Import a video via share link

We keep the manual flow simple: paste a link in the app, or share to CookLikeIt from any video app. If you automate, the pattern below works.

Share-sheet pattern

// share your video link to CookLikeIt via system share sheet
const videoUrl = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ";
// app extracts: ingredients, steps[], timers[], translations
const recipe = await CookLikeIt.extract(videoUrl, {
  targetLanguage: "en",
  dubbing: true,
  servings: 4
});
console.log(recipe.steps[0]); // { text, image, timerSec: 540 }

Tip: start with public YouTube links. Local files from camera roll also work.

Hands-free commands

• “next” — go to next step
• “repeat” — read current step again
• “start timer” — begin synced timer for this step
