I am getting sick of manually importing recipes into Grocy.

Overcomplication, naturally. Recipe Buddy is a web app which scrapes web pages for the delicious structured metadata embedded therein.

Once the recipe has been extracted from the page, Recipe Buddy gives you a nice easy means to match each of its ingredients up with a product from your Grocy stock, as well as a quantity unit. Once this is done, you simply hit the 'Add Recipe' button, and the TypeScript goblins painstakingly transcribe the recipe into your Grocy instance, ready for meal planning!

"Well gee, George, that sounds mighty swell", I hear you say, "but how does little old me go about harnessing the TypeScript goblins for my own recipe-scraping requirements?"

Well, dear reader, as I am a benevolent goblin-wrangler, I have imprisoned them in some poorly written Dockerfiles for you! All one needs to do to benefit from the gobliny goodness is as follows:

1. Clone this repo into a directory of your choice: git clone https://github.com/georgegebbett/recipe-buddy.git
2. Navigate into this new directory and utter the sacred incantation: docker-compose up
3. Open your favourite browser like the intrepid web-o-naut you are, and visit port 4000 on the machine you ran the aforementioned command on
4. ???
5. Profit

I am not (yet) a professional software engineer. I certainly do not profess to be any good at this stuff. I hereby abdicate any responsibility for the misbehaviour of the TypeScript goblins. If you think you can do better, then open a PR and I will almost certainly merge it without question.

Lots of love, George xoxoxoxo
