I am making a small Recipe skill as a personal hobby and I am kinda stuck at a place.
This is what I have:
const SpecialRecipeIntentHandler = {
canHandle(handlerInput) {
return Alexa.getRequestType(handlerInput.requestEnvelope) === 'IntentRequest'
&& Alexa.getIntentName(handlerInput.requestEnvelope) === 'SpecialRecipeIntent';
},
async handle(handlerInput) {
let outputSpeech = 'This is the default message.';
const Dish = Alexa.getSlotValue(handlerInput.requestEnvelope, 'DishType')
const Meal = Alexa.getSlotValue(handlerInput.requestEnvelope, 'MealType')
const Diet = Alexa.getSlotValue(handlerInput.requestEnvelope, 'DietType')
const Health = Alexa.getSlotValue(handlerInput.requestEnvelope, 'HealthType')
const Cuisine = Alexa.getSlotValue(handlerInput.requestEnvelope, 'CuisineType')
const Food = Alexa.getSlotValue(handlerInput.requestEnvelope, 'FoodType')
const Exclusions = Alexa.getSlotValue(handlerInput.requestEnvelope, 'exclusions')
const data = await getRemoteData(`https://api.edamam.com/api/recipes/v2?type=public&q=${Food}&app_id=xxxxx&app_key=xxxxxx&diet=${Health}&health=${Diet}&cuisineType=${Cuisine}&mealType=${Meal}&dishType=${Dish}&calories=200-600&time=20-40&imageSize=REGULAR&excluded=${Exclusions}`).then(JSON.parse);
outputSpeech = `The ingridents required are, `;
for (let i = 0; i < data.hits[0].recipe.ingredients.length; i += 1) {
if (i === 0) {
// first record
outputSpeech = `${outputSpeech} ${data.hits[0].recipe.ingredients[i].text}, `;
} else if (i === data.hits[0].recipe.ingredients.length - 1) {
// last record
outputSpeech = `${outputSpeech} and ${data.hits[0].recipe.ingredients[i].text}. `;
} else {
// middle record(s)
outputSpeech = ` ${outputSpeech + data.hits[0].recipe.ingredients[i].text},`;
}
if (aplHelper.supportsAPL(handlerInput)) {
handlerInput.responseBuilder.addDirective({
type: 'Alexa.Presentation.APL.RenderDocument',
token: 'ImageToken',
document: require('./apl/layouts/Recipe.json'),
datasources: {
Recipe: {
type: 'object',
properties: {
APL1: outputSpeech
}
}
}
});
}
}
return handlerInput.responseBuilder.speak(outputSpeech).getResponse();
}
}
//The above cod lists out all the required Ingrediants, which in my case is:
"1 pound spaghetti noodles, or pasta",
"4 -6 tablespoons butter",
"1/2-3/4 cups grated parmesan cheese",
"1 -2 teaspoons ground pepper",
"4-6 quarts boiling water",
"dash salt"
This is the checklist APL that Amazon has already provided:

How do I get the list of ingridents to show up on an Echo Show as a check list, How do I transfer that data from what alexa gives to the Echo show?!??!
I just started developing skills for my echo devices, been scratching my head for the past few days. hoping to solve this soon!!
