Dynamic restaurant website built with JavaScript, showcasing a modular, component-based architecture and DOM manipulation techniques.

Restaurant Page — Live Demo

This project is part of The Odin Project’s JavaScript Course curriculum. It aims to apply everything learned in the immediate previous lessons, specifically ES6 Modules and Webpack, while continuing to practice DOM manipulation.

In this project, I dynamically render a restaurant homepage using JavaScript only, without any front-end frameworks like React, Vue, or Angular. The content pages (Home, Menu, Contact) function as tabs that render in the same URL, simulating a Single Page Application (SPA). Users can navigate through the different sections by using the navigation buttons to select the content to be displayed.

Features

• Dynamic Content Loading: The entire website content is dynamically generated using JavaScript, with no hardcoded HTML for the main sections.
• Modular Architecture: The project leverages ES6 modules, allowing for a clean and maintainable codebase by separating functionality into distinct modules.
• Component-Based UI: The UI is broken up into components, each separated into its own module. Every component is a JavaScript function that returns a DOM element or a Fragment, which is then appended to the corresponding HTML content container on demand.
• Webpack Configuration: Utilizes Webpack for bundling JavaScript modules and managing assets. The webpack.config.js file includes the specification of an entry point file and an output directory, CSS loaders for handling CSS files, asset loaders for managing image files, and HtmlWebpackPlugin for automatically generating an HTML file that includes the bundled JavaScript.
• Single Page Application (SPA): The site behaves like an SPA with different content pages (Home, Menu, Contact) rendered on the same URL. Navigation between these pages is seamless and handled via JavaScript.
• Event-Driven Interface: Implements event listeners for navigation buttons to handle tab switching and content rendering dynamically.
• Custom Design: The entire website was designed by myself using Figma, following a comprehensive workflow. This included requirements definition, sitemap creation, content modeling, content creation, wireframing, high-fidelity mock-up creation, and interactive prototype development.
