Now that we have our recipe class complete, we’ll create all the recipe objects for our collection.
Ways to pull the recipes
- Typed straight into code (single or individual files)
- Read from individual text files
- Stored in a Database
- Pulled from an API / JSON feed
Note: This course uses option 1 with a single file.

I hope you enjoyed exploring
your magical powers so far.

In the words of Terry Pratchett,
it's still magic,
0:04
even if you know how it's done.
0:07
We still have more to learn.
0:09
In the next section, we'll be
grouping our objects into collections
0:10
by creating a cookbook for our recipes.
0:14
To do that,
we'll need some recipes to work with.
0:17
Plus, I promised you
some of my own recipes.
0:20
So how do we load up
a bunch of recipe objects?
0:23
There are many different ways
to load these recipes or
0:27
any other data into our program.
0:30
Most likely, you would want to
use some sort of database or
0:32
pull from a json feed or
something similar.
0:36
Data storage and feeds are more than
we need to get into in this course.
0:39
So instead I set everything up for
you in a single recipe.php file.
0:44
Grab that file from the download section,
and
0:49
let's get some recipes
loaded into the project.
0:52
We want to stay organized.
0:55
Since this is a helper file,
we want to put it in a new folder.
0:57
So let's add a new folder called inc.
1:01
This is short for include.
1:06
Then we'll upload the recipes.php file.
1:09
Let's take a look at this recipes file.
1:17
At the top, I've included a DocBlock
comment area that gives you some notes,
1:21
as well as a list of all
the recipes in this file.
1:26
You can scroll down and
1:29
see these recipes have been added
just like we added recipe1.
1:30
You're welcome to add your own
recipes to this file as well.
1:34
Let's load these recipes into our project.
1:39
Back in cookbook.php,
we'll add a new include.
1:42
And voila,
you have a bunch of recipes ready to use.
1:53
Let's clean up the recipes
from this file and
1:57
display one of the full recipes
from this new file instead.
1:59
Now let's run this script.
2:15
Great, we see our Belgian waffle
recipe by Alena Holligan.
2:23
All this work is making me hungry but
2:28
we're not quite ready
to start cooking yet.
2:31
You're doing great.
2:34
We have a recipe class and
all our recipe objects loaded.
2:35
We have a render class for rendering
our recipes in the desired formats, and
2:40
we've taken on the role of magician.
2:45
That's quite the accomplishment.
2:47
At this point our recipes
are basically a random stack of cards.
2:49
That makes it really hard to find
anything we actually want, or
2:53
even to know what we have.
2:58
In the next section,
we'll create a collection of objects
3:00
that can help us organize and
make use of these recipes.
3:03
Man does not live on coding alone,
so take a break and recharge.
3:07
But hurry back, I'm excited to
show you my cookbook collection.
