Description

MMM-MealieMenu displays weekly meal plans from Mealie.

Mealie is a self-hosted recipe manager and meal planner.

You can import recipes from various websites, generate shopping lists based on ingredients, and create meal plans.

I use it to store recipes and plan out our meals every week.

Download

Get MMM-MealieMenu from GitHub. Just follow the installation instructions.

You must have Mealie installed somewhere as it is a self-host app.

This is based on the MMM-PaprikaMenu module.
Thanks to kaelspencer for developing that module.

@arus
There is a fix on the Github for this module.
https://github.com/sheyabernstein/MMM-pihole-stats/issues/10
I also created a PR with the fix here https://github.com/sheyabernstein/MMM-pihole-stats/pull/14

@WallysWellies I just updated the module to account for token expiration.
It took me a bit to test since I needed to let the token expire to make sure it worked.

@WallysWellies Are you running MM and Mealie on the same computer? And do you have the MMM-Mealie URL set as localhost?
If so, try changing the MMM-Mealie URL to the IP address of the computer it’s running on.

@WallysWellies I opened MM on my desktop (MM runs on a Pi5) and I can see the meal images.
The default image only displays when the meal image cannot load. Maybe the URL of the images isn’t accessible on your laptop?

@WallysWellies Thanks!
I think the token does expire. I just checked the token on my instance and it expires 1 month from now.
I will work on fixing that soon.

I just realized this error occurs when the meal plan is fetched. I wonder if the auth token is expiring.

I normally use an API key but I just tried my username/password and it worked. I’m on Mealie 1.7.0.
Go ahead and restart MM and see if that works.

Are you on the latest MMM-MealieMenu (1.5.0)? I added an additional log when the auth token fetch fails.

@WallysWellies said in MMM-MealieMenu Fetch Error:

@zanix Thanks for your input :)

I made the change after posting and it certainly doesn’t break anything but I have been playing with some other modules too so have restarted the software several times meaning I haven’t given it a chance to error but based on my understanding it probably shouldn’t anymore. I don’t know why it was in the first place though - the Mealie container is on the Pi so it’s using localhost to retrieve data. Who knows.

Hopefully that fixes the issue, let me know otherwise.

I did make one other change because I wanted to see the next week of meals, rather than the remaining meals this week. So I changed this line:

const startOfWeek = this.getFirstDayOfWeek(config.weekStartsOnMonday);

to this:

const startOfWeek = moment();

It’s pretty crude but if you’re taking suggestions it might be nice to have the option to show x number of days in the future rather than until the end of the week. I don’t believe that’s currently possible natively?

Before now no, but I did just add the fetch fix, updateInterval default to 1 hour, and some additional meal entry options in version 1.5.0.

The options are:

• currentWeek: Only show meals for the current week.
• dayLimit: How many days will be displayed after today.
• entryLimit: How many entries from future days should be shown in total.

Now you can just set currentWeek to false to get the same effect.

Thanks for the module though, it’s great!

I appreciate that, glad it’s useful!
