Summary

We have implemented a lot of great features in this chapter that allows users to find the recipe information they want in a simple and efficient manner. The pagination function we implemented allows the user to quickly find out how many recipes there are in total and navigate them page by page. It also saves the server's resources as it doesn't need to render thousands of recipes in one go.

The search function is another time-saving feature. Users can now look for the recipes they want by performing a simple search. We have also completed the sorting and ordering functions in the Smilecook application, which provide a better browsing experience for users.

So far, we have created almost all of the user functions we need. Our Smilecook platform development is nearing its end. In the next chapter, we will work on internal system optimization, such as HTTP caching and rate-limiting.
