Recipe copy macro from alltheflavors => steam-engine

submitted about 4 years ago by nuketro0p3r

I made a small JavaScript macro that helps me copy recipes onto steam-engine.org for mixing.

Setup

1. Create new bookmark named "CopyRecipe". In the URL section, paste the following code

javascript: (function() {    function copyToClipboard(text) {        var dummy = document.createElement("textarea");        document.body.appendChild(dummy);        dummy.value = text;        dummy.select();        document.execCommand("copy");        document.body.removeChild(dummy);    }        var ingredients = document.getElementsByClassName('flavors')[0].children[0].children;        var results = [];    for(var i=0; i&lt;ingredients.length-2; i++){        c = ingredients[i].children;        results.push(c[1].innerText + '|' + c[2].innerText + ' ' + c[3].innerText);    }    copyToClipboard(results);})();

2. Create new bookmark named "PasteRecipe". In the URL section, paste the following code

javascript: (function() {    var ingredients = window.prompt("Paste recipe");    var ingredients = ingredients.split(',');    var flavor_nm = document.getElementsByClassName('flavor-nm');    var flavor_percent = document.getElementsByClassName('flavor-percent');    for(var i=1; i&lt;ingredients.length; i++) document.getElementById('ej-addflavor').click();    for(var i=0; i&lt;flavor_nm.length; i++) flavor_nm[i].value = ingredients[i+1].split('|')[1];    for(var i=0; i&lt;flavor_percent.length; i++) flavor_percent[i].value = ingredients[i+1].split('|')[0];        document.getElementsByClassName('flavor-vg')[0].click();    document.getElementsByClassName('flavor-vg')[0].click();})();

Usage

Goto a recipe on alltheflavors. Click the CopyRecipe bookmark. This will copy the recipe into your clipboard (like you would with Ctrl+C).
Goto the Steam-Engine e-liquid mixing page and click the PasteRecipe bookmark. In the input box, use Ctrl+v OR right-click paste. This will paste the recipe copied by the CopyRecipe macro and populate the ingredients input boxes. All the individual flavours will be pasted with their percentages.

Why not just use the mix page on ATF?

Any benefit of using steam engine over atf?

Nope, it's actually less accurate as it doesn't have density information on flavors.

I see.

So the densities are accurate for all flavors on steam?

No that's the opposite of what I said.

Steam-engine is less accurate.

AllTheFlavors is more accurate.

Now to be fair, ATF doesn't use specific densities unless you tell it too. There's a check box in settings.

Seems like a good point, but I never used the AFT mixer because they require me to log in which I don't like...

Edit 1: One advantage I see is that steam-engine allows you to select if flavor is VG based

Why?

You don't need an account to mix recipes using the calc, you just hit the mix button on a recipe.

Also, you can't create an account on ATF directly, you log in with another account, like Google, Twitter, etc.

You're right. I didn't use the Mix functionality so I had no idea... The mix functionality looks useful. I'll give it a try sometimes. So far, Im more comfortable with steam because I've verified their calculations manually (except for ml => gms ratio they assume), and that worked for me so far.

For the account, I don't like connecting apps to my account because I don't like the clutter of who has information to what form my profile. I prefer keeping separate accounts so that it's harder for other companies to profile me...

Seems like a lot of work. Idc about logging in. I just stay logged in to both ATF and ELR. I use ELR more. There's a couple recipes on both that aren't on the other.
