load - nodef/food-e GitHub Wiki

Preloads food additive data (before use).

Doing this ahead of time, prevents 1st query being slow.

foode.load();
// --> true

const foode = require('food-e');

foode.load();
/* corpus loaded */
// true

foode('E101a');
/* 1st query does not need to load (fast) */
// [ { code: 'E101a',
//     names: 'Riboflavin-5\'-Phosphate',
//     type: 'color (Yellow-orange)',
//     status: 'e' } ]

foode('101 a');
/* further queries are always fast */
// [ { code: 'E101a',
//     names: 'Riboflavin-5\'-Phosphate',
//     type: 'color (Yellow-orange)',
//     status: 'e' } ]
