# Recipe Swap Options Use the `recipeSwapOptions` query to retrieve "similar" and "on plan" recipes given a *recipeId*. This query is commonly used to provide alternatives for swapping recipes on a meal plan with similar macronutrients. The `serving` argument can be used with the `numOfServings` field from a `mealPlan` response to find alternative recipes with a similar amount of macronutrients. Recipes in the response have also a `serving` field to know how many of the total numbers of servings have to be served to keep a similar amount of macros. If you already have a meal from a `mealPlan` query, you can use the `serving` argument to find more recipes. The recipes in the response will also have a `serving` field to know how many of the total numbers of servings have to be served to keep a similar amount of macros. ## Available Arguments | **Argument** | **Required** | **Type** | **Description** | | ------------ | ------------ | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | | `recipeId` | True | ID | Original recipe ID. | | `serving` | False | Int | The number of recipe servings served. Default to **1**. | ## Available Fields | **Field Name** | **Type** | **Description** | | :------------: | :----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: | :-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: | | `onPlan` | [RecipeSwapOptions](https://docs.suggestic.com/graphql/objects/recipe/recipe-swap-options) | Object that retrieves other meals in the existing meal plan for the same `mealTime`. If the `size` parameter is not defined, **6** **onPlan** recipes are returned | | `similar` | [RecipeSwapOptions](https://docs.suggestic.com/graphql/objects/recipe/recipe-swap-options) | It retrieves all the recipes different than the original but **similar** in macros. If the `size` parameter is not defined, **3** **similar** recipes are returned. | {% hint style="warning" %} Please note that *recipeSwapOptions* won't work for a user that doesn't have an active meal plan. {% endhint %} ### Example The following example retrieves `similar` and `onPlan` recipes. {% tabs %} {% tab title="Query" %} ```graphql { recipeSwapOptions( recipeId: "UmVjaXBlOjZkNGZkMjY1LWRmYWItNDJmMS1iMWIxLTJmMjk0ZTFlNGFmNw==" serving: 1 ) { similar { id databaseId name mealTags serving numberOfServings } onPlan { id databaseId name mealTags serving numberOfServings } } } ``` {% endtab %} {% tab title="Response" %} ```javascript { "data": { "recipeSwapOptions": { "similar": [ { "id": "UmVjaXBlOmZiYmJiNzgzLWU1MTgtNDhlZi1hM2JhLTdmYjEzNjFlYjM1ZA==", "databaseId": "fbbbb783-e518-48ef-a3ba-7fb1361eb35d", "name": "Oatmeal Walnut Energy Bites", "mealTags": [ "Breakfast" ], "serving": 2, "numberOfServings": 13 }, { "id": "UmVjaXBlOjE4NzRkYzFkLWE5Y2EtNDVhOC05NjMyLThjODE2NDg0NmI3NQ==", "databaseId": "1874dc1d-a9ca-45a8-9632-8c8164846b75", "name": "Green Smoothie", "mealTags": [ "Breakfast" ], "serving": 4, "numberOfServings": 1 }, { "id": "UmVjaXBlOmRiM2Q2OTgyLTM2NzEtNDlmOS05OGFiLWYxZjIxMGFjYTNmZA==", "databaseId": "db3d6982-3671-49f9-98ab-f1f210aca3fd", "name": "Energizing Green Matcha Smoothie Bowl", "mealTags": [ "Breakfast" ], "serving": 4, "numberOfServings": 4 } ], "onPlan": [ { "id": "UmVjaXBlOmZhYmVjMGUzLTdkOTYtNGZhMC1hMWUwLWM4NjRhNDZkNDAyOA==", "databaseId": "fabec0e3-7d96-4fa0-a1e0-c864a46d4028", "name": "Cacao Chia