EC463: Senior Design Fall 2021

Summary

This repository contains the codebase for an Android app developed using React Native and Google Firebase. This app allows for the user to enter a Universal Product Number code (UPC ID). When entered, the app queries the FDA API and compiles an ingredient list and a total calorie count.

Getting Started

1. First, ensure that your React Native development environment is properly set up. Instructions may be found here.
2. Then, open ./screens/UPCID.js and enter your FDA API key.
3. Navigate to the root directory and run npm install to install the required dependencies.
4. Connect a physical Android device via USB or run an Android emulator.
5. Start the app with npx react-native run-android.

Further reference

This app was developed over the course of a few weeks, and a log of our progress can be found in the ./log/log.md file.

There were a handful of specific features that we were unable to implement; a description of these may be found in report.md.
