Purpose
This change provides the ability to easily see a list of recipes between a date range and grouped by category (e.g. main, dessert, side).
The marketing team asked for this as they want customers to have a place where they can easily filter recipes between two dates, and customers generally want this grouped by category. In the future, the marketing team said they will likely be adding new categories of recipes.
The marketing team told us customers regularly access this data on the go from their mobile devices, so the page should also be responsive.
I was not provided any wireframes for how this should look, and so I have gone with a grid system using flexbox so that it is responsive.
Approach
I have created some backend and frontend code. The backend code loads the recipe data between two dates and groups by category (currently loaded from a JSON of recipes, this will be a database of recipes at some point).
The backend has an API endpoint
recipes/which returns recipes provided between two dates. For example:recipes/?start_date=2022-07-25&end_date=2024-08-25The frontend allows a user to enter the dates they want to filter by, and then shows the recipes in a grid format. I've attached a screenshot of how this looks with some recipes:
