BreakFast API Console Application - Written in Nim

breakfast.nim

## A console application for finding breakfast recipes using the BreakFast API.
## If you're building this, please compile with -d:ssl

from httpclient import newHttpClient, getContent
from unicode import title

import strformat
import strutils
import json

let 
  client = newHttpClient()
  recipe = parseJson(client.getContent("https://breakfastapi.fun/"))["recipe"]
  duration = recipe["total_duration"].getInt() # get recipe duration

var 
  dirs = recipe["directions"].getStr().split('.')  # may not include proper punctuation or grammar sometimes

dirs.delete dirs.find("")  # For some reason, there's an empty string in `dirs`. This removes it
dirs.add "And enjoy!" # Add message at the end of the directions :)

echo "Breakfast name: ", recipe["name"].getStr(), '\n'

try: 
  echo &"Cook Time: {duration} minutes ({duration / 60} hours)\n" # Cook Time: x minutes (y hours)
except RangeDefect: # Sometimes duration/60 raises a RangeDefect exception due to its quotient
  echo &"Cook Time: {duration} minutes\n"

# ! Be careful of repeating decimals

## --- Print ingredients ---
echo "Ingriedients:"

for i in recipe["ingredients"]:
  echo "  - ", i.getStr().title() # Capitalize each of the words in the ingredient 

## --- Print directions ---
echo "\nDirections: "

for num, i in dirs:
  echo num + 1, ". ", i.strip() 

echo ""  # print newline

Updated due to update in the BreakFast API.
