Hopper's Heapin' Jalapeños

CIS-422-Group-Project-2 (Application Demo! Click Me!)

This is the GitHub repository for the second group project for CIS 422 Software Methodologies taught by Dr. Michael Young.

First things, first!

Are you ready to just download and start the application locally? There are two ways!

1. If you have the credientials for Clarifai and the Spoonacular Key, use install.sh
2. If you don't have credientials or the key, you can still download all of the files and necessary packages with install_without_credentials.sh

Looking for documentation?

You should start at the wiki pages!

History of group:

Founded in 2017, Hopper's Heapin' Jalapenos is composed of several contributors.

Have you ever opened your fridge on an empty stomach, only to be discouraged to cook anything because, at a glance, you believe there's no way to make that hodgepodge of ingredients into something tasty? Be discouraged no more! Instead of having to go about the painstaking process of typing in every ingredient you have into some recipe website, the Jalapeños Team has developed this "SnackChat" app to let you expedite the process of building your list of ingredients so you you can get straight to cooking!

How does this work? This app is a light-weight mobile and web-based platform that allows users to input images to generate recipes.

We do this by taking the files you upload and running them through an image tagging API. You can then clarify what your ingredients are through a selection table. Once we have your confirmed list of ingredients sorted out, we then use a recipe API to display the top recipes out there! No typing, no hassle!
