Better equal meal association, espacially for changes in name

Open worldofjoni opened this issue 6 months ago • 0 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently, when the canteen changes their meal names in the morning, images and other data disappear after a refresh.

Describe the solution you'd like Meals should be better identified as equal. The current trigram filter could be tuned, using the existing data (i.e. setting it as high as no (much) false positives appear in the data set).

Alternatively/Additionally, if a meal plan is changed, have a separate, lower bound on similarity as often the same meal just gets a new name.

Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

Additional context The canteen does not provide unique IDs for their meals, they need to be marched against existing meals in the database according to their name. This is quite fuzzy and error-prone.
