The Villanova course registry is a mess and they've taken away Schedulr. Things likefinding interesting electives to take shouldn't be as difficult as they are.This is the first step to organizing course data and making registration less of ahassle.

Make sure you have a working Go environment. Go version 1.8+ is supported.Seethe install instructions for Go.

To install cli, simply run:

$ go get github.com/ahermida/Goberon

Make sure yourPATH includes the$GOPATH/bin directory so your commands canbe easily used:

export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin

This CLI is currently only tested against MacOS and the Linux Subsystem for Windows.

This project requires a RethinkDB instance to be running. If you don't have itinstalled yet, you can see theRethinkDB installation guidefor your system. If you have Homebrew on a mac, install withbrew update && brew install rethinkdb.

Once you have it installed, you must set the "RdbAddress" value withinthe "Network" variable inGoberon/config/config.go to the port that rethinkdb isopen on.

Go intoGoberon/config/secret.go, edit out the comment and place the data for thePOST request to the registrar (set the cookie, body, headers, and URL). If youdon't know how to get this data, fear not.

You can alternatively navigate to the registrar HTML page with all of the courses, savethe HTML page with all of the courses into the Goberon directory with the namecourses.html.

Once you've rungo get github.com/ahermida/Goberon and you're in the Goberondirectory, you can rungo install.

This will setup the command:goberon

Running$ goberon will load a help menu.

Running$ goberon fetch will download the course data. It usually takes ~4mins.

Using$ goberon index will build course data, and write it into appropriateRethinkDB tables.

Using$ goberon drop will drop all course data tables
