Refrigerator + Cookbook (PG3302 Software Design Exam)

A simple C# /.NET 9 console app that lets you track fridge inventory and store recipes in one place. It was built by five students for the December 2024 Software Design final at Kristiania University College.

---

What it does

• Ingredient manager – add, update, list or delete items in a local SQLite DB.
• Cookbook – save recipes (title, steps, link) in a JSON file and search them by title or free‑text.
• Fridge check – warns when a recipe needs more of an ingredient than you have.
• CLI menus (see Program.cs) keep everything keyboard‑only.
• Unit tests – NUnit + in‑memory SQLite cover CRUD paths.

---

Run it

# build + run (requires .NET 9 SDK)
dotnet restore
dotnet run --project ExamSoftwareDev

The first launch seeds ingredients.db with sample items and loads starter recipes from recipes_bbc.json.

Tech stack

• .NET 9 / C# 13
• Entity Framework Core 9 + SQLite (code‑first migrations)
• NUnit 4 (via NUnit3TestAdapter) for tests

Design patterns & principles: MVC layering, Repository + Service layers, dependency injection, SOLID mindset.

---

Known quirks

• Units must match exactly (no automatic g→kg etc.).
• Ingredient update flow lacks some input validation.
• Recipe JSON is single‑threaded; simultaneous writers aren’t handled.
