Plend is a library for performing least cost formulation with Python. Plend uses [PuLP](https://github.com/coin-or/pulp) to solve formula constraint problems.

## Installation

```text
$ pip install git+https://github.com/bherbruck/plend
```

or

```text
$ pip install plend
```

## Examples

```python
from plend import Formula, Ingredient, Nutrient
from plend.presets.poultry import *

# initialize formula
starter = Formula(name='Starter', batch_size=100)

# add ingredient constraints from poultry presets
starter.add_ingredient(corn, minimum=1)
starter.add_ingredient(soybean_meal)
starter.add_ingredient(oil, maximum=5)
starter.add_ingredient(limestone)
starter.add_ingredient(meat_meal, maximum=10)

# add nutrient constraints from poultry presets
starter.add_nutrient(energy, minimum=3000)
starter.add_nutrient(protein, minimum=20)
starter.add_nutrient(fiber)
starter.add_nutrient(calcium, minimum=4, maximum=5)

# optimize the formula
starter.optimize()

# output the formula to a csv
print(starter.to_csv())
```

### outputs:
