🍽️ recipeek

Simple recipe discovery app using Edamam Recipe Search API.

Overview

This is a React application scaffolded from a create-react-app template. It displays a single input field to query recipes based on ingredients provided by the user. Under the hood, the client application communicates with a Netlify Lambda function which handles the API request to the 3rd party Edamam recipe search endpoint.

Requirements

Netlify

You will need to have the netlify-cli installed in order to run the ntl dev command below. You'll need to install the CLI globally

npm install -g netlify-cli

Edamam API Keys

You will also need to obtain your own set of API app_id and app_key from the Edamam developer portal. You can place them in a .env file at the root folder like so:

REACT_APP_RECIPEEK_APP_ID=yourappid
REACT_APP_RECIPEEK_APP_KEY=yourappkey

Redis

The Netlify Lambda function connects to a remote Redis server living on a Digital Ocean droplet as a container. To run locally, you can spin up a Redis container from the Dockerfile provided. You will need to include the following environment variables in an .env file in order for the Node Redis client to connect:

REACT_APP_REDIS_HOST=localhost
REACT_APP_REDIS_PORT=6379 (or whichever port you map on your host)
REACT_APP_REDIS_PASSWORD=somepassword (this is defined in the redis.conf file)

Development

1. yarn install
2. ntl dev to startup local Netlify development server
3. Navigate to http://localhost:8888
