Mensa Widget

A scriptable widget (for iOS and iPadOS) that retrieves and displays your university's cafeteria menu via the OpenMensa API. The script was developed specifically for the cafeteria menu of the "Studentenwerk Hannover" (default is the Hauptmensa), but can also be used for other universities (read below).

 
   
   
   
   
   

Setup

1. Download the Scriptable App
2. Download the mensaplan.js-script and open it with Scriptable or copy it to "iCloud Drive/Scriptable"
3. Configure (read below)
4. Add a new medium or large widget to your home screen (depends on the amount of meals)
5. Short press on the newly added widget and choose mensaplan as script.

Configuration

Change City

If you want to use the widget for another cafeteria, you'll have to replace the "mensaID" integer at the beginning of the script.

You can find out your cafeteria's ID by following these steps:

1. Sign in at the OpenMensa website
2. Look for your cafeteria on the map
3. Check if your cafeteria's menu is available
4. If so, copy the ID from the URL (https://openmensa.org/c/{mensaID}/{date})

As said in the introduction, this script is optimized for only one certain cafeteria and may not work as intended for others.

Vegetarian / Vegan  

If you're only interested in the vegetarian or vegan options you can let the widget only show these by replacing "false" with "true" next to the respective variables at the beginning of the script.

Hide Categories

You can add categories that should be hidden by append their names as strings to the "hidden_categories"-array. The category names can be found on the OpenMensa website (https://openmensa.org/c/{mensaID}) on the left side.

Example usage: In the default configuration for Hanover, all salad meals are hidden.
