A simple, responsive recipe website built with React + Vite.
This repository contains a small, mobile-first app for browsing, searching and viewing recipes. It's intentionally light so you can swap static data for an API later or extend it however you like.
- Browse recipes in a card/list view
- View recipe details
- Responsive layout — works on mobile and desktop
- React (functional components)
- Vite (dev server + build)
- react-router for navigation
- Plain CSS for styling
Prerequisites
- Node.js 14+ and npm (or yarn/pnpm)
Clone and run
# clone
git clone https://github.com/Krapa007/RecipeBook-Project.git
cd RecipeBook-Project
# install dependencies
npm install
# or: yarn
# dev server
npm run dev
# build for production

Adjust this to match your repo if files are named differently.
If you store recipes as JSON, use a consistent shape. Example minimal object:
{
"id": "choco-chip-cookies",
"title": "Chocolate Chip Cookies",
"time": "25 mins",
"servings": 12,
"tags": ["dessert", "vegetarian"],
"ingredients": [
"2 cups flour",
"1 cup sugar",
"1 cup chocolate chips"
],
"steps": [
"Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).",
"Mix dry ingredients.",
"Fold in chocolate chips and bake 10-12 minutes."
]
}Place an array of these objects in src/data/recipes.json or fetch them from an API.
- Open
src/data/recipes.json(or the data source you use). - Add a new object following the shape above.
- Ensure the
idis unique and URL-safe (kebab-case).
If you use a backend, add a POST endpoint to accept the same shape and update the UI to call it.
/— home / list of recipes/recipes/:id— recipe details- (optional)
/favorites,/submit
If you're using react-router-dom v6, add routes in App.jsx or main.jsx and link with <Link to={...} />.
Check package.json for the exact script names. Typical scripts:
{
"dev": "vite",
"build": "vite build",
"preview": "vite preview"
}If you add ESLint, Prettier or testing later, add scripts like:
npm run lint
npm run testBuild the app (npm run build) and deploy the dist/ folder to a static host such as Vercel, Netlify, or GitHub Pages.
Netlify example:
- Build command:
npm run build - Publish directory:
dist
- Persist recipes to a backend (Node + Express + MongoDB or PostgreSQL)
- User accounts and saved favorites
- Recipe submission form with image upload
- Tag-based filtering (vegetarian, quick, dessert)
- Improve accessibility and add tests
- Fork the repo
- Create a branch:
git checkout -b feat/your-feature - Commit:
git commit -m "Add feature" - Push and open a PR
Keep PRs focused, include screenshots for UI changes, and provide short descriptions.
