Python tools to help automate some tasks for plan the weekly meal
We need to generate a shopping list of all ingredients needed for all the meals for that week. To do this we use a Trello board and some conventions.
- Have a board with a list of cards for each recipe you want
- Each recipe card must use a YAML description of the recipe also inside ``` to make easy to read:
Example:
```
name: Strogonoff
ingredients:
- name : Filet
quantity : 0.3
unit : kg
- name : Mushrooms
quantity : 0.1
unit : kg
portions: 2
prep-time: 30min
steps:
- Do this
- then do that
- and finish with this
```
To use this you first need Trello key and token. The easiest way is just go to: https://trello.com/app-key and follow the instructions.
To get the LIST_ID just open the Chrome dev tools, inspect the network while change the list name.
pip install -r requirements.txt- Create a settings.ini file. Example:
[settings]
TOKEN=<YOUR TRELLO USER TOKEN>
KEY=<YOUR TRELLO KEY>
LIST_ID=<YOUR LIST ID WITH RECIPES>
python shopping-list.py > list.csv
