## 2. Component Descriptions
|
|
|
|
### 2.1 Scraper Service
|
|
**Responsibility**: Fetch and parse data from Lucky California and public recipe sites
|
|
|
|
**Modules**:
|
|
- `LuckyCaliforniaScraper`: Scrapes weekly ad, product catalog, sales
|
|
- `RecipeSiteScraper`: Scrapes recipe images and metadata from public sites
|
|
|
|
**Technology**: Playwright + BeautifulSoup
|
|
|
|
**Data Flow**:
|
|
```
|
|
Lucky California website → Scraper → Parse → Store in PostgreSQL
|
|
Recipe sites → Scraper → Parse → Store as recipe.image_source
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Error Handling**:
|
|
- Retry with exponential backoff (3 attempts)
|
|
- Log failures for admin review
|
|
- Graceful degradation to manual input
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### 2.2 Recipe Engine
|
|
**Responsibility**: Store, tag, and retrieve recipes
|
|
|
|
**Capabilities**:
|
|
- CRUD operations for recipes
|
|
- Tag-based filtering (cuisine, protein, dietary, season)
|
|
- Ingredient matching against home pantry
|
|
- Image URL storage (scraped primary, AI fallback)
|
|
|
|
**Schema**:
|
|
- Recipe: id, name, description, ingredients[], instructions, image_url, cuisine_tags[], dietary_tags[], protein_type, prep_time, cook_time, servings, created_at
|
|
- Ingredient: id, name, aisle, typical_price_range, season_months[]
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### 2.3 Meal Planner Service
|
|
**Responsibility**: Generate weekly meal plans based on constraints
|
|
|
|
**Algorithm Inputs**:
|
|
- Family profile (size, dietary constraints, preferences)
|
|
- Scraped grocery data (sales, in-season)
|
|
- Home pantry items
|
|
- Feedback history (avoid denied meals, prioritize liked ingredients)
|
|
- Variety constraints (max 2 meals with same sauce/protein)
|
|
|
|
**Algorithm Output**:
|
|
- 7-day meal plan with one meal per day
|
|
- Each meal includes: recipe, adjusted ingredients (substituting sale items), estimated cost per serving
|
|
|
|
**Learning Mechanism**:
|
|
- Weight denied meals at 0 (never re-suggest)
|
|
- Weight high-rated meals higher for future weeks
|
|
- Track ingredient frequency to enforce variety
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### 2.4 Notification Service
|
|
**Responsibility**: Send emails and manage approval workflow
|
|
|
|
**Email Triggers**:
|
|
- Weekly meal proposal (to both adults)
|
|
- Reminder email (2 days before shipping deadline)
|
|
- Final meal plan confirmation
|
|
- Shopping list ready notification
|
|
|
|
**Approval Flow**:
|
|
```
|
|
Generate plan → Send proposal email
|
|
→ Wait for responses (48h window)
|
|
→ If deny → Swap meal with alternative
|
|
→ If approve/no response → Confirm meal
|
|
→ After all confirmations → Generate shopping list
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Email Template Data**:
|
|
- Meal name and day
|
|
- Meal image (URL)
|
|
- Ingredient list with pricing
|
|
- Approve/Deny links (tokenized URLs)
|
|
- Estimated total cost
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### 2.5 Feedback Service
|
|
**Responsibility**: Collect and process family feedback
|
|
|
|
**Feedback Types**:
|
|
- **Rating**: 1-5 stars per meal
|
|
- **Denial Reason**: too_expensive, boring, disliked_ingredient, cultural, other
|
|
- **Never-Suggest Flag**: per ingredient or per recipe
|
|
- **Home Pantry Update**: items currently available
|
|
|
|
**Learning Integration**:
|
|
- Feedback stored with timestamps
|
|
- Aggregated weekly to adjust meal planner weights
|
|
- "Never-suggest" ingredients filtered from all future proposals
|
|
- Denial reasons used to improve substitutions
|
|
|

|
|
|
### 2.6 Web UI (React + Tailwind)
|
|
**Responsibility**: Interactive interface for family members
|
|
|
|
**Pages**:
|
|
1. **Dashboard**: Current week's meal plan, approval status, shopping list summary
|
|
2. **Meal Detail**: Full recipe view, ingredients, cooking instructions, print button
|
|
