What's For Dinner? -React Front End

DEMO LINK

Description

Today I challenged myself to complete a front end React app in one day.

It took me 10 hours from inception to deployment.

Technologies Used

• JavaScript ES6+
• JSX
• React (Components, Hooks(State and Refs), Fragments)
• Bootstrap 5 (the new 5.2 beta)
• Heroku
• Git and Github

I used the Spoontacular API which provides 150 free API calls per day.

Features

Input what you have in your fridge/pantry/cold cellar, and it will return a dozen recipes that use those items, and indicate additional ingredients you need. Then click thru for the detailed recipe.

Lessons Learned During Development

• Working under a time crunch - it's better make things work now, then make the pretty later
• Simple is better -> this project has very few dependencies
• It's amazing what you can accomplish when you focus
