A simple static [Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com) site for keeping track of recipes. This is my first major Jekyll project, so it might be a little messy.
## Usage
Ensure that you have [Git](https://git-scm.org), [Ruby](https://www.ruby-lang.org) and [RubyGems](https://rubygems.org/) installed.
This will compile the website into the `_site` directory, which you may serve with the HTTP server of your choice.
Alternatively, you can use jekyll's built in server for testing:
```
$ bundle exec jekyll serve
```
However, there won't be much to look at until you add some recipes!
## Recipe file format
Recipes are found in `_recipes/`, with subrecipes located in `_subrecipes/`.
Here's an example recipe, which could be saved to `_recipes/chocolate_cake.yml`:
```yaml
name: Chocolate cake
layout: recipe
ingredients:
- [1, egg, null]
- [2, butter, sticks]
- [2, flour, cups]
# et cetera
method:
- Preheat the oven to 200°C
- Whisk the egg finely
# et cetera
time: 240
```
-`name` (string) - The displayed name of the recipe. Does not appear in the URL.
-`layout` (string) - The template to use; should always be `recipe`.
-`ingredients` (list) - Each entry in `ingredients` consists of an amount, ingredient name, and unit terminology. `[2, flour, cups]` is displayed as `2 cups of flour`, while `[1, egg, null]` is displayed as `1 egg`.
-`method` (list) - A list of steps undertaken to create the recipe, written in plain English. Or whatever language you prefer.
-`time` (string) - The time it takes to make the recipe in minutes.
The recipe's file name isn't important, but it's good practice to make it something obvious, like `chocolate_cake.yml` and not `strawberry_pie.yml`.
### Subrecipes
Subrecipes behave a little differently to regular recipes:
- They don't show up on the home page
- The `time` tag is not supported
-`layout` should be `subrecipe`
Subrecipes have a tag that regular recipes do not - the `parents` tag. This is a list of recipes that the subrecipe should be included in. For example:
```yaml
name: Chocolate icing
parents:
- chocolate_cake
- chocolate_cupcakes
```
The entries in `parents` refer to the filenames of the parent recipes - `chocolate_cake` refers to `chocolate_cake.yml`.
