Just The Recipe
This app allows you to search for recipes on the web, and add them to different cookbooks that you create. The cookbooks are saved as text files so that you can return to them when you're not using the app.
The app uses a combination of the Edamam API (to search for recipes) and a URL scraper that allows you to input recipe URLs so that you can strip out "Just the Recipe".
Your cookbooks are re-instantiated when you enter the app again so you can continue adding to them over time.
Installation
Because we save your cookbooks as text files, its best to have this app live in its own repository. Clone down this git repository and then use bundle to install the dependencies:
$ git clone https://github.com/george-dilthey/just-the-recipe.git
$ bundle install
Usage
API Access
To use this gem, you'll need to obtain a free APP ID and APP Key from https://www.edamam.com. Once you have these, create a .env file and add these lines at the top:
APP_ID = {YOUR APP ID}
APP_KEY = {YOUR APP KEY}
Alternatively, you can call JustTheRecipe.authorize({YOUR APP ID}, {YOUR APP KEY}) before making any other calls, but this will need to be done every time you re-enter the app.
Running the app
Run the app by running the bin file just-the-recipe.
$ bin/just-the-recipe
If you get a permission denied error, run this to give the bin file run permissions:
$ chmod +x bin/just-the-recipe
Alternatively, you can call the JustTheRecipe::CLI.new.call method.
Supported Websites
Both the search function and the scrape function rely on scraping a website's recipe schema. Any website that has properly implemented this schema should be scrapable, but these sites have been tested specifically.
