I am unable to understand how to function the Custom Recipe Generator Project, it is not clearly explained in the text and the video. Please explain each point and function in detail.
Here is a brief explanation of the Custom Recipe Generator Project:
This code creates a custom recipe generator using Flask, OpenAI, and HTML with JavaScript.
- Imports and API Key Configuration:
- The code imports necessary modules:
openai
for AI interactions,os
for environment variables, andFlask
for web framework. - It sets the OpenAI API key using an environment variable.
- Recipe Generation Function:
generate_tutorial(components)
: This function interacts with the OpenAI API to generate a recipe based on the provided ingredients. It sends a prompt to the AI to create a recipe and returns the generated content.
- Flask Web Application:
- The Flask app is instantiated with
app = Flask(__name__)
. - Two routes are defined:
'/'
: Handles GET and POST requests. If a POST request is made, it retrieves the ingredients from the form and generates a recipe usinggenerate_tutorial()
. The result is rendered on a simple HTML page.'/generate'
: Handles POST requests for generating recipes, callinggenerate_tutorial()
with the provided ingredients and returning the output.
- HTML Template:
- The HTML template is embedded within the Flask route and includes a form for users to input ingredients.
- JavaScript functions handle the form submission (
generateTutorial()
) and copying the generated recipe to the clipboard (copyToClipboard()
). - The form uses Bootstrap for styling and includes a text input for ingredients and a button to submit the form.
- The recipe output is displayed within a card element, and a “Copy” button allows users to copy the recipe to their clipboard.
- Running the Application:
- The Flask app runs on host
0.0.0.0
and port8080
.
This setup allows users to input a list of ingredients and get a step-by-step recipe generated by OpenAI, which is displayed on a web page and can be easily copied to the clipboard.
If you still face any issue, please feel free to get back to us

@shreyashkanodia You can understand this project by below explainantion in better way:-
Setting Up the Custom Recipe Generator
Step 1: Imports and API Key Configuration
First, you import necessary modules (openai
, os
, sys
, Flask
) and set up your OpenAI API key securely. If the API key is not found in the environment variables, an error message is displayed to guide the user on how to set it up.
from boltiotai import openai
import os
import sys
from flask import Flask, render_template_string, request
# Set up the OpenAI API key
try:
openai.api_key = os.environ['OPENAI_API_KEY']
except KeyError:
sys.stderr.write("""
You haven't set up your API key yet.
If you don't have an API key yet, visit:
https://platform.openai.com/signup
1. Make an account or sign in
2. Click "View API Keys" from the top right menu.
3. Click "Create new secret key"
Then, open the Secrets Tool and add OPENAI_API_KEY as a secret.
""")
exit(1)
Step 2: Recipe Generation Function
Define a function generate_recipe(ingredients)
that interacts with the OpenAI GPT-3.5 model to generate a recipe based on user-provided ingredients. It constructs a prompt for the AI to create a detailed recipe.
def generate_recipe(ingredients):
try:
response = openai.chat.completions.create(
model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
messages=[
{
"role": "system",
"content": "You are a helpful recipe assistant"
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": f"Provide a recipe based on the following ingredients: {ingredients}. Make all the title Bold and do not use # * and give content in an organized and readable manner"
}
]
)
return response['choices'][0]['message']['content']
except Exception as e:
return f"An error occurred: {str(e)}"
Step 3: Flask Application Setup
Initialize the Flask application (app = Flask(__name__)
). Define two routes:
'/'
: Handles both GET and POST requests. On POST, it retrieves ingredients from a form submission, callsgenerate_recipe()
with the ingredients, and renders the generated recipe on the HTML page.'/generate'
: Specifically handles POST requests for generating recipes, invokinggenerate_recipe()
and returning the generated content.
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def index():
output = ""
if request.method == 'POST':
ingredients = request.form['ingredients']
output = generate_recipe(ingredients)
return render_template_string('''
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Custom Recipe Generator</title>
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.0-alpha1/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<style>
/* Your CSS styles here */
</style>
<script>
async function generateRecipe() {
// JavaScript function to handle form submission and display output
}
function copyToClipboard() {
// JavaScript function to copy generated recipe to clipboard
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<!-- HTML content for form submission and displaying recipe output -->
</div>
</body>
</html>
''', output=output)
@app.route('/generate', methods=['POST'])
def generate():
ingredients = request.form['ingredients']
content = generate_recipe(ingredients)
return content
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=8080)
Step 4: HTML Template and JavaScript
Your HTML template (index.html
) integrates Bootstrap for styling, includes a form for users to input ingredients, and displays the generated recipe output. JavaScript functions handle form submission (generateRecipe()
) and copying the recipe to the clipboard (copyToClipboard()
).
Step 5: Running the Application
To run the application, execute the Python script. Flask will serve the application on http://localhost:8080/
by default.

Sure, here’s a short explanation of setting up the custom recipe generator:
Setting Up the Custom Recipe Generator
Step 1: Imports and API Key Configuration
- Import necessary modules (
openai
,os
,sys
,Flask
). - Set up your OpenAI API key from environment variables. If the key is missing, an error message guides the user on how to set it up.
Step 2: Flask Application Setup
- Initialize the Flask app.
- Define the
'/'
route to handle GET and POST requests, retrieving ingredients from a form, generating a recipe, and rendering the recipe. - Define the
'/generate'
route to handle POST requests specifically for generating recipes.
Step 3: HTML Template and JavaScript
- Use Bootstrap for styling.
- Create a form for inputting ingredients and display the generated recipe.
- Include JavaScript functions to handle form submission and copying the recipe to the clipboard.
Step 4: Running the Application
- Run the Python script.
- Flask serves the application on
http://localhost:8080/
by default.
