The goal of this project is to create a nice, healthy recipe sharing website that is also suitable for people on Keto diet. The target audience are homecooks, new cooks, those who love to share their creations and those who just started cooking or dieting, so basically everyone can benefit from the site. My passion is cooking and healthy cooking. That's why I created this site and I am also a qualified chef so recipes and pictures which I uploaded were already in my repertoar.

Generic

• Easy to navigate website with amazing home cooked recipes
• Find food, that cooked by other “ordinary” people, that means everyone can recreate these recipes at home
• Upload and take pride for those dishes that the user created
• Search Breakfast, Main Meal, Snack, and Keto recipes (which also included in the other categories as well, because even diet food can be easy to make and very taste at the same time)

All Recipes

Users are also able to browse through all the recipes other people have uploaded without searching for selecting special categories. In this case they can get some inspiration and might return to later to cook that recipe, or it is great for those who can’t decide what they fancy to eat or cook

Media used in the project

All recipes uploaded are my own photos and recipes and the images can be found on Cookpad Imager for the base.html was downloaded from Unsplash

Following websites were used for searching for answers

Stckoverflow , mainly rely on this website searching for solution, although never copied code With the documentation on Flask I was using the following website: Flask Many search would come with flask and python questions on the following website: GeekforGeeks How to use SelectMultipleField, although i didn’t end up using it: SelectMultiple

Validators

• HTML *Python

Bugs: *The site was testing regularly, after each class ot app was created and debugger was run constantly on the site. I have had a bug during building the @ all_recipes function as it was not returning all the data from the recipes when it was submitted, it either returned all the recipes or it returned only one category. After reading the documentation and looking at the code on stack overflow I figured the right way to structure the app.

• During login page build the return was either successfully registered and returned to the signed in page or got an error message, figured to swap the code other way around and first declare if the user is not existing then declare that later in the @app route.
• Also used Breakpoint to debug the code most of the time, which helped to know the when is the point my code is executed so it most of the time lead to an answer, instead of searching through massive amount of answers and codes from the web
• Installed and deleted many elements of FlaskForms and wtforms, as found an easier way to deal with the issues. Eg: stacked with the way to upload the image in the recipe and use path. In the end my mentor pointed me in the right direction and gave me a hint to use url to upload images. In this case I can avoid people uploading large data into my database and can reduce viruses being uploaded to the base.
• Issue with the bolean keto button on upload recipe page which in the lack of time led me to the conclusion to just use a string instead a thick box true or false boolean. In the end i changed the keto recipe to a yes or no drop down select field and string
• On the final deployment of the project, Heroku was not deploying my project, so got in touch with the student support where they advise me to update again my requirements.txt with the full list, which work, but in the same time totally destroyed my code, to the extend it was broken in every way it could be. Fixed and changed all session.get(‘existing_user’) in Edit Upload and Login classes and tested the site if it works. When I tried to deploy again in Heroku There was another exact same error message which was fixed before. So got in touch with Student Tutors again. Installed and reinstalled wireframes and forms, disconnected GitHub and Connected again with Heroku. In the end those files were causing the problems which were extras from installations. It affected my werkzeug hashing code but doesn't affected in the database. Most importantly could deployed my project ASAP
