food-data-central's Introduction

Community API client for the Food Data Central USDA nutrient database

Installation

Install Composer
Execute:

$ composer require marcortola/food-data-central

This wrapper doesn't bundle the HTTP client so you are free to use your preferred one. You can inject it in the FoodDataCentralClient constructor or let the wrapper discover it. If you don't know what I am talking about, the fast solution is to require these packages:

$ composer require php-http/curl-client nyholm/psr7 php-http/message

Usage

$foodDataCentralClient = FoodDataCentralClient::create('your_api_key');

// Find food by FDC ID.
$foodItem = $foodDataCentralClient->food()->food(781125);

// Find food nutrients. See the FoodItem interface for more nutrient finders.
$calcium = $foodDataCentralClient->food()->food(781125)->getCalcium();

food-data-central's Issues

It doesn't work with PHP 7

I run composer require marcortola/food-data-central

and created my on file run.php like this:

<?php

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

$foodDataCentralClient = FoodDataCentralClient::create('MY_API');

// Find food by FDC ID.
$foodItem = $foodDataCentralClient->food()->food(781125);

// Find food nutrients. See the FoodItem interface for more nutrient finders.
$calcium = $foodDataCentralClient->food()->food(781125)->getCalcium();


 ?>

Command line execution of the file failed due to following error:

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'FoodDataCentralClient' not found in /home/tomek/Dokumenty/food_data/run.php:5 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in /home/tomek/Dokumenty/food_data/run.php on line 5

Here is my php:
PHP 7.4.3 (cli) (built: Oct 6 2020 15:47:56) ( NTS )

Please help me to have this working. You did a great job with the API client anyway!
