recipemd v0.1.2

recimemd-ts

A library for parsing recipes written in markdown that follows the RecipeMD specification.

This is a TypeScript port of the Python reference implementation, which is licensed under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later.

It uses markdown-it as the markdown parser, which is similar to the library used in Python.

Features

• parsing recipes from markdown strings
• exporting recipes as JSON
• parsing recipes from JSON
• search functionality (not planned)
• Command-line interface (not planned, use the reference implementation instead)

Installation

This library can be installed with npm:

npm install recipemd

Usage

A Recipe object can be created by passing a markdown string to Recipe.parse().

See this example:

import { Recipe } from "recipemd";

let markdown = `
# Water

A refreshing drink that should be consumed several times a day.

*drink, non-alcoholic, H2O*

**1 glass**

---

- *1* glass
- *1* faucet

---

Turn on the faucet and fill the glass.
`;

let recipe = Recipe.parse(markdown);

console.log(recipe);

which results in

Recipe {
  description: 'A refreshing drink that should be consumed several times a day.',
  tags: [ 'drink', 'non-alcoholic', 'H2O' ],
  yields: [ Amount { factor: 1, unit: 'glass' } ],
  ingredients: [
    Ingredient { amount: [Amount], link: null, name: 'glass' },
    Ingredient { amount: [Amount], link: null, name: 'faucet' }
  ],
  ingredientGroups: [],
  instructions: 'Turn on the faucet and fill the glass.',
  title: 'Water'
}