Pudding", "mealTags": null, "serving": 1, "numberOfServings": 1 }, { "id": "UmVjaXBlOmQzMDQ5N2I5LTA2OGQtNDdjYi05MTM3LWFhYmNlMjJkYjVhNA==", "databaseId": "d30497b9-068d-47cb-9137-aabce22db5a4", "name": "Carrot Cake Smoothie", "mealTags": null, "serving": 1, "numberOfServings": 1 }, { "id": "UmVjaXBlOmE2Y2MwOWFjLTZlM2EtNDAyNi1hNjY4LWNkYzEzODI3ZWFmNA==", "databaseId": "a6cc09ac-6e3a-4026-a668-cdc13827eaf4", "name": "Eggs And Daikon Home Fries", "mealTags": null, "serving": 1, "numberOfServings": 1 }, { "id": "UmVjaXBlOmI2Y2E1ZjY0LThkZWMtNDBkZS05MzBiLTQwNTZkNWU5OWNmZg==", "databaseId": "b6ca5f64-8dec-40de-930b-4056d5e99cff", "name": "Plant Protein Power Smoothie", "mealTags": null, "serving": 1, "numberOfServings": 1 }, { "id": "UmVjaXBlOjZjMDEyY2M3LWI1MjgtNDQ3Yy04Njc0LWE2MTUxZjI3ZjkxNA==", "databaseId": "6c012cc7-b528-447c-8674-a6151f27f914", "name": "Lentil Porridge With Mushrooms And Radish", "mealTags": null, "serving": 1, "numberOfServings": 3 }, { "id": "UmVjaXBlOmU2MDIyODAyLWIyM2UtNDkzMi04MmM4LWJkM2M3OGVlYTY3Yw==", "databaseId": "e6022802-b23e-4932-82c8-bd3c78eea67c", "name": "Green Smoothie", "mealTags": [ "Breakfast" ], "serving": 1, "numberOfServings": 2 } ] } } } ``` {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} The following example retrieves 2 similar recipes and 5 onPlan recipes {% tabs %} {% tab title="Request" %} ```graphql { recipeSwapOptions( recipeId: "UmVjaXBlOjdmZTZkNWZkLTBhNmMtNGFhMC1hYmJhLWE2N2Y5NTg1NzEwZQ==" ) { similar (size:2) { id databaseId name mealTags serving numberOfServings } onPlan (size:5) { id databaseId name mealTags serving numberOfServings } } } ``` {% endtab %} {% tab title="Response" %} ```graphql { "data": { "recipeSwapOptions": { "similar": [ { "id": "UmVjaXBlOjliNjAwYTU2LTdjNmQtNGI0ZC05NTgzLTU2YjJlYTZmODBmMg==", "databaseId": "9b600a56-7c6d-4b4d-9583-56b2ea6f80f2", "name": "Sweet Orange Granola", "mealTags": [ "Breakfast" ], "serving": 4, "numberOfServings": 2 }, { "id": "UmVjaXBlOmRiM2Q2OTgyLTM2NzEtNDlmOS05OGFiLWYxZjIxMGFjYTNmZA==", "databaseId": "db3d6982-3671-49f9-98ab-f1f210aca3fd", "name": "Energizing Green Matcha Smoothie Bowl", "mealTags": [ "Breakfast" ], "serving": 4, "numberOfServings": 4 } ], "onPlan": [ { "id": "UmVjaXBlOmZhYmVjMGUzLTdkOTYtNGZhMC1hMWUwLWM4NjRhNDZkNDAyOA==", "databaseId": "fabec0e3-7d96-4fa0-a1e0-c864a46d4028", "name": "Cacao Chia Pudding", "mealTags": null, "serving": 1, "numberOfServings": 1 }, { "id": "UmVjaXBlOmQzMDQ5N2I5LTA2OGQtNDdjYi05MTM3LWFhYmNlMjJkYjVhNA==", "databaseId": "d30497b9-068d-47cb-9137-aabce22db5a4", "name": "Carrot Cake Smoothie", "mealTags": null, "serving": 1, "numberOfServings": 1 }, { "id": "UmVjaXBlOmE2Y2MwOWFjLTZlM2EtNDAyNi1hNjY4LWNkYzEzODI3ZWFmNA==", "databaseId": "a6cc09ac-6e3a-4026-a668-cdc13827eaf4", "name": "Eggs And Daikon Home Fries", "mealTags": null, "serving": 1, "numberOfServings": 1 }, { "id": "UmVjaXBlOmI2Y2E1ZjY0LThkZWMtNDBkZS05MzBiLTQwNTZkNWU5OWNmZg==", "databaseId": "b6ca5f64-8dec-40de-930b-4056d5e99cff", "name": "Plant Protein Power Smoothie", "mealTags": null, "serving": 1, "numberOfServings": 1 }, { "id": "UmVjaXBlOjZjMDEyY2M3LWI1MjgtNDQ3Yy04Njc0LWE2MTUxZjI3ZjkxNA==", "databaseId": "6c012cc7-b528-447c-8674-a6151f27f914", "name": "Lentil Porridge With Mushrooms And Radish", "mealTags": null, "serving": 1, "numberOfServings": 3 } ] } } } ``` {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} --- #
