Clean Spoon

Have you ever thrown out groceries because you didn't know what to make?

Clean Spoon lets you track what's in your fridge, find thousands of recipes based on the food you have, and add ingredients you need to your shopping list.

You can also reference the recipes you like with our saved recipes feature, or send your shopping list to your phone via SMS.

Contributors

This was a group project for the Lighthouse Labs web development full-time bootcamp. Contributions by Rachel Gould, Patrick O'Connor, and Tristan Berezowski.

Development

Our basic tech stack is Ruby on Rails on the back-end, and React on the front-end. It uses external APIs from Qwant (for supplying ingredient images), Twilio (for SMS notification with shopping list), and Yummly (for searching and retrieving recipes).

Overview

create-react-app configures a Webpack development server to run on localhost:3000. This development server will bundle all static assets located under client/src/. All requests to localhost:3000 will serve client/index.html which will include Webpack's bundle.js.

In this example, the React component App makes a request to an API server (server.js). The user's browser visits the Webpack dev server at localhost:3000. Then the React client communicates with the API server when needed at localhost:3001:

This setup uses foreman for process management. Executing foreman start instructs Foreman to boot both the Webpack dev server and the API server.
