Lounasta

Lounasta is a cross-platform command-line application that fetches lunch menus from nearby restaurants via the lounaat.info API. The app uses the native location API in macOS (Darwin) to determine location and falls back to IP-based location for other platforms.

The Lounasta app provides two parameters for filtering lunch menu searches to help refine results based on specific criteria:

1. Restaurant Name Filter:

   • Flag: --name or -n
   • Description: Filters lunch menus to only include those from restaurants matching the specified name.

2. Food Name Filter:

   • Flag: --food or -f
   • Description: Filters lunch menus by the type of food. This is useful if you’re looking for a specific dish or ingredient in the menu offerings.

Features

• Fetches and displays lunch menus from nearby restaurants.
• Supports native location detection on macOS for accurate geolocation.
• Fallback to IP-based location for non-macOS platforms.
• Cross-platform compatibility (macOS, and Linux).

Installation

Replace version tag with version you want. For 0.0.1 it would be:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tomaskukk/lounasta/0.0.1/install.sh | bash

Note If you use darwin, you'll need to sign the binary first.

This can be done the following way:

Create a signing certificate locally. Instructions can be found here

Identity type: self signed root. Certificate type: codesigning.

  sudo codesign -s "<certificateName>" "$(which lounasta)"

Build Instructions

The build script (build.sh) handles cross-compiling for multiple platforms, including macOS (both Intel and ARM architectures), Windows, and Linux. Additionally, the script includes options to:

• Sign the binary for macOS using a specified certificate (Darwin only).
• Install the binary to your Go path for easy access.

Build Script Usage

Run the script with optional flags:

./build.sh -c <CERT_NAME> -v -i <INSTALL_OPTION>

Flags:

• -c <CERT_NAME>: Specify the certificate name for signing binaries on macOS.
• -v: Enable verbose output during build and signing.
• -i <INSTALL_OPTION>: Specify darwin or other to install the binary to your Go path.

Build Process Steps

1. Set Platform Variables: Compiles for darwin/amd64, darwin/arm64, linux/amd64, and linux/arm64.
2. Build macOS Artifacts: If targeting macOS, the script compiles the Objective-C files needed for the native location API.
3. Clean-Up: Removes intermediate build artifacts.
4. Signing (macOS only): If a certificate is provided, the binary will be signed for macOS.

Dependencies

• Go: Ensure Go is installed on your machine.
• Xcode (macOS): Required to build macOS location artifacts.

Installation

To install and access lounasta globally, use the -i flag with darwin or other, depending on your platform.
