ba_diet_planner

This repository provides source code used for my bachelor-thesis at the University of Regensburg.

Ready... (Requirements)

Node.js v11.12+ npm v6.9+

Either you use the source from the CD attached to the thesis or (recommended) the final commit from GitHub.

If you read this, you are using v0.1.0. Committed and taged by Friday the 29-03-2019. Due to the weekend I have to submit my printed thesis (attached with this code) 2 days before the deadline. I will fix some minor issues till Sunday night and tag the commit with v0.1.1.

$ git clone https://github.com/conpat/ba_diet-planner.git
$ git checkout v0.1.1

or copy the source code to your working directory

Set... (Install)

Install the dependencies.

$ cd ba_diet_planner
$ npm install

Go... (Run it)

The CLI will give you rudimentary help about the available and .

$ node index.js -h

It's important to understand, that the entry point (in terms of code) is the main.js. But to use the CLI you need to use the index.js, this is due to the esm package.

Basically you can run

• a single test.
• all tests together
• prepare the date for further evaluation
• show clients information
• plan and show a demo day

test

With the plain test you run all three algorithms in all possible variations.

$ node index.js test

Adding the planner_version option <-1/-2/-3> you run the test just for one of the algorithms. This can be useful if you want create just the test date for one specific algorithm.

$ node index.js test -2

prepare_data

After running the tests, the results has to be prepared and exported for further evaluation. Again you can use options for exporting results from only one algorithm.

$ node index.js data

demo

The demo can be used to see the the result of planing one day for a client with the chosen planner. In detail it shows:

• all the information of the client.
• all the meals and their information.
• the nutritional values of the planned day.

$ node index.js demo 3 A 99

The CLI help will show how to use it.

client

The client will prepare all clients (calculate the nutritional requirements) and log them to the console.

$ node index.js clients
