Getting Recipes for a Particular Country

Request:

GET /api/v1/recipes?country=thailand
Content-Type: application/json
Accept: application/json

Response:

The response data should contain exactly these elements and nothing more:

• a data attribute, under which all other attributes are present:
  • collection, each containing the following:
    • id, always set to null
    • type, always set to recipe
    • attributes, containing the following:
      • title
      • url
      • country used for search
      • image url

Example Response:

{
    "data": [
        {
            "id": null,
            "type": "recipe",
            "attributes": {
                "title": "Andy Ricker's Naam Cheuam Naam Taan Piip (Palm Sugar Simple Syrup)",
                "url": "https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2013/11/andy-rickers-naam-cheuam-naam-taan-piip-palm-sugar-simple-syrup.html",
                "country": "thailand",
                "image": "https://edamam-product-images.s3.amazonaws.com..."
            }
        },
        {
            "id": null,
            "type": "recipe",
            "attributes": {
                "title": "Sriracha",
                "url": "http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/vegetables-recipes/sriracha/",
                "country": "thailand",
                "image": "https://edamam-product-images.s3.amazonaws.com/."
            }
        },
        {...},
        {...},
        {...},
        {etc},
    ]
}

Requirements:

• If country is not sent in by the user, you will need to use the REST Countries API to randomly choose one country’s name.
• For whichever country is either passed in or chosen at random, find recipes using the Edamam Recipe API
• Note: use the q parameter to search for recipes related to that country
• If the country parameter is either an empty string, or a value that doesn’t return any recipes, return an empty array:

{
  "data": []
}

• Testing should look for more than just the presence of attribute fields in the response. Testing should also determine which fields should NOT be present. (don’t send back unnecessary data in the response)

Additions needed:

• Will need to add test for if a country is valid but no results are found
• Have a test currently, but it is failing

Completed, but with errors. Realized that it does not return "data" as specified, but ran out of time to refactor. Will leave this issue open to address in the future.
