A Haskell package for messing with the Carleton directory.
Stalkernet.Types: Types for people/staff/faculty, with...- Binary serialization/deserialization
- JSON serialization/deserialization
- (ANSI-terminal colored) pretty-printer
Stalkernet.Parsing: Functions for extracting structured data from HTMLStalkernet.Fetching: Functions for fetching data from the directory in multiple threads
Builds a binary called stalk.
For the time being, it is just a command-line interface to some of the library's features.
It may someday evolve into a full-featured search tool (possibly as a web service).
Usage: stalk fetch (binary|json|pretty)
- fetch all data from stalkernet and
write it to stdout in the given format,
with a maximum of <threads> outstanding
requests at once.
stalk dump (binary|json) (binary|json|pretty)
- read stalkernet date from stdin in the first
format, and write it to stdout in the second.
Be careful with <threads>.
Too many will either make Mike Tie angry or cause a response timeout
(which, at this point, crashes the program).
I would recommend no more than 20.
Run: cabal install in the root directory.
You need ghc and cabal-install.
The best way to obtain these tools are by installing the Haskell platform.
stalkernet.cabal describes the build (flags, dependencies, etc.).
If you run into dependency issues (sometimes called 'cabal hell'), consider using Nix.
Yes! Please do.
