# Integrate Food Search

The API below is used for food search.

```typescript
  /**
   * Search the database of foods with a given search term.
   * @param searchQuery - The search term to match against food item names.
   * @returns A `Promise` resolving to an array of food item names.
   */
  searchForFood(searchQuery: string): Promise<PassioSearchResult | null>

  /**
   * Data info of the search food with a given search result.
   * @param passioFoodDataInfo - Provide `PassioFoodDataInfo` object get `PassioFoodItem` detail.
   * @returns A `Promise` resolving to `PassioFoodItem` detail.
   */
  fetchFoodItemForDataInfo(
    passioFoodDataInfo: PassioFoodDataInfo
  ): Promise<PassioFoodItem | null>
```
