Sections and Navigation

1. Authentication
2. Home Feed
3. Recipe Details
4. Search Food
5. Recipe Upload
6. Shopping
7. Profile

All these sections are divided into two pages, index and home. In which the index contains all the elements related to the user login and the home page contains the elements related to the usability of the app itself.

Apart from Authentication, all sections are on a single page in order to reduce loading time and thus improve the user experience during navigation.

In this way the app is navigated through custom states, which indicate which elements should appear or hide while the user interacts. Thus, a good practice is to use option sets, which avoid possible typing errors in the process of defining custom states.

Each attribute is related to one element and defines which screen should be presented to the user.

Option Set and Data

During the development of our app, we may encounter situations where we require static lists of data. For instance, we might need to represent weekdays, menu tabs in our navigation bar, or different levels of user access. While we can create a custom data type for such lists, another approach is to utilize Option Sets. Option Sets offer several advantages, primarily their static nature and improved performance compared to data sets.

So we use in our case Cooking level, Health Goal, Preparation time. However, the user is free to add more attributes, or to create new option sets that best fit his or her needs.

1. Cooking level - shows how difficult it is to prepare the dish



2. Health Goal - A health goal refers to a specific objective or target that an individual sets to improve or maintain their overall well-being and physical condition.



3. Preparation time - Refers to the amount of time required to complete the necessary tasks before actually cooking a meal or recipe.



4. Like the option set, the data type can be customized according to the user's needs when adding new functionality to the platform. In our template we used 7 data types:



5. Category - a category refers to a classification or grouping of recipes based on the time of day. We also refer to a color and an icon that represents this category.



6. Comments - In this data type are stored the comments, who liked it and to which recipe it refers.



7. Ingredients - In this data type you store the ingredients, their respective quantities and to which recipe it refers.



8. Nutrition Facts - In this data type the Nutrition facts are stored, their respective quantities and to which recipe it refers.



9. Recipe - In this data type all the information regarding the preparation of the recipe is stored, like description, preparation video, etc. In addition, this data type integrates with other previously defined tables and option sets, such as Cooking Time, Ingredients and the list of users that saved the recipe.



10. Users - In this data type all information regarding the user is stored, including the list of other users he follows and the users who follow him, the liked and saved recipes.



11. Utensils - In this data type the Utensils used are stored, their respective quantities and to which recipe it refers.
