Command line tool used to parse content written in markdown at @Laboratoria (See Laboratoria/bootcamp).

Installation

Install as a development dependency in your project:

npm i --save-dev @laboratoria/curriculum-parser

You should now be able to run it with npx:

npx curriculum-parser # when already installed in project

# or alternatively using full package name (with org)
# this works even if not previously installed.
npx @laboratoria/curriculum-parser

You can also install curriculum-parser globally using npm like this:

npm i -g @laboratoria/curriculum-parser

If you get a permission error please try using sudo (you may need admin permissions depending on your node installation).

# using `sudo` (only if previous step failed)
sudo npm i -g @laboratoria/curriculum-parser

Alternatively you can install using a local clone.

# clone from your own fork
git clone git@github.com:<your-username>/curriculum-parser.git
cd curriculum-parser
npm install
npm link

If the above command fails, try using sudo:

sudo npm link

Upgrade

If you installed globally using npm you can simply re-install like so:

npm i -g @laboratoria/curriculum-parser

If you chose to install using a local clone, you can update your clone to upstream main:

# go into local copy of repo
cd curriculum-parser
# if not yet added a reference to upstream remote we add it
git remote add upstream git@github.com:Laboratoria/curriculum-parser.git
# fetch changes and merge upstream/main into local main
git fetch upstream
git merge upstream/main
# you may also want to push changes to your fork
git push origin main

Known tracks

This project contains an array in lib/common.js called knownTracks which contains the list of tracks that are known by the parser.

If a new track is ever going to be added to the curriculum, it must be added to this array or else it'd throw the corresponding Invalid track error.
