CatFork!

This is an app I built at the end of the second semester, in July or so. React and Redux to deliver a recipe search experience based on enterable ingredients. The process relies on 2 API calls. The substance is the call to the Spoonacular api, querying the ingredients and returning the recipes. The second is the “cat” in CatFork. I discovered the catApi and I figured…because the internet. Check It Out The newCat button gets a new random cat.

If you don’t have the time, these pictures recreate the experience of searching for “tomato, cheese, herbs”, please enjoy: alt text CATS! CatFork! (I put the logo together using GIMP) MMMMMM Tomato Cheese and Herbs! New Cat! OOOh Look at the Recipes! I know the PizzaBites look good but it’s really just tomato sauce and cheese on a cracker.
That heirloom salad looks great! If I press the button…. alt text Yay CatFork!

alt text New Cat! Ideally it’s a different cat than the one immediately above.

That’s CatFork! An excellent excercise in the handling of API calls and URL variables using the React libary. Not a bad recipe app either. I’m expanding the functionality for a class project and coming soon will be:

Login/User Base
Favorite Recipe/Cats Folders
Expanding Search Functionality To Include Nutritional Info, Cusine, Ingredient Substitution
Ingredient/Recipe Conversion, Including Pan-Size Adjustment For Things In Rimmed Pans! (something I’ve always wanted)
Suggest Something! here’s the link to CatFork again incase now you want to experience it firsthand It’s cool… And actually I AM looking for a new job… Feel free to contact me for any reason. Here’s my repo stefanbemelmans898@gmail.com
