About this project
Frustrated by the inability for me to have a nice service to plan my weekly meals through existing apps (I am looking at you MyFitnessPal), I started using an excel spreadsheet. Now it's time to move to something more structured :)
Planned Structure:
Client:
Built with:
- TypeScript + React
- GraphQL with Apollo
- Material UI
- Firebase
Server
Built with:
- NodeJS
- ExpressJS
- SequelizeJS
- GraphQL
- SQLite
Overall idea
The SQLite implementation will contain the ingredients with the nutritional values The FireBase DB is going to keep store of all each day and each meal, copying the nutritional values of the foods. The frontend will be responsible to calculate calories and macros for each meal and each day. Also I plan to have it able configure the nutritional values that I want to have. Maybe it would be nice to keep a diary for the weight etc.
How to run it
In the server directory create the .env file either by copying the env.example or creating a new one yourself.
Run npm start in both folders: client and server.
