Usage

Can be used like other DataSupplier plugins. Right-click a layer to fill with recipe information, or use the toolbar Data dropdown.

To fill text layers with the appropriate information, the text layer must be named accordingly.

Below is a short list of the most commonly used fields:

Layer name	Description
title	Title of the recipe
instructions	Full text of recipe preparation instructions
extendedIngredients	Collected list of recipe ingredients
creditText	Name of recipe source
sourceUrl	URL of recipe source

Additional fields are listed in the docs. Image layer names can be anything.

API

This plugin comes bundled with a number of offline recipes that be used without restriction. They can be found here.

If the offline recipes are not enough, this plugin can also connect to Spoonacular's recipe API. Register for a freemium API key through RapidAPI.

In the plugin menu within Sketch, navigate to the Foodreau options and click Set API key.... Your key will persist between sessions.

Advanced

Wanna store your API key on disk? Clone this repo, then create the file srv/.secret.js and store your key like so:

export const spoonacular = {
  'apikey' : 'API_KEY_GOES_HERE'
};

Run npm install to rebuild the plugin, and you should be good to go.
