Technologies Used

As a user, I want to rate my recipes, so I know which ones are the best.
Add tags to recipes: GF, VEGAN ETC
As a user, I want to add a recipe with ingredients and instructions, so I remember how to prepare my favorite dishes.
As a user, I want to tag my recipes with different categories, so recipes are easier to find. A recipe can have many tags and a tag can have many recipes.
As a user, I want to be able to update and delete tags (Meals), so I can have flexibility with how I categorize recipes.
As a user, I want to edit my recipes, so I can make improvements or corrections to my recipes.
As a user, I want to be able to delete recipes I don't like or use, so I don't have to see them as choices.
As a user, I want to see all recipes that use a certain ingredient, so I can more easily find recipes for the ingredients I have.

As a user, I want to create an account.
As a user, I want to be able to log in and log off.
As a user, I want to be able to see my account details.

Add authorization:

 As a user, I should only be able to create, update and delete if I am logged in. All users should be able to have read functionality.

If not signed in, can not leave comment
Leaving comment attaches userName to comment
As a user, I want to list my recipes by highest rated so I can see which ones I like the best (each recipe has rating average (details) sort recipes by ratings on recipes index page.)

.NET 6 or greater is required for set up, and dotnet-ef to manage migrations.
To establish locally, download the repository to your computer.
Open the folder with your terminal and run dotnet restore to gather necessary resources.
In the production direction, /RecipeBox run $ touch appsettings.json
In appsettings.json, enter the following, replacing USERNAME and PASSWORD to match the settings of your local MySQL server.

{
    "ConnectionStrings": {
        "DefaultConnection": "Server=localhost;Port=3306;database=RecipeBox;uid=USERNAME;pwd=PASSWORD;"
    }
}

A local instance of MySQL (8.0.0 or greater) is required to be set up and running to use the project, for information on installing and configuring MySQL, please see the official documentation.
If you do not have dotnet-ef installed, first install it by running dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef --version 6.0.0
Run dotnet ef database update to create the database based on the provided database migrations.
To start the projet, in the production directory, run the command dotnet run on your terminal.

When a user goes to add a Meal type to a recipe if they don't choose any checkboxes nothing happens. I want an error msg and to stay on that page. Temp fix: Breakfast box is checked as default. Otherwise it redirects to the page but is no longer attached to the recipe by Id anymore and no error msg shows.
