Designed a website in C# and asp.NET that lets users search for the recipes of cocktails and mocktails by their names or ingredients @http://net4.ccs.neu.edu/home/motwani/Project/Home.aspx Developed a service to consume JSON recipe data from Yummly, interfacing it with the web application. Problems: Shutting down of an API I had initially chosen the BigOvenRecipe API but just 10 days before the project submission, the API was shutdown for maintenance, leading to a lot of code changes.
Pagination "Showing 0 - 10 of possible 35 matches" and will show you 10 or less than 10 results with no Next button. This is because while searching by name a user will enter as common words as "chocolate", "spicy", "spicy sunrise",etc. and since the Yummly API hosts searches for chocolates, food, beverages and many more I had to filter the results that had all the strings in it.
What could be added: Login Feature: User will be able to save his favorite drinks. User could comment on drinks for questions and may be on the flavor after making it. User could rate a drink. Search by Nutrition Estimates and Flavors: The search in each category could be refined based on the nutrition estimates and flavors like salty, meaty, bitter, etc. Offline availability of recipes: Store the recipes in a database, mostly for mobile applications.
