There's a lot more to a recipe then a title and source. In this video we'll be adding the rest of our property to the displayRecipe method, using a simple easy to read format.
Code Sample
public static function displayRecipe($recipe)
{
$output = "";
$output .= $recipe->getTitle() . " by " . $recipe->getSource();
$output .= "\n";
$output .= implode(", ",$recipe->getTags());
$output .= "\n\n";
foreach ($recipe->getIngredients() as $ing) {
$output .= $ing["amount"] . " " . $ing["measure"] . " " . $ing["item"];
$output .= "\n";
}
$output .= "\n";
$output .= implode("\n", $recipe->getInstructions());
$output .= "\n";
$output .= $recipe->getYield();
return $output;
}
Currently our display recipe uses only the title and source properties and 0:00 returns those to the function call as a single formatted string. 0:04 The first thing we need to do is start an output variable instead of returning this 0:09 line directly we're gonna add that to the output variable. 0:13 We can then return our output variable. 0:25 Will keep the title and source as our first line. 0:32 Then we'll add a new line. 0:35 We'll use our concatenation and,we'll add a new line character. 0:40 Our next line will be the tags. 0:44 We're gonna want to use an implode. 0:57 We'll separate these with a comma. 1:05 Let's add another line break. 1:08 Now we can add our ingredients. 1:13 Formatting for our ingredients is a little more complicated. 1:17 So let's loop through the ingredients and format each line. 1:20 First we'll add the amount. 1:37 And then we'll add our measure. 1:47 And finally, our item. 1:55 We also ,want to add a new line after each item. 2:01 Let's add our instructions using implode again. 2:10 This time we'll separate with a line break. 2:20 Let's add another line break. 2:30 And now our yield. 2:38 Let's take a look at this by running our code. 2:47 This looks pretty good let's add a couple more line breaks. 2:51 I want an extra one before our ingredients and an extra line before our instructions. 2:57 Pull this up and try again. 3:12 Great. That looks much better. 3:14