3. **Approval Center**: Pending approvals with Approve/Deny actions
|
|
4. **Pantry Manager**: Add/remove home pantry items
|
|
5. **Feedback Portal**: Rate completed meals, flag ingredients
|
|
6. **Admin/Settings**: Family profile, scraper status, email history
|
|
|
|
**Technology**:
|
|
- React 18+ with TypeScript
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## 5. Deployment Architecture
|
|
|
|
### 5.1 Docker Compose Services
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
services:
|
|
backend:
|
|
build: ./backend
|
|
ports:
|
|
- "8000:8000"
|
|
environment:
|
|
- DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:pass@db:5432/mealplanner
|
|
- SENDGRID_API_KEY=${SENDGRID_API_KEY}
|
|
depends_on:
|
|
- db
|
|
restart: unless-stopped
|
|
|
|
frontend:
|
|
build: ./frontend
|
|
ports:
|
|
- "3000:80" # nginx serves built React app
|
|
depends_on:
|
|
- backend
|
|
restart: unless-stopped
|
|
|
|
db:
|
|
image: postgres:15-alpine
|
|
volumes:
|
|
- postgres_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
|
|
environment:
|
|
- POSTGRES_USER=mealplanner
|
|
- POSTGRES_PASSWORD=${POSTGRES_PASSWORD}
|
|
- POSTGRES_DB=mealplanner
|
|
restart: unless-stopped
|
|
|
|
nginx:
|
|
image: nginx:alpine
|
|
ports:
|
|
- "80:80"
|
|
- "443:443"
|
|
volumes:
|
|
- ./nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
|
|
- ./ssl:/etc/nginx/ssl
|
|
depends_on:
|
|
- frontend
|
|
- backend
|
|
restart: unless-stopped
|
|
|
|
volumes:
|
|
postgres_data:
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 5.2 Reverse Proxy (Nginx)
|
|
|
|
Nginx handles:
|
|
- SSL termination for remote access
|
|
- Routing `/api/*` to backend
|
|
- Routing `/*` to frontend
|
|
- Rate limiting on approval endpoints
|
|
|
|
### 5.3 Remote Access Security
|
|
- Caddy or Nginx with Let's Encrypt
|
|
- VPN option for additional security
|
|
- IP whitelist capability
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## 6. Image Strategy
|
|
|
|
### 6.1 Primary: Scraped Images
|
|
- Recipe images scraped from public recipe sites
|
|
- Lucky California product images where available
|
|
- Stored as URLs (not downloaded), hotlink protection handled gracefully
|
|
|
|
### 6.2 Fallback: AI Generation
|
|
- Triggered only when scraped image unavailable
|
|
- Uses configured AI service (DALL-E, Anthropic, etc.)
|
|
- Generated images cached in database
|
|
- Config flag to enable/disable
|
|
|
|
### 6.3 Email Image Handling
|
|
- Images embedded via CDN or inline base64
|
|
- Alt text provided for email clients that block images
|
|
- Link to web UI for full image gallery
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## 7. Error Handling Strategy
|
|
|
|
### 7.1 Scraper Failures
|
|
1. Log error with full context
|
|
2. Retry 3 times with exponential backoff
|
|
3. If all fail, flag for manual review
|
|
4. Send admin notification after 3 failures
|
|
5. Graceful degradation: allow manual sale input
|
|
|
|
### 7.2 Email Failures
|
|
1. Log send attempt
|
|
2. Retry via SendGrid's built-in retry
|
|
3. If permanently failed, mark meal as "pending email confirmation"
|
|
4. Web UI remains as fallback for approval
|
|
|
|
### 7.3 Database Failures
|
|
1. Connection pooling with automatic reconnect
|
|
2. Read operations can fall back to cache if available
|
|
3. Write operations queued for retry
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## 8. Logging & Monitoring
|
|
|
|
### 8.1 Log Categories
|
|
- `scraper`: All scraping operations and results
|
|
- `email`: SendGrid API calls, delivery status
|
|
- `meal_planner`: Plan generation inputs/outputs
|
|
- `api`: All HTTP requests
|
|
- `feedback`: Feedback submissions
|
|
|
|
### 8.2 Log Storage
|
|
- JSON logs to stdout (Docker log driver)
|
|
- Centralized logging optional (Papertrail, Datadog)
|
|
- Log rotation: 7 days local
|
|
|
|
### 8.3 Monitoring (Future)
|
|
- Uptime monitoring
|
|
- Scraping success rate
|
|
- Email delivery rate
|
|
- Approval response rate
|
