NutritionKit

This library provides useful functionality for food and nutrition apps in SwiftUI, including:

• Integration with the OpenFoodFacts database
• Barcode scanning
• Nutrition label scanning
• Nutrition label rendering

OpenFoodFacts Integration

To lookup a food item from the OpenFoodFacts database, you can use the OpenFoodFactsAPI class.

import NutritionKit

let api = OpenFoodFactsAPI.shared
let foodItem = try await api.find("59032823")

print(foodItem.productName) // Prints "Nutella - 630g"

To configure the fields you are interested in, you can use the configure function:

api.configure(productFields: [.productName, .servingSize])

Barcode Scanning

NutritionKit provides a SwiftUI view for scanning generic barcodes, BarcodeScannerView. To use this view, you must set the value Privacy - Camera Usage Description in your app's Info.plist.

By itself BarcodeScannerView only shows the live camera feed with no overlay or other info. You can provide more information yourself by embedding it in a ZStack or in another view.

import NutritionKit

struct ContentView: View {
    @State var barcodeData: Barcode? = nil

    var body: some View {
        BarcodeScannerView(barcodeData: $barcodeData)
            .onChange(of: barcodeData) { data in
                // A barcode was detected in the camera feed
            }
    }
}

Nutrition Label Scanning

NutritionKit can detect and parse nutrition labels. Currently, only English and German labels are supported. Nutrition labels are scanned similarly to barcodes with the NutritionLabelScannerView.

import NutritionKit

struct ContentView: View {
    @State var nutritionLabel: NutritionLabel? = nil

    var body: some View {
        NutritionLabelScannerView(nutritionLabel: $nutritionLabel)
            .onChange(of: nutritionLabel) { data in
                // A nutrition label was detected in the camera feed
            }
    }
}

Currently, the following information can be detected:

• Serving size
• Calories, calories from fat
• Fat, saturated fat, unsaturated fat, trans fat, omega-3 fatty acids
• Carbohyrates, sugar, added sugar, starch, sugar alcohols, dietary fiber
• Protein
• Salt, Sodium, Cholesterol
• Vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B9, B12, C, DE, E, K
• Caffeine, Taurine, Alcohol
• Magnesium, Calcium, Zinc, Potassium, Iron, Fluoride, Copper, Chloride, Phosphorus, Iodine, Chromium
