Take Back Control of Your Health with a Calorie Tracker
As more and more people are becoming health conscious and adopting a healthy lifestyle, the need for a calorie tracker is on the rise. By monitoring their daily calorie intake with the help of a calorie tracker, people can maintain a healthy weight and reach their fitness goals. In this blog post, we’ll talk about the calorie tracker website that we are developing in Vue.JS and how users can use it to keep track of their daily calorie intake.
The following technologies were used in the project:
Vue.js is a well-known JavaScript framework for creating user interfaces. To manage the application state, we also used Vuex, a state management library. We used Node.js and MongoDB for the backend.
There might be a question that why only this tech-stack is used?
Vue.js is a highly popular and easy-to-use JavaScript framework that enables us to build dynamic user interfaces. It has a large and supportive community, which makes it easy to get help and find resources when needed. Vuex is a state management library that simplifies the management of the application’s state. Node.js is an efficient and scalable backend technology that allows us to write server-side code using JavaScript. MongoDB is a NoSQL database that is fast, flexible, and highly scalable. Also many user base of the website will prefer mobile application, which can be easily exported from vue.js
How We Applied the Learned Knowledge to Our Project:
We used what we knew about Vue.js to build reusable parts, like a food item component that shows the name and calories of each food item. We also used Vuex to control the application’s state, including the user’s daily calorie target and a list of the foods they’ve eaten.
How Differently We Have Applied the Technologies in Use:
Performance and reusability have been prioritised in our use of Vue.js and Vuex. As an illustration, we developed a component that shows a bar graph of the user’s daily calorie intake.
How Others Have Used Which Technologies for Similar Work/Project:
The market is flooded with calorie tracking applications, and many of them share common building blocks like Vue.js, Node.js, and MongoDB. Each app, however, has a distinct set of features and a different user interface. Some applications might make use of additional technologies like React or Angular, as well as alternative backend technologies like PHP or Ruby on Rails.
The current competition in the market is mainly focused towards foreign countries and does not have any plans to focus on countries like India which has a variety of food cultures across the country. So we are developing this website in consideration with the Indian market because there is no currently active competition and the market is actively growing as the people are changing their diets and food habits towards a healthy lifestyle
My Contribution towards the development of the project
In this project, I contributed to the development of the calorie tracking features, such as setting a daily calorie goal, adding food items to the tracker, and displaying a graph of the user’s daily calorie intake. I also learned a lot about Vue.js, Vuex, Node.js, and MongoDB while working on this project, and I am excited to continue to learn and grow as a developer.
In conclusion, the calorie tracker web app we are developing in Vue JS is a useful tool for people who want to monitor their calorie intake and maintain a healthy weight. With its user-friendly interface and intuitive design, the app is sure to be a hit among health-conscious users.
