OSU CS Course Explorer

Wondering how hard your next class might be? Did other students think CS162 was a bloodbath, too? This app can tell you!

The OSU eCampus subreddit collects course reviews from real students into this spreadsheet, but the spreadsheet is large and hard to navigate. This app lets you view individual course reviews and aggregates difficulty ratings and time spent.

This project was generated with the Angular Full-Stack Generator version 4.2.2.

OSU Course Explorer - March 2018

Development

Prerequisites

Building & Running

nvm use 12 to use version 12 of node. Gulp is on version 3 and is incompatible with more recent versions of node. I recommend using Node Version Manager to install and switch between versions of node.

Run npm install to install dependencies after switching to node 12.

For setup on a new machine:

gulp build

cd dist

git init

heroku git:remote -a <your-project>

gulp buildcontrol:heroku

For subsequent runs:

Run gulp build for building and gulp serve for preview on localhost:3000.

Run gulp buildcontrol:heroku to deploy to Heroku.

Testing

Run npm test to run the unit tests with karma.
