Recipes Table Refresh Button

Recipe data is stored inside the user's browser. This implementation decision was made to help reduce the workload on the AWS database. When other users add new recipes to the collection, you will not see those new recipes on your browswer unless you close down and clear the cache in your browser or hit the provided refresh button in the all recipes table. This will retrieve any new recipe data added by other users and will update your local browsers recipe table.

Add New Recipe Guidelines (Input Validation)

System Security - Input validation prevents improperly formed data from entering an information system. Because it is difficult to detect a malicious user who is trying to attack software, applications should check and validate all input entered into a system.

Please avoid entering ANY special characters such as < > ` @ # $ % ^ & * _ + - = [ ]{ } ; ' : " \ | ~. When adding new recipes, the following table is provided as a guideline to help you understand values that will not be accepted.
