RECIPE INGREDIENT PARSER

Natural language parser for recipes and lists of ingredients. Can parse a string into an object and also combine an array of these ingredient objects.

About

This project was built on top of code written by nsafai. Forked from suprmat95.

What's different from the original?

• added support for the French language (at work, comming soon).
• added support for the Italian language.
• added support for numbers written in words (for example six cups milk)
• added support for preposition before name of ingredient (for example six cups of milk or sei tazze di latte)

To install

npm install rip-v3 or yarn add rip-v3

To use

import { parse } from 'rip-v3';

And then use on a string, for example: parse('1 teaspoon basil', 'eng'); or parse('1 grammo di zucchero', 'ita');

Will return an object:

{
  quantity: 1,
  unit: 'teaspoon',
  ingredient: 'basil',
  minQty: 1,
  maxQty: 1
};

Combine ingredient objects

combine([{
  quantity: 1,
  unit: 'teaspoon',
  ingredient: 'basil',
  minQty: 1,
  maxQty: 2,
},
{
  quantity: 2,
  unit: 'teaspoon',
  ingredient: 'basil',
  minQty: 2,
  maxQty: 2
}]);

Will return

[{

  maxQty: 4
}]
