The main idea was to implement the most simple vending machine. My exemplar can do only the main functions:

• You can pay for your tea with only one available coin;
• You can choose sort of tea;
• You can take your tea.

I decided to focus on this functions because they are represent a full cycle of user experience with this vending.

I omit such functions as

• a certain type of coins intake;
• change giving;
• give a fake money back;
• payment with credit card;
• choose extensions (add sugar/milk);
• limit goods in machine;
• maintaining (open and take money, add tea to machine);
• etc. because this functions are can be added on existing code structure.

Interface made flat and structured as real machine - it has Pay and Controls block, Showcase and Delivery parts. Elements styled with BEM.

Disadvantages: Was not tested on mobiles. It's not pixel-perfect either.

npm start

It works, have simple structure, have hot loader, set for React, Redux, SCSS applications.

I try to keep project minimalistic, so use only necessary libraries and tools. Test-tools and jQuery were removed as excess.

Is required.

Logic of vending machine is simple to imagine in Redux ideas, because real vending is literally reacts on user actions.

Used to follow some rules to provide code maintenance. Some rules were changed in purpose to fit project needs.
