recipe

This platform leverages Django's robust framework to handle recipe management, allowing users to create, store, and share recipes. The platform uses Django's templating engine to dynamically generate HTML pages from backend data, ensuring that each user's interaction is rendered with the relevant recipes, ingredients, and steps.

Each HTML page is customized using Django's built-in template inheritance feature, where a base layout is defined and reused across different pages. The use of template tags allows for powerful conditional rendering and loops, ensuring a seamless integration of recipes, ingredients, and step-by-step instructions directly from the database to the front-end.

In addition to Django's powerful rendering system, custom CSS was designed to give the platform a unique and modern user interface. The platform incorporates a dynamic star rating system, allowing users to visually see each recipe’s rating. By leveraging Django’s templating engine and custom CSS, the platform adjusts the width of a star-filled container based on the recipe's rating, ensuring a smooth and visually appealing rating display. Furthermore, while users can browse and view all recipes created by others, the platform enforces permissions such that only the author of a recipe can edit it. Recipes are linked to the user who created them through Django’s built-in user authentication and foreign key relationships. This ensures that users have full control over their own content, while maintaining the integrity and security of other users' contributions.
