Delectables is a web application for users to learn new recipes based on meal. Delectables users are allowed to upload their own recipes, discover new recipes, and comment on them.
Delectables is a personal project developed by Andrea del Rio.
- Securely authenticated User accounts

Delectables was designed and built in a two week period. A proposal was drafted to help provide a timeline during the development process.
Delectables uses the React.js framework and follows the Redux architecture. The backend uses a ruby on rails architecture with json requests sent by a react-redux front end. Images are hosted on Cloudinary to allow for custom resizing.

- Number of backend apis were minimized to reduce complexity
- Filter values were not re-routed in order to ensure the same state, and not require a re-render
- Backend controllers only allow a logged in user with correct priveledges to modify the database
- Users can review a recipe
- User profile pages with lists of recipes
- Users can have icons
