Import Menu Planner (iOS) recipes to Mealie by API

[Christian-Me]

Anybody uses or used the iOS App Menu Planner www.menu-plannner.com might be interested in a relatively easy way to migrate their data, I wrote a node.js script to do this with "relative" ease (by sending one email per recipe).

• tries to match all base data to Mealie (prep Time, cook time, url, servings and rating)
• uses existing units and ingredients. Create new ingredients if necessary.
• support of translation table (units.json) to avoid inaccurate fuzzy search matches.
• uses fuzzy search (fuze.js) to match ingredients, units and for ingredient highlighting (may result in wrong matches)
• splits instructions into steps by paragraphs (as menu planner only supports a singe step)
• Links ingredients to steps and highlights them in the text (Bold)
• uploads included recipe image

you find it here https://github.com

If this is useful for anybody (there might be not many menu planner users out there) let me know. Could even be a kick-start for doing the same task in case of other recipe apps.
For issues and comments do the usual stuff. Perhaps I find time to for some support.
