This is an intermittent fasting application designed to help users to keep track of when to eat and when to fast. It also contains useful information and calculators including a BMI and calorie calculator as well as links to useful articles.
The user can select the type of fast they wish to do choosing a 16, 18, or 20hr fast.
When the user presses the start button they will be presented with the start and end time of the fast. The start and end time is then sent to local storage so that the timer continues to function when the user leaves or refreshes the site.
The timer uses moment.js to get the start time, end time (start time .add()) and the current time which is used to calculate the digits of the timer and the hours remaining.
The circle display of the timer is created using html/css and the progress is updated by changing the class of the object in js. credit to (https://tiagobalmeida.github.io/posts/making-a-pure-css-circular-progress-bar.html) for the stylesheet, which was then edited to give the desired styling.
The percentage of the timer is calculated by converting the time remaining in the fast to hours and minutes and converting the minutes to metric minutes (100 mins in hr) and combining the two values.
When a user ends a fast they are presented with their time and the fasting time is stored in local storage and rendered to the page as a graph.
The users previous fast are stored in local storage as an array, that data is then used to render a bar graph to the page. The height of the bars is determined by calculating pixel height of the values representing the number of hours fasted.
The user can utilise this simple BMI calculator to get data on their body mass index, ultimately assisting keeping their overall health in check and to see where healthy adjustments might need to be made. BMI Calculator API malaaddincelik-Fitness-Tracker
This part of the application is able to take the users input of the desired food and then an amount for example 2 eggs, and show them a calorie value to help with controling their calorie intake. This section is also designed to, in the future, take data provided by personal calorie burning trackers to then keep a live reading of daily calorie intake and calories burnt using the calculator, local storage and the data provided by a thrid party technology. Calorie Calculator API edamam-nutrition-analysis
The user can navigate over to the resources page to quickly grab some information. For the moment we've used just a New York Times article search to give articles related in some way to health and fitness, with plans to add more assisting information. For example we would add a recipe generator, it can be random or selected from a list provided and will feature filters to control dietary requirements or preferred ingredients. I will also use the main fasting timer to link up with and if the option is selected it can provide them with a recipe suggestion. This section is also open to whatever information the user requires.
