How does Ginger work?

Ginger integrates two APIs and a few internal databases to function:

  • Slack's API to post message in response to the user.
  • It uses Yummly's API to query recipes for any one randomly selected item that the user marks done.
  • User database, grocery list database and done items database to store information about which user has what items in their grocery list and what was marked done.
