solo-project

An application to allow users to hold their recipes + track nutrition information in one place :)

Goals

• Core idea: lifestyle/nutrition tracking app
  • Connect to a nutrition API
  • Text box for users to search for food items
  • Add food to individual days/meals? (not implemented)
• Secondary idea:
  • Allow users to set RECIPES
    • Combine foods into saved recipes for users to re-add later
• Stretch goal:
  • Allow users to track workouts

Core Idea + MVP

[ x ] Connect to a nutrition API (https://developer.edamam.com/edamam-nutrition-api was the first google search result + has a free option with fewer calls)

• this one is not working --> attempting to use the edamam recipes api
• only has full recipes, looking for another food API
• attempt 3: https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/fdc-app.html#/

[ x ] Generate a search box for users to search for food items

• currently not working (can't search)
• now generates a search box that works but all code is stuck in App.jsx
• fixed! code is now separated out with redux + prop drilling

[ x ] Specify recipes of foods?

• currently can add list of ingredients in a recipe but cannot list their nutritional information

Stretch

[ ] Add specific recipes to days?

Recipes

Allow users to combine foods into saved recipes for users to come back to later

[ x ] set up SQL database system for foods + recipes

[ x ] functionality to add recipes into the database

[ x ] functionality remove recipes into the database

[ x ] functionality to alter recipes in the database

Stretch

[ ] ability to add those recipes to specific days + meals

Stretch Goal: Workouts --- will not have time for this

[ ] create a SQL database system for workouts

[ ] find a way to specify caloric burn? - another API?

[ ] TO COMPLETE ONLY IF I GET HERE...
