About TheCocktailApp

TheCocktailApp is the result of the course project I did for my React JS classes as part of the Full Stack Web Developer Program at Business College Helsinki. This is a full stack project. The front-end is built with React and the backend is built with Symfony.

The initial idea was to make a website for cooking recipes. However I wanted to make use of TheCocktailDB which is an open, crowd-sourced database of drinks and cocktails from around the world. Based on this, I desgined the app on Figma. As I was developing the website, the project requirements evolved and we were tasked with creating our own API.

Since I was learning PHP in parallel, I created a RESTful API for my website. You can check out the API page here. IBA official cocktails are stored in JSON files while contributed recipes are stored in an SQL database. Read more about this project on my portfolio website.
