Raw / bulk products: add missing categories

[raphodn]

Story

Following #30 & #87

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openfoodfacts/openfoodfacts-server/main/taxonomies/food/categories.txt

Some categories in the price category choices are missing :

• brocoli, chou fleur ?
• meat
• eggs
• fish...

And some categories need to be removed :

• canned
• frozen

[raphodn]

• patate douce
• butternut
• botte de radis, barquette de fraises, ail tressé
• tomates coeur de boeuf
• shiitake

[raphodn]

problem with typeahead and accents

[serpico]

• foie de poulet , while there might be an EAN when it's prepackeged the quantity always vary slightly so input the price par quantity seems more appropriate
• saucisses savoyardes
• saucisses au roquefort
• saucisses piment / saucisses au piment
• saucisses aux herbes
• saucisses chèvre miel
• merguez
• chipolatas
• chair à saucisse
• chair à tomate
• pommes de terre louisiana

edit: after reading raphodn's explanations here it feels like an overkill to include all https://world.openfoodfacts.org/category/prepared-meats which seems to match most of the cases I mentioned here ( provided a few items would be added to the taxonomy ) but then it would be true as well for many cheeses when some user buying his cheeses à la coupe will dive into O-P - for the foreseeable future I'm ok waiting until O-P get's a little bit more integrated with the smooth-app.

I assume these are missing from the selection on Prices. We could add a special parent category to the taxonomy for products that are sold per weight (fresh vegetables, etc,) and individually (croissant, baguette, hot coffee, etc). And where weight is more appropriate (EAN with multiple weight/prices).

[serpico]

Is there a way to displays all the available types of pomme de terre/pommes de terre regardless of which one of those 2 spellings the user type ? Currently :

• pommes de terre displays 14 variations/choices
• pomme de terre displays 5 variations/choices

[raphodn]

fyi the current list of categories is here (a folder, with 1 file per language code)
https://github.com/openfoodfacts/open-prices-frontend/tree/master/src/data/categories

it is generated after running this script
https://github.com/openfoodfacts/open-prices-frontend/blob/master/data/categories/filter_categories.py
see PR #273 for more details

for filtering we use this Vuetify component
https://vuetifyjs.com/en/components/autocompletes/
not sure if it manages "fuzzy" search easily

Thanks for the list. I will relove some.

[aleene]

The list has many errors as the synonyms have been included.

[raphodn]

Fyi i put this list for information, but the script that filters the categories only selects a subset of these. So in the Prices app there isn't as many categories thankfully :)

[aleene]

I could add the parameter sales-format to entries in the category taxonomy. This could have values package, item or weight. The parameter is inheritable, so at a node, implies all children have the same values. A child could overrule maybe. I could start adding these based on the categories you already identified.
