Recipe Repository

I started this project as a way to keep track of all my recipes from various sites in one location. I've learned quite a bit about Django in the process and working on learning some front end to make it look nicer.

Features

• Keep track of all your recipes in a single site.
• Search all recipes featuring desired ingredients.

Requirements

• Python 3
• Django
• Heroku (optional for deployment)

Build Instructions

1. Clone the repository
2. Run pip install requirements.txt.
3. Run $ python manage.py shell -c 'from django.core.management import utils; print(utils.get_random_secret_key())' to generate your own Django key.
4. Copy generated key to .env and replace placeholder key in the first line DJANGO_KEY=<KEY>.
5. Run python manage.py migrate to create database.
6. Create an admin account with python manage.py createsuperuser and fill in prompts.
7. Start the app with python manage.py runserver.

How to deploy to Heroku

1. Create an account on Heroku.
2. Run through installation and setup at https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-python.
3. Create a new Heroku app with heroku create
4. Log into Heroku and navigate to your new app and go to Settings and in inside Config vars create DJANGO_KEY and paste the key you generated during the build; the same as in the .env file.
5. While in the app, go to Deploy tab and select your prefered deployment method.
6. Then click the more button next to open app and run console. Enter python manage.py migrate to create your deployed database.
7. You will also need to create a new admin user so be sure to run python manage.py createsuperuser via the console as well.

Recipe Format

Look at sample.json for an example of recipe format. I suggest condensing it before pasting into database field.
