Building a Nutrition-Focused Food Menu App UI with JSON and React

Hey DEV community! 👋

As developers, we often build apps that solve real-world problems—and food is one of the most universal. Recently, I’ve been exploring how to structure a food menu app with a focus on nutrition information, inspired by popular restaurant menus like Culver’s.

🛠️ Tech Stack
React (for UI)

JSON (for dynamic menu data)

Tailwind CSS (for styling)

Optional: Firebase for backend / auth

💡 Features to Consider:
Group items by category (e.g., burgers, sides, desserts)

Include dynamic nutrition facts

Use tags for vegetarian, gluten-free, etc.

Responsive design for mobile users

Search and filter capability

🧩 Data Structure Sample:
json
Copy
Edit
{
"category": "Burgers",
"items": [
{
"name": "ButterBurger",
"calories": 390,
"price": 4.99,
"tags": ["beef", "signature"]
}
]
}
🔗 Real-World Reference
If you're working on a food-related app, it's helpful to study real examples. I took some cues from The Culver’s Menu, which provides a clear breakdown of categories, ingredients, and nutritional values. It’s a great case study in how to present menu data effectively.

Would love to hear your thoughts:

How do you handle complex data like nutrition in UI?

Any tips for filtering and tagging?
