Objective

Each feature works independently, and they work even better together. YSlow Analyzer is used to analyze web pages and to improve performance based on a set of rules.

Softwares/Tools Used

Brackets,Ionic,Angular JS,YSLOW,Firebase

Plugins Used - GeoLocation ($cordovaGeolocation), InAppBrowser ($cordovaInAppBrowser), Facebook ($cordovaFacebook)

About the Application

This is food app where the login and registration of user is handled using Firebase and all the validations are also handled. Once the user logs in, in the home page the food items list is displayed and the items can be selected. The selected items are added into cart from where the user can checkout the items. The purchase can be done using Netbanking/Credit/Debit. Also in settings page the user can change mobile number, password, email, address etc. The updated details are stored in Firebase, so once again if the user logs in the updated details will be reflected. If the user selects address Geolocation plugin is used to show the exact location on Google maps.

The below is the login page, where email id and password is mandatory. If both the details are entered then the details are checked in Firebase and allows the users to login.

Testing and Performance Check

The webpages are tested in YSLOW. YSlow analyzes web pages and why they're slow based on Yahoo!'s rules for high performance web sites. The grades for individual rules are computed differently depending on the rule.
