Laravel Openfoodfacts Reader

Introduction

Get product data from openfoodsfacts with a local driver and an api driver.

Requirements

Laravel Openfoodfacts Reader requires PHP 8.2+ and Laravel 10.

If you use the local driver currently around 50 GB of disk space are required.

Installation

Install the package by

composer require ccharz/laravel-openfoodfacts-reader

Drivers

Local

This driver uses data imported from the official jsonl export from openfoodfacts. Keep in mind that the decompressed files has ~3.5 Million Products and take up to 50GB of storage at the moment.

Setup

First publish the migrations using

php artisan vendor:publish --tag openfoodfactsreader-migrations

Run php artisan migrate to migrate your database.

Import Database

1. Download the current database jsonl from https://static.openfoodfacts.org/data/openfoodfacts-products.jsonl.gz.
2. Decompress the downloaded file (for example using gunzip gunzip openfoodfacts-products.jsonl.gz)
3. Import the file into the database using the artisan command

php artisan openfoodfactsreader:import openfoodfacts-products.jsonl

(asserting the decompressed file exists in the root folder of your application).

Using your own model

namespace App\Models;

use Ccharz\LaravelOpenfoodfactsReader\Driver\Local\OpenfoodfactsProduct as BaseOpenfoodfactsProduct;

class OpenfoodfactsProduct extends BaseOpenfoodfactsProduct
{
...

In the config file of the package you can specify your class:

// config/openfoodfactsreader.php
...
   'model' => App\Models\OpenfoodfactsProduct::class
...

API V2

This driver uses the official v2 api.

Setup

Publish the configuration using

php artisan vendor:publish --tag openfoodfactsreader-config

and set the user agent. The User-Agent should be in the form of AppName/Version (ContactEmail). For example, MyApp/1.0 ([email protected]).

Usage

Get Product Data By Barcode

/** @var Ccharz\LaravelOpenfoodfactsReader\Driver\Local\OpenfoodfactsProduct $product */
$product = app(LaravelOpenfoodfactsReader::class)->product('737628064502');

You can access the product data via the data method of the OpenfoodfactsProduct Model.

Driver Selection

You can either use the default driver configured in the config file or specify it using the driver method.

app(LaravelOpenfoodfactsReader::class)->driver('local')->product('737628064502');
app(LaravelOpenfoodfactsReader::class)->driver('v2')->product('737628064502');
