Recipe Meal Planner using Django

In this article, we will create the Recipe Meal Planner using Django step-by-step. Generally, we will implement the CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations, allowing users to add the recipe name, day, and the recipe itself. Additionally, we will establish a login system, requiring users to register and log in before creating the recipe meal planner. Once the user has added all the daily recipe information, they simply need to click a single button. Subsequently, a PDF form will be generated, which the user can save for future reference.

Here, we will create the step-by-step Recipe Meal Planner using Django.

Create Project Folder

To start the project and app use this command

django-admin startproject core
cd core
python manage.py startapp home

Now add this app to the ‘settings.py’

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    "django.contrib.admin",
    "django.contrib.auth",
    "django.contrib.contenttypes",
    "django.contrib.sessions",
    "django.contrib.messages",
    "django.contrib.staticfiles",
    "home",
]

Setting Necessary Files

models.py: Here, the below code defines a Django model named Recipe with fields for user, day, name, and description. The user field is a foreign key to the built-in User model, allowing a null value on deletion. The default values for day, name, and description are set to ‘something’.

Python3

from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
 
#Create mode for receipt
class Recipe(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.SET_NULL, null=True, blank=True)
    day = models.CharField(max_length=100, default='something')
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100, default='something')
    description = models.CharField(max_length=100, default='something')

views.py: Here, the below code defines a Django application for recipe management, including functionalities for creating, updating, and deleting recipes. It also handles user authentication with login, registration, and logout features. Additionally, there is a basic PDF generation feature for recipes, with the ability to search and filter recipes by day.

Python3

#import all libraries

admin.py :Here we are registering our models.

Python3

from django.contrib import admin
from .models import *
from django.db.models import Sum
 
admin.site.register(Recipe)

urls.py : Here, the Django URL patterns include routes for user authentication (login, logout, register), recipe handling (view, update, delete), and a PDF generation endpoint. These paths are associated with corresponding views from the ‘home’ app.

Python3

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path
from home import views
 
urlpatterns = [
    path('logout/', views.custom_logout, name="logout"),
    path('pdf/', views.pdf , name='pdf'),
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('login/' , views.login_page, name='login'),
    path('register/', views.register_page, name='register'),
     
    path('', views.recipes, name='recipes'),
    path('update_recipe/<id>', views.update_recipe, name='update_recipe'),
    path('delete_recipe/<id>', views.delete_recipe, name='delete_recipe'),
]
