Recipe Inventory System

Overview

This is my final project before I got my Java NC III certification.

It's a Java-based application that allows users to input the ingredients they have on hand and receive a list of possible recipes that can be made with those ingredients. This application is designed to help users efficiently utilize their available ingredients and reduce food waste.

Features

• Ingredient Input: Users can enter the ingredients they have available.
• Recipe Output: The system generates a list of recipes that can be made with the provided ingredients.
• Database Connection: The application connects to a MySQL database to store and retrieve recipes and ingredients.
• User Accounts: The system supports user accounts with roles (Admin, Sales, Logistic) for managing recipes and ingredients.

Technologies Used

• Java
• MySQL
• JDBC (Java Database Connectivity)

     private String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/inventory_system_g4";
     private String username = "root"; // Change if necessary
     private String password = ""; // Change if necessary

4. Build the project using Maven:
