Recipe Nutritional Profile Calculator

Based on the USDA api This package will only work with usda objects and any other object passed in as a nutrientProfile value will throw error!

How to get nutrient profile of an ingredient from usda api:

basic api call:-- https://api.nal.usda.gov/fdc/v1/foods/search?query=${ingredient_name}&api_key=${your_key}

to get an api key:-- https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/api-key-signup.html

For more information please visit the usda website: https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/api-spec/fdc_api.html#/

How to require the module

const getNutriProfile = require('recipe-nutritional-profile-calculator');

How to pass an ingredients list object:

Pass the USDA object as value to the "nutrientProfile" key as shown below

Units accepted are mentioned below

"mcg", "mg", "g", "kg", "oz", "lb", "ml", "l", "tsp", "Tbs", "cup", "ug",

Users can provide units of the ingredients from the above list which will then be converted to "g" for solids and "ml" for liquids for further calculations.

const ingredientsList = [
  {
    name: "MILK",
    quantity: 200,
    unit: "ml",
    nutrientProfile: {
      // ... usda object
    },
  },
  {
    name: "JAGGERY",
    quantity: 10,
    unit: "g",
    nutrientProfile: {
      // ... usda object
    },
  },
  {
    name: "OATS",
    quantity: 60,
    unit: "g",
    userInputed: "true",
    nutrientProfile: {
      // ... usda object
    },
  },
];

const nutriProfile = getNutriProfile(ingredientsList);
