Halpin is a web scraper that will perform a set of different tasks, like showing particular information taken from the web, based on user input. Made with Ruby & Nokogiri for scrapping
- Nokogiri
- Mechanize
- Colorize
- RSpec
The development environment uses Ruby, hence install ruby before proceeding.
- Mac OS -
brew install ruby - Linux -
sudo apt-get install ruby-full - Windows - Download RubyInstaller here, run it, and you are done!
- You can download the zip project clicking here or you can clone the project using the command - git clone https://github.com/Fig77/Halpin-hand.git
- If you are in windows, just navigate to the Halpin-hand/bin and click on main to start the app. On Linux, navigate with console using cd command and then write
ruby bin/main.rb - Run bundle to install extra gems needed to load ( command bundle install on the command line, or install with gem install [name] the gems listed here that says requires to install ). Need help with bundle?
- Once you enter the app, you'll be greeted by the Menu. In there you'll see which functions (of those that appear on-screen) are currently active, what will be next, and what will probably take a bit longer.
- Here the app will scrape through Santa-Fe's city website and will get events with start time and location of a given specific date. If no event is found, nothing will be shown. If an invalid date is entered, you'll be returning to the menu.
- After date format is shown, you'll be expected to enter a date with said format.
Testing was done using RSpec. You can run the tests with the following command
bundle exec rspec
