IngredientParser

Basic recipe ingredient parser using parslet.

It is not, and will never be, perfect. If it can't separate out a name from an amount, it will fallback to just returning the whole string as the name.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'ingredient_parser'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install ingredient_parser

Usage

2.1.2 :002 > ingr = IngredientParser.parse('10 tablespoons of bananas')
 => #<IngredientParser::Ingredient:0x007f92652c2938 @name="bananas", @amount="10 tablespoons">
2.1.2 :003 > ingr.name
 => "bananas"
2.1.2 :004 > ingr.amount
 => "10 tablespoons"
2.1.2 :005 >
