https://hatchways.notion.site/hatchways/Back-End-Practice-Assessment-0a110db665384575a94d93faab787f0e
Tasks Include:
- Build a GET route that returns all recipe names.
- Build a GET route that takes a recipe name as a string param. Return the ingredients and the number of steps in the recipe as JSON
- Add a POST route that can add additional recipes in the existing format to the backend with support for the above routes.
- Add a PUT route that can update existing recipes.
- Utilize unit tests
