closest_weightlifting_gem

ClosestWeightliftingGem

This application scrapes the USA Weightlifting's Find a Club feature and builds a Gym object for each club, which includes some basic biographical information.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'closest_weightlifting_gem'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install closest_weightlifting_gem

Development

To interact with the command line interface, clone the repo locally and change directories into the new folder. Then you can run bundle install or bin/setup from the terminal prompt to install dependencies that aren't already on your system. Then, call the full program by typing bin/closest-weightlifting-gem into the prompt. Note: It scrapes everything up front so that I can query against the entire set of 1168 gyms (as of June 11 2016).

You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment. From within this console, you can call basic_setup and it will scrape all the gyms in Florida, Illinois, and New York to add some data into the system.

TODO:

• DRY up Scraper class
• Hook up to ActiveRecord
• Geocode gym addresses
• Implement user location input to find nearest gyms
• Map

Done:

• Implement proper options from CLI#show_gym
• show_gym page from #find_by_names menu should take it back to those search results instead of the state results
