iOS

TODO

Optional Configuration

If you would like to use features which utilize the brewerydb API, please create an account and get your own API key here. This should be added to your openbrews/config.json file. If you do not have a config.json file, copy and rename openbrews/example.config.json.

Note: To make requests to the BreweryDB API in the browser you will need to allow CORS in the browser you are using.

Tech Stack

This app is built using Ionic Framework, which is built on AngularJS. If you have no idea what Ionic is, and only know AngularJS, you'll probably be fine. We are also leveraging Ionic CSS (rather than Bootstrap). Other than that, the project uses GULP, Bower, and SCSS.

Goals

Beta Pre-Release

We now have an Alpha release out, and we're working hard to deliver updates as fast as we can. Once the app is more stable and polished, we will release a Beta version on Android.

Release 1

Release 1 will focus on delivering a core Recipe Builder app. It will be a standalone application, except for some data-gathering API calls to BreweryDB.

Future

Down the line, I would like to have an Web App and an API that allows persistance of recipes across devices, public sharing of recipes, and more!
