Recipe Finder

Recipe Finder is a mobile application that allows users to search for recipes based on keywords and view recipe details. The app also allows users to add recipes to their favorites and stores their search history.

Keywords

DDD (Domain Driven Design)
MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel architecture)
DI (Dependency Injection) management
Multi-Modularization: Development of application logic by dividing it into separate modules
Local database management using SQFlite and Shared Preferences
SOLID principles (as long as possible): Implementation of the Single Responsibility, Open-Closed, Liskov Substitution, Interface Segregation, and Dependency Inversion principles for improving code quality

To-do

Add a "Random Recipe" feature for users to find a recipe randomly.
Filter search results by dietary requirements.
Add a recipe-sharing feature.

Features

Recipe search: Users can search for recipes using keywords.
Recipe details: Users can view details for any recipe by clicking on it.
Add to favorites: Users can add recipes they like to their favorites.
Search history: Users can view their previous searches and perform them again.

Architecture

This project is designed using the MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) architecture to separate data, business logic and user interface layers, making it more modular and maintainable.
Domain-Driven Design (DDD) principles were applied to organize the business logic around business domains and clarify their relationships, making the application more scalable and maintainable.
The application was developed using MVVM and DDD principles. MVVM helps maintain a balance between the functionality of the user interface layer and the independence of the data layer. DDD provides a framework for organizing the business logic, allowing for extensibility.
The project is designed using the MVVM and DDD principles. MVVM separates the different layers of the application, making it easier to maintain, while DDD provides a structure for the business logic to be organized, making the application more scalable.
MVVM and DDD principles were used to develop the application. MVVM provides a balance between the functionality of the user interface layer and the independence of the data layer, while DDD helps organize the business logic and allows for the application to be extended.

Getting Started

To run the app, you can follow these steps:

Clone this repository.
Run flutter pub get to install dependencies.
Run flutter run to start the app.

Note: To run the application, you need to add the following parameters when running the flutter run command:

--dart-define="app_id=your_app_id"
--dart-define="app_key=your_app_key"

I used the following API for food recipes. Edamam Recipe API

Code Generation

This project uses code generation to reduce boilerplate code and improve development speed. The following tools are used:

json_serializable: Used for JSON serialization/deserialization.
build_runner: Used for running code generation tasks.

To generate the code, run the following command:

flutter pub run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs

This will generate the necessary code for JSON serialization/deserialization. You should run this command every time you make changes to any files that use the @JsonSerializable annotation.

If you encounter any issues with code generation, try running the following command to clean up generated files before running build_runner:

flutter pub run build_runner clean
