Congratulations! You're submitting your assignment!

Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
How did you go about exploring the Edamam API, how did you try querying the API?

After spending lots of time poring over Edamam's own docs, I spent another large block of time poking at the API with Postman. Without Postman, I would have been totally lost.

Describe your API Wrapper. How did you decide on the methods you created? |

My API wrapper has two methods: one for getting search results and one for retrieving information about a specific recipe. I chose these because, well, that's what the assignment specified.

Describe an edge case or failure case test you wrote for your API Wrapper. |

For the recipe detail function, I wrote tests for if users try to key in an exogenous URI, instead of just clicking the button and sending a get request with the URI of one of the recipes displayed on the site.

Explain how VCR aids in testing an API. |

It creates a little pen in which you can test the behavior of your code against pre-recorded responses to previous API calls. That way, you don't have to make a fresh API call for every test you run.

What is the Heroku URL of your deployed application? |

https://victualizer.herokuapp.com/

Provide a link to the Trello board you used |

What We're Looking For

Feature	Feedback
Core Requirements
Git hygiene	Good number of commits and good commit messages
Comprehension questions	Check, but please don't break the markdown table when you're filling it out. If you do, just fix it.
General
Rails fundamentals (RESTful routing, use of named paths)	The show path isn't restful
Semantic HTML	Check
Errors are reported to the user	Check, but hilarious messages
API Wrapper to handle the API requests	Check
Controller testing	Check
Lib testing	Check
Search Functionality	Check
List Functionality	Check
Show individual item functionality (link to original recipe opens in new tab)	Check, doesn't open in a new tab, but that's a minor quibble.
Styling
Responsive layout	Somewhat responsive, it only adjusts from 3 to 4 columns, not any further. It does shrink content however. The show action works well however.
List View shows 10 items at a time/pagination	Check
The app is styled to create an attractive user interface	It look ok, good use of flexbox.
API Features
The App attributes Edaman	Check
The VCR casettes do not contain the API key	Check
External Resources
Link to Trello Board	Check
Link to deployed app on Heroku	Check
Overall	Well done! You hit all the learning goals, nice work. One note being your show path isn't a RESTful route, but otherwise you got it all.
