Example Code

Here’s how you might fetch recipes from an API:

import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import { FlatList, Text, View } from 'react-native';

const RecipeApp = () => {
  const [recipes, setRecipes] = useState([]);

  useEffect(() => {
    fetch('https://api.example.com/recipes')
      .then(response => response.json())
      .then(data => setRecipes(data.results))
      .catch(error => console.error('Error fetching recipes:', error));
  }, []);

  return (
    <FlatList
      data={recipes}
      keyExtractor={item => item.id.toString()}
      renderItem={({ item }) => (
        <View>
          <Text>{item.name}</Text>
        </View>
      )}
    />
  );
};

export default RecipeApp;

Further Enhancements
