1. create an API endpoint that returns a menu with at least 5 items

2. create an endpoint to create an order. The API should return the total price

3. copy the following code

@app.route('/menu/<string:id>')
def participants(item_id): 
    connect = sqlite3.connect('database.db') 
    cursor = connect.cursor() 
    cursor.execute('SELECT * FROM menu WHERE id =' + item_id + ';')
  
    data = cursor.fetchall()

    return jsonify({'status': data}) 

to your code, select it and ask copilot chat if there are any issues with it.

4. create a Dockerfile

tip: if you do not know how to do something, just ask github copilot chat for help :)
