cooklang-py 0.2.0

Python Parser for Cooklang

cooklang-py

A parser for the Cooklang recipe markup language

Installation

To install just run:

pip install cooklang-py

Recipe

The Recipe is the primary unit. There are 2 ways to create a Recipe object:

from cooklang_py import Recipe

# Create from a string in memory
recipe_string = '<your recipe here>'
recipe = Recipe(recipe_string)

# Create from a file
recipe_file = '/path/to/recipe/file'
recipe = Recipe.from_file(recipe_file)

Just like a recipe in a book a Recipe contains:

• Ingredients
• Cookware / equipment
• Timings
• Metadata (servings, cook time, etc.)

To see how to define these in your input please refer to the Cooklang language specification

When the recipe is parsed there will be a list of Step objects. Each step object can contain:

• Ingredients
• Cookware
• Timings
• Instructions (text)

At both the Recipe and Step level you can access the list of Ingredients and Cookware for the recipe or step.

Cookware, Timings, and Ingredients

Cookware, timings, and ingredients are the backbone of the recipe. In this package all three inherit from the BaseObj. They all have the following 3 attributes:

• name - the name of the item (i.e. pot, carrot, etc.)
• quantity - how much is needed
  • For Ingredient quantity defaults to "some" if it is not set.
  • For Cookware quantity defaults to 1 if it is not set.
• notes - any notes for the item (i.e. "greased", "peeled and diced", etc.)
  • Timings do not have notes per the Cooklang specification.
