Food framework for future fulfilment

food

A modelling experiment that may or may not be useful. This repository contains common ingredients, recipes, a way to map them together, and meta data for preparation.

Potential Uses

Once common recipes are mapped, can potentially:

• generate a shopping list from a quick selection
• warn about expiration date clashes in shopping list
• hook list into grocery delivery APIs
• run time optimization algorithms for multiple recipes

Ingredients

Currently locked in this repo.

Format

All data is pure JSON, but illustrated here in javascript with comments:

{
  "basil": {
    "unit": "g", // measurement unit used in amounts
    "types": { // complete list of types and associated values
      "fresh": {
        "size": 31, // amount of units found in container
        "container": "pack" // can be used as shorthand unit e.g. "unit": "pack"
      },
      "dried": {
        "size": 10,
        "container": "jar"
      }
    },
    "default": "dried" // default type in types object
  }
}

• size + container can be lifted if they are equal for all types, e.g. sugar
• types can be an array of keys if everything can be lifted
• unit + container can be left blank or set to null if container === name, e.g. bananas.
