Vibe Coding in Practice - Build a Restaurant Ordering Mini Program in 10 Minutes
Previously, opening a small shop required expertise in product selection, shop design, photography, customer service, copywriting, and even a basic level of technical knowledge. Joining major e-commerce platforms inevitably involved paying fees and dealing with various cumbersome regulations...
Recently, "Yiwu" AI The concept of "small shops" is very popular, and many ordinary people are starting to try running their own digital micro-businesses.
In the past, to open a small shop, you needed to know how to select products, decorate the shop, take pictures, provide customer service, write copy, and also have some technical knowledge.
If you choose to join one of the existing major e-commerce platforms, you will inevitably have to pay handling fees and be subject to various cumbersome rules.
However, I've recently noticed that many people with absolutely no technical background are using a device called...Code FlyThe tools can easily break the deadlock.
With Vibe, I can directly code a usable mini-program using natural language.
No coding is required throughout the entire process, and the functionality is complete, including front-end and back-end, payment functionality, and built-in features. AI Customer service can also generate promotional materials based on application information.
It can be said that it covers everything from product launch, content marketing, to pre-sales and after-sales service.
Today, we'll demonstrate how to communicate directly without writing a single line of code.fastBuild and run apracticalThe mini-program.
We open the CodeFly official website.
Official website:https://www.codeflying.net
One-sentence generation application
We can directly enter our requirements in the input box:
Generate a mini-program for online restaurant ordering.
CodeFly will act like a product manager, first confirming our detailed business scenarios and core requirements, such as: What are the main service scenarios for the mini-program? What information needs to be displayed on the page? Is online payment functionality required?
It also provides a blank input box so I can add my specific ideas.
I've compiled the information and added the following details to the dialog box:
1. Primarily serves customers ordering takeout/pickup. 2. Required. 3. Online payment accepted. My shop name: K-Sister's Canteen Menu details: [Detailed menu]
Before long, CodeFly had preliminarily planned the visual style, core functions, and applicable scenarios of the mini-program based on my input.
The design is quite suitable, but regarding the supply time period, the default solution seems to only provide text reminders. To prevent customers from accidentally placing orders outside of business hours, I hope the system can implement hard restrictions. For example, breakfast could only be sold in the morning, and orders could not be placed after that time.
So I submitted my suggestions for modification in the input box on the right:
While indicating the supply period, can you support listing items during the supply period and removing them outside the supply period?
CodeFly quickly understood my intention and provided an adjustment plan: the system will adjust according to the current time.automaticControlling the listing/removal of dishes: During non-supply periods, the corresponding category or dish will be...automaticHide or show as "Sold Out".
That's the right approach; we can click "Confirm" directly.
In less than ten minutes, CodeFly completed the development of the mini-program and provided a real-time preview directly on the right side of the page:
I immediately clicked in and tried it out.
The five main categories have been created, but the supply time is incorrect; all dishes are currently showing as sold out.
In this situation, with traditional development, you might have to find the code, check the fields, and modify the logic.
But in CodeFly, we can directly let AI Adjustment.
First, Codefly confirmed the time configuration with us, and then told me where I should go to adjust it.
When generating the mini-program, CodeFly also generates a management backend, where dishes, orders, and options can be edited and adjusted.
Following its instructions, I went into the backend to edit the supply time.
After making the changes, return to the front-end interface and refresh; the supply time should now be correct.
Food items can be ordered normally during the available hours.
But a new problem arose: all the dishes had size options displayed below them, and each order required selecting a bunch of unnecessary options, which was very troublesome.
For example, when ordering a bowl of noodles, you not only have to choose between noodles and rice noodles, but also between medium and large cups, less sugar, regular sugar, and extra sugar, among other irrelevant options.
So I continued to modify the code-based flight:
Not all dishes offer the same selection options. The specialty noodle series allows you to choose between noodles/rice noodles, with or without scallions, cilantro, minced garlic, or pickled cabbage; the fruit tea series allows you to choose between less sugar, regular sugar, or extra sugar; selectable temperatures: room temperature or less ice; optional toppings: none / + coconut jelly ¥1 / + pearls ¥1 / + boba ¥2.
I really like the way CodeFly works. Before each execution, it first confirms the overall approach with me. Then it sorts out the parts that need to be modified, which functions have been implemented, and which need to be added or modified.
It executes only after I confirm. The editing effect is precise.
Let's take a look at the effect after the modification:
The ordering mini-program correctly displayed the specifications selection. What surprised me was that MaShangFei was able to determine which specifications were single-selectable and which could be selected multiple times based on the business logic.
Now, the noodle series allows you to choose between noodles or rice noodles, and also supports multiple options such as no cilantro or no scallions... The same goes for the fruit tea series, where you can choose the sweetness level and temperature, but you can choose multiple toppings, and the price will be calculated at the same time!
There's another one on the code.Partial modificationsOnce enabled, the button allows you to directly select a specific area on the page. AI For local modifications.
For example, if we think a button is too big, a piece of information is unclear, or a product card is not arranged well, we don't need to redescribe the entire application.
Just click on the page and explain how you want to change it.
For an ordinary small shop owner, this is really...practicalCodeFly understands business logic; we can say anything and it will understand how to adjust it.
It also generates a management backend, where orders, products, and operational data are all clearly displayed.
Management Assistant
What's even more interesting is that Codefly also comes with a business assistant.
I tried it out and had the promotion assistant generate the promotional copy:
The promotion assistant can directly write several versions of promotional copy based on the content in the mini program.
Changing to a conversational style like that used on WeChat Moments is effortless:
It can also generate promotional poster materials and posters based on the content in the application.
However, you'll need to replace the poster's image and the real QR code yourself.
Ask the business assistant how many orders there are today, and it can immediately calculate it based on existing application information.
CodeFly not only helps us create mini-programs, but also takes care of our subsequent operational tasks.
The CodeFly Business Assistant can be directly integrated into WeChat Work, transforming into a mini customer service representative to help us with customer reception.:
Click on "Configure" and follow the prompts to complete the configuration.
When customers encounter questions in the mini-program, the customer service representatives can go online to answer common questions, helping us to share some of the burden of daily communication.
After adjusting all the details, click "Publish" in the upper right corner of the page to officially launch your WeChat mini program!
Many of the things we have encountered in the past AI Most coding products remain at the stage of improving efficiency for developers.AI It generates a bunch of code snippets for us, but ordinary people still face many technical barriers such as how to configure the server, how to deploy and go online, and how to connect to the database.
CodeFly is more like a one-stop business operation platform. It not only helps us generate the front-end interface, but also simultaneously configures the back-end management interface and business assistant.
CodeFly solves more than just development challenges; it also provides operational dashboards and... AI Customer service helped us alleviate the pressure of operations, marketing, and pre-sales and after-sales, seamlessly integrating technology research and development with daily operations, making it practically feasible for ordinary people to run small businesses with zero cost.
AI It is transforming the "one-person company" from a cutting-edge ideal for a few into a reality that everyone can explore at low cost.
In the traditional business context, the implementation of a digital idea often requires collaboration among multiple roles, including product managers, front-end developers, back-end developers, and operations, resulting in high trial-and-error costs.
Now, technological barriers are being gradually smoothed out by the evolution of tools. An individual with clear logic and a keen insight into user needs can, with the help of such platforms, achieve significant personal growth.fastA digital system was built to support business operations.
When technology is no longer the only competitive advantage, we may see more interesting and heartwarming micro-businesses happening around us.
