cleanPassword === '') {
alert('Please enter both your Username and Password.');
return;
}
if (cleanUsername === userID && cleanPassword === password) {
loggedIn = true;
currentUser = cleanUsername;
alert('Login successful! Welcome to the Lunch Ordering Portal.');
navigate('home-screen');
usernameElement.value = '';
passwordElement.value = '';
} else {
alert('Invalid username or password. Please try again.');
}
}
function logout() {
loggedIn = false;
currentUser = null;
navigate("login-screen");
alert("Logged out successfully");
}
These are to track the user who made an order. The review order screen displays static content, can you modify the website so that the content displayed is not static, and instead reflects the order?

}My project is linked here. I built the front-end user interface for a system that allows students to order school lunch online. The core functionality is that students should be able to place an order online and then be able to look at the order progress so that they know when to pick it up. The app has 7 screens for each part of the process (including 1 for login and 1 to confirm logout). A challenge I faced during this lesson was debugging the code that AI generated for the scripts, which I overcame by reading through the code, trying to understand the bugs, and leveraging AI as a debugger when I wasn't able to identify the error. I did use the cloning feature in the web editor, and I used it to rework the code in the app and make it closer to what I imagined the app's code would be like.
