Recipes with friends

https://recipes-with-friends.onrender.com/

Goals:

I'm always annoyed when I search for a new recipe and I have to scroll down for 3 minutes just to get down to the actual instructions. That's why I thought about building this app, where you and your friends can share your favourite recipes.

The main targets for the app were:

  • Allow users to register and upload their recipes
  • Recipes consist of the title, difficulty badge, instructions with the ability to format the text and an image
  • Recipes can be viewed in one place, and each recipe can be accessed individually
  • Recipes can be liked and commented on. Comments can also be liked.
  • Users can access the profiles of other users to preview all posts made by them

Technologies used:

  • JavaScript
  • EJS templating language
  • Mongo and Mongoose
  • Node and Express

Difficulties encountered

  • Implementing the QuillJS to provide users with the ability to format the text before uploading it. I got stuck on the implementing it for a bit. Specifically on how to save the data as a rich text in the database and then how to inject the data as raw HTML to the view.

What I've learnt

  • I gained a better understanding of how full-stack applications work

Further improvements

  • Lazy loading of recipes
  • Styling improvements
  • Improve registering process by adding new passport strategies
