Code A Cuisine

Generate recipes from your available ingredients, save them to a library, and revisit favorites by cuisine.

Features

• Ingredient-based recipe generation with preferences (cuisine, diet, cook time, portions).
• Recipe results with summaries and full details.
• Cookbook page with cuisine navigation.
• Cuisine library with pagination and recipe detail view.
• IP and global quota enforcement via n8n (with user-facing messages).

Tech Stack

• Angular 17 (standalone components)
• Firebase Firestore
• n8n for orchestration and AI workflow

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js + npm
• Firebase project with Firestore enabled
• n8n instance (self-hosted or cloud)

Install

npm install

Run

npm start

Then open http://localhost:4200.

Configuration

Edit src/environments/environment.ts:

• firebase: your Firebase app config
• n8nWebhookUrl: the n8n webhook used for recipe generation
• n8nQuotaUrl: optional endpoint to display remaining quota before generation

Data Model (Firestore)

Collections used:

• recipeRequests: request status and generated results
• recipes: flattened recipe library entries used by the cuisine pages
• quotaIpDaily / quotaGlobalDaily: daily quota counters (written by n8n)

n8n Integration

n8n is used to handle recipe generation and quota checks. For detailed workflow setup, contact the repository owner.

Scripts

• npm start: run the dev server
• npm run build: build the app
• npm test: run unit tests

Notes

• The cuisine library page relies on Firestore indexes for queries by cuisine and createdAt.
• If a query error mentions missing indexes, create the suggested index in Firebase Console.
