zutat

zutat is a small Ruby gem which allows you to simply get and work with recipes from diy.soylent.me. It is is dead-simple and you can easily get Soylent recipes for your project.

FYI: "zutat" is German and means ingredient.

Just install the gem from RubyGems.

gem install zutat

At first, you should require the gem. Otherwise it won't work.

require 'zutat'

Then you must initialize a new client.

client = Zutat::Client.new

At this point, you can get a recipe by its ID. If I want the "People Chow 3.0.1" recipe, I type:

recipe = client.get_recipe "people-chow-301-tortilla-perfection"

If I want to know, how many calories are specified as nutrient target I simply use:

puts recipe.nutrient_targets.calories

Or when I want to know the source (to buy) for each ingredient in this recipe:

recipe.ingredients.each do |ingredient|
  puts ingredient.source
end

• Adding index with all objects
• Adding search feature
• Optimizing attributes from Zutat::Ingredients and Zutat::NutrientTargets
