Weekly dinner meal plan using recipes from Mealie

This workflow randomly select recipes from a Mealie instance (can use a specific category) and then creates a meal plan in Mealie with those recipes.

How it works:

• Workflow has a scheduled trigger (set to run weekly on a Friday)
• Config node sets a few properties to configure the workflow
• A call to the Mealie API to get the list of recipes
• The code node holds most of the logic, this will loop through the number of recipes defined in the config node and randomly select a recipe from the list (making sure not to double up any recipes)
• Once all the recipes are selected it will call the Mealie API to set up the meal plan on the days

Setup

• Add your Mealie API token as a credential and set it on the Http Request nodes
• Set the relevant schedule trigger to run when you like
• Update the Config node with the config you want
  • numberOfRecipes - Number of recipes to populate for the meal plan
  • offsetPlanDays - Number of days in the future to start the plan (0 will start it today, 1 tomorrow, etc.)
  • mealieCategoryId - A category id of the category you want to pull in recipes from (default to select from all recipes)
  • mealieBaseUrl - The base url of your Mealie instance
