Recipe is a web application that helps users discover and save their favorite recipes. This project consists of both backend and frontend development, with a focus on creating a user-friendly experience for recipe enthusiasts. The project leverages modern technologies for both the backend and frontend, aiming to provide an efficient and delightful recipe search and management platform.
- Node.js: We've chosen Node.js as our backend runtime environment, allowing us to build a fast and scalable server.
- Express.js: Our backend is built using the Express.js framework, known for its ease of use and powerful features.
- RESTful API: We've implemented RESTful API endpoints to handle recipe search and user preferences, providing a simple and consistent way to interact with the server.
- Third-party API Integration: We've integrated with the Spoonacular API (https://spoonacular.com/food-api) to fetch recipe data based on user searches, ensuring access to a wide variety of recipes.
- User Registration and Authentication: Users can register and authenticate using Opaque Authentication Token (OAT) for a secure and convenient login process.
- Database: User data and preferences, such as saved recipes, hashed-password, are stored in a MongoDB database.
- React.js: Our frontend is built using React.js, offering a responsive and dynamic user interface.
- User-Friendly Design: We've designed and implemented a user interface that enables users to search for recipes using keywords or filters, making the recipe discovery process effortless.
- Recipe Display: Search results are displayed with relevant recipe information, including title, image, and a summary, ensuring users can quickly find what they're looking for.
- Recipe Details Page: Users can explore detailed recipe information, including ingredients, instructions, and nutritional data, all in one place.
- Favorite Recipes: Our application allows users to save their favorite recipes and view them later, creating a personalized recipe collection.
- Responsive Design: The frontend is responsive, ensuring a consistent and enjoyable experience across various devices.
- Cross-browser Compatibility: We've tested and optimized the application for cross-browser compatibility to reach as many users as possible.
