creating a console to handle CRUD operations for My
Chef WebApp
1. Define the Class Structure:
· Create a BaseModel class to hold common attributes like id, created_at, and updated_at. ->
Done
· Create a User class that inherits from BaseModel. This class will represent users of the recipe
manager. Done
· Create an Ingredient class that inherits from BaseModel. This class will represent individual
ingredients used in recipes. Done
· Create a Recipe class that inherits from BaseModel. This class will represent individual recipes
and will have attributes like name, instructions, and a list of ingredients. Done
· Create a FileStorage class to manage serialization and deserialization to and from file. -> Done
· Tag Class: If you want to categorize or tag recipes (e.g., by cuisine type, dietary restrictions, etc.),
you can create a Tag class and associate it with recipes.
· Comment Class: If you want to allow users to leave comments or reviews on recipes, you can
create a Comment class.
· Rating Class: To implement a rating system for recipes, you can create a Rating class.
· Search and Filtering: Consider implementing a class or module for searching and filtering recipes.
This could help users find recipes more easily based on criteria like ingredients, categories, or
user ratings.
· Image Handling: If you plan to allow users to upload images for their recipes, you might need
classes or utilities for handling image storage and retrieval.
console commands to be created:
User Commands:
· do_create_user: Create a new user account.
· do_login: Allow existing users to log in.
Ingredient Commands:
· do_create_ingredient: Add new ingredients to the database.
· do_list_ingredients: List all available ingredients.
Recipe Commands:
· do_create_recipe: Create a new recipe, specifying its name, instructions, and ingredients.
· do_list_recipes: List all available recipes, including filtering options.
FileStorage Commands:
· do_save: Save the current state of your objects to a file.
· do_load: Load previously saved objects from a file.
Common Commands:
· do_exit or do_quit: To exit the console.
· do_help: Provide information about available command
2. Implement File Storage using JSON:
· Design a file storage mechanism using JSON to save and retrieve user, ingredient, and recipe
data.
3. Console Interface:
· Create a command-line interface that allows users to interact with the Recipe Manager Console.
· Implement commands for adding users, ingredients, and recipes.
· Implement commands for updating ingredients or recipes.
· Implement a command to search for recipes by name or ingredients.
4. User Input Handling and Validation:
· Write functions to handle user input, validate it, and provide appropriate feedback in case of
incorrect inputs.
5. CRUD Operations:
· Implement functions for creating, reading, updating, and deleting users, ingredients, and
recipes.
6. Data Validation and Error Handling:
· Validate user inputs to ensure they are in the correct format and range.
· Implement error handling to gracefully manage unexpected situations.
7. Testing:
· Create unit tests to ensure that your classes and functions work as expected.
8. Documentation:
· Write clear and concise documentation explaining how to use your Recipe Manager Console.
9. Bonus Features:
· Consider adding extra features like recipe categories, cooking time, serving size, and more.
10. Usability and User Experience:
Focus on making the console easy to use and ensuring that users have a smooth experience while
interacting with it.
Remember, you can tackle these tasks one at a time and gradually build up your Recipe Manager
Console. Don't hesitate to start with the core functionality and expand from there. As you work through
each task, you'll gain a deeper understanding of how different components of your console come
together. Good luck with your project!
