Introduction
In this blog, we'll be building a Recipe Finder Website using React. This app allows users to search for their favorite recipes, view trending or new recipes, and save their favorite ones. We will leverage the Edamam API to fetch real-time recipe data and display it dynamically on the website.
Project Overview
The Recipe Finder allows users to:
- Search for recipes by name.
- View trending and newly added recipes.
- View detailed information about individual recipes.
- Add recipes to a favorites list and persist the data using
localStorage
.
Features
- Search Functionality: Users can search for recipes by entering a query.
- Trending Recipes: Displays currently trending recipes from the API.
- New Recipes: Displays the latest recipes from the API.
- Recipe Detail: Displays detailed information about a selected recipe.
- Favorites: Allows users to add recipes to a favorites list, which is saved locally.
Technologies Used
- React: For building the user interface.
- React Router: For navigation between different pages.
- Edamam API: For fetching recipes.
- CSS: For styling the application.

Installation
To run this project locally, follow these steps:
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/abhishekgurjar-in/recipe-finder.git
cd recipe-finder
- Install the dependencies:
npm install
- Start the React app:
npm start
Obtain your Edamam API credentials (API ID and API Key) from the Edamam website.
Add your API credentials inside the pages where API calls are made, such as
Home.js
,Trending.js
,NewRecipe.js
, andRecipeDetail.js
.
