Add food preference/allergy item to student #20

Open dondi opened 12 years ago

dondi commented 12 years ago

Many student events have food, and knowledge of food preferences or especially allergies, will help in planning such events.

This can start with the server, then eventually become visible in the client.

dondi commented 12 years ago

Specific food preferences to include are: vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, and nut allergy. Presumably there should be catch-all text for anything else.

It’s possible that these choices are reflected only in the client, with the server storing a free text string.

The server side for this is done, and it was decided that these preferences be left as free text at the database level. For standardization, the client side can offer common values (see two comments above), to be saved as straight-up strings in the database.

cblokker and mpro34 will work on this on a fork.
