Devlog #5

Slow progression

Hey guys!
Unfortunately, I’ve been really busy with school since it started, so I can’t work as much as before.
Today all I could do is being able to select the meals, and I also fixed the filters not showing up.

Right now, I am mostly focusing on the JavaScript rather than the CSS, but I will work on it too once I finish with the important parts.

Byeee thanks for reading!

Nothing works

Hi guys!

Sooo today I tried adding the filters for the search, but it doesn’t really work. I don’t know why, but all the filters do not show. I will look into this tomorrow since today I don’t have any time for it…

Hopefully I will get it working quickly so I can start working some more on the styling.

That’s everything for today, thanks for reading!!

Byee

API is working

Hey guys!

Today I worked a bit more with the API and I think I now fully understand how it works. Now when clicking Lunch and Dinner, the results will have many different dishes ranging from Seafood to Chicken meals. Ignore the style for now because that’s just to test everything.

Also, I am planning to add a filter where you can select categories manually so you can filter meals based on your preferences and if you can’t find anything appealing in the starting page, you can always use the search bar, which now isn’t really working but I’ll do it sooner or later :)

Thank you, guys, as always for reading
Have a great day!!

Work in progress

Hello everyone!
Today I explored TheMealDB which I will use to fetch all meals. Right now, I started experimenting with it, so what you see will be gone in the next devlogs.

So right now, I just have it working on the Breakfast button, because it’s the easiest one since TheMealDB has a category breakfast and I can simply request it like that. For Lunch and Dinner there are no dedicated categories, and I will implement a menu where you can choose different kind of meals, like Pasta, Chicken, Seafood and so on, and will fetch the meals based on the choices.

That’s everything for today. In the upcoming days I will be slower in posting devlogs and writing code because school is starting… so I won’t have as much free time as I did until now.

Bye!! Thanks for reading

What’s Fresh?

Hii guys!
So today I randomly woke up thinking about something to complete the Frictionless mission, and so I thought about doing a Meal Planner application. You basically can:

• Plan what you’re going to eat today, you can do this in the morning, this way you won’t have to worry about it in the morning
• Plan your whole week! You can select meals for each day of the week. So if you select noodles for lunch on Monday, if you check the app on Monday morning, you will already see on the “Today’s Meals” page what you had planned before.

I think that could be useful for some people, or at least me, because I never plan my meals and end up last minute having to decide

Also, one feature I think I’ll add, is to take all the ingredients needed for the meals you chose and generate a grocery list, so you won’t have to manually check each single one and waste time doing it yourself.

I attached a picture of what I did now, I’m not too sure about the colors, I love the green and cream (if that’s cream) color but let me know about it! I am willing to change the palette.

Bye guys! Have a great day :)
