# Mat

A small (unofficial) API client for the [Mat API](http://matapi.se/).

The documentation is in Swedish, but so is the [data](http://www.slv.se/sv/grupp1/mat-och-naring/vad-innehaller-maten/livsmedelsdatabasen-/).

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/peterhellberg/mat.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/peterhellberg/mat)

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

    gem 'mat'

And then execute:

    $ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

    $ gem install mat

## Usage

It is probably a good idea to take a look in `specs`

```ruby

# Find the first food with ’köttfärs’ in the name

food = Mat.all('Köttfärs').first

# You can also pass a search query to the find method

food = Mat.find('Köttfärs')

# Get the `iron` value (method_missing is used to retrieve each nutrient)

food.iron #=> 1.09

# Find a specific food by its number

food = Mat.find(3)

food.name #=> "Ister gris"

# You can also list all nutrients

Mat.nutrients

```

### CLI

This gem comes with a simple command line interface.

```ruby

# Finding foodstuff by its number

$ mat 55
