The Explore Page

This is the first page displayed in the app when opened, from here you can scroll through a list of recipes which can be clicked on to view the recipe. This page pulls recipes in from our database 30 at a time using pagination. The recipes in our MongoDB database were scraped from publicdomainrecipes.org

Viewing a Recipe

To view a recipe that catches your eye, simply click on the tile. These tiles are buttons! This is what a recipe looks like in our application.

Creating a Recipe

To create and upload a recipe, simply click the floating green + button and fill out the form. Note: You must be signed in to upload a recipe.

Searching for a Recipe

To search for a recipe in the database, click the search icon on the top right of the explore page.

The Favorites Page

Throughout the application, the recipe tiles will have a small heart icon on the bottom right. To favorite a recipe, press this button and the state of your Favorites page will update to reflect this change. Likewise, you can also unfavorite a recipe. The ability to favorite recipes is only available after signing in.

Cookbooks

Cookbooks are collections of recipes used to help with organization.
